Law of Contracts in Late Antique Persia

The article is about private law contracts and their social, economic, and religious background in Sasanian Persia (224–651) before the advent of Islam. After a brief introduction to the sources and research method, the paper examines Zoroastrian moral teachings about obligations in general and contractual obligations in particular. To emphasise the religious background, the Avestan hymn to Mithra and the Vendidad are scrutinised which have a classification of contracts and a pyramid of sanctions for their breach. The second part of the article analyses private law contracts, which can be found in the Sasanian Law Book called Madigan I Hazar Dadestan, such as sale, barter, donation, lease, and loan, together with legal guarantees such as surety and pledge. In addition to legal dogmatics, attention is also paid to gaps in the law and the opportunities they provide for parties to achieve unlawful ends with legal means, as well as the prudence of Sasanian lawyers and how they stopped such abuses of the law.

THE GENRE FEATURES OF THE WORKS OF DIMITRY ROSTOVSKY ABOUT THE ILYA ICON OF THE HOLY MOTHER

The author of the article examines the two earliest works by St. Dimitry Rostovsky — “The Miracles of the Most Holy and Blessed Virgin Mary” (1677) and “The Bedewed Fleece” (first edition 1683), created on the basis of the first work. Both books, in terms of content and genre characteristics, represent a legend about the miraculous icon — the Ilya Icon of the Holy Mother of God. The icon was the main shrine of the Boldinsky Trinity Ilya Monastery. A historical and literary analysis of both books showed that both “The Miracles of the Most Holy and Blessed Virgin Mary” and “The Bedewed Fleece” have a certain set of motifs about its miracles and deeds, which puts them on a par with the texts of other legends about miraculous icons. The heyday of this genre occurred in the 17th — early 18th century. The main miracle and the main motif of the legends created by Dimitry Rostovsky is the flow of tears from the icon, which occurred in 1662: the Ilya Icon of the Holy Mother began myrrh-streaming and praying to the Divine Son for the salvation of the entire human race. The remaining miracles describe healings from illnesses and ailments that occur through prayer in front of the icon. However, the composition and style of these books, which reflect new trends and a new style — the Baroque style, differ significantly from the works of this genre. The main difference is that Dimitry Rostovsky inserts additional narratives into the text. He adds moral teachings to the book “Miracles of the Most Holy and Blessed Virgin Mary” and moral teachings, conversations and attachments to the book “The Bedewed Fleece.” They play an important role in the architectonics of the text and carry a significant semantic load, thereby creating a new literary form in the context of the genre of tales about miraculous icons.

Livelihood is an obligation that must be fulfilled by the husband towards his wife and children. Livelihood can be in the form of birth income such as clothing, food, shelter and mental livelihood such as good moral teaching. Even if there is a divorce between husband and wife, the obligation to provide for children is still continuously fulfilled by the father. But in reality, in the community these income obligations tend to be neglected. Of course, this is not in line with what is in the Compilation of Islamic Law and Human Rights Instruments both nationally and internationally. This study aims to determine how the implementation of the fulfillment of children's support rights after divorce in Banyuurip Gresik Village. This research is empirical research with a sociological approach.

The data obtained is then analyzed through the stages of data preparation, data reduction, and conclusions. The results of this study show that the implementation of the fulfillment of children's support rights after divorce is not carried out properly. This is influenced by several factors, including no claim for income, inadequate economic conditions, and the absence of awareness and responsibility of the husband for the obligation to provide for children after divorce. Husbands tend to neglect these obligations and the fulfillment of children's support tends to be carried out by wives and their families.

Dakwah Islam dalam Dunia Pendidikan Bahasa Arab untuk Membentuk Generasi Muslim yang Sadar

This research aims to investigate the positive impact of using Arabic in an educational context on understanding the Islamic values contained in it. The target of this research is students from the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication Sciences at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. This research applies a qualitative approach using case study and questionnaire techniques as the main method of data collection. From the survei results, it can be concluded that the majority of respondents (90%) consider it important to include Arabic in the university curriculum. The reason for implementing the use of Arabic is because it involves moral development, cross-cultural communication, and understanding Islamic teachings. Respondents also saw the benefits of learning Arabic in the context of deepening understanding of the Koran, improving the quality of worship, and forming polite character. Overall, the survei supports the success of Arabic in making a positive contribution to the moral and spiritual formation of students. Some respondents had different points of view because they found it difficult to learn Arabic, but they provided several different solutions for learning it. The next reason for differences of opinion is the status of Arabic as an international language because not all universities have muslim students.

A Portrait of Tri Kaya Parisudha in Cingkreman (Hofstede's Study of Cultural Dimensions)

Cultural practices in society are greatly influenced by the extent to which they are able to provide benefits to those who practice them. One of the cultural practices that is still found in the heritage region of the city of Denpasar is called cingkreman. This is a culture-based and family-based financial planning and savings system. Cingkreman is based on an agreement between individuals to join a cingkreman group (sekaa). The period of participation for one period corresponds to the cycle of the Galungan holidays, namely 210 days. The novelty of this research is to bring to the surface the cultural practices that exist in society so that efforts can be made to preserve the tradition of cingkreman. This is qualitative research with an interpretive paradigm that uses an ethnomethodological approach. The aim of this research is to find out how the concept of Tri Kaya Parisudha (moral teaching about personal behavior) is applied to cingkreman and how this practice continues to exist in the midst of society. The data were collected through interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). The research results show that the Tri Kaya Parisudha concept is practiced in the cingkreman system. The behavior of the members and coordinators of a sekaa, as reflected in the themes resulting from the stages of Garfinkel's analysis, reflects kayika parisudha (good acts), wacika parisudha (good speech), and manacika parisudha (good thought). The foundation of behavior based on these three noble attitudes of Tri Kaya Parisudha is able to produce cultural values which cause the practice of cingkreman to provide benefits to its practitioners. The benefits felt by these actors mean that cingkreman will continue to be practiced, and this is one of the reasons why the carrying out of cingkreman persists amidst technological advances which are slowly eroding existing cultural practices in society. Hofstede's cultural dimensions that are found in the practice of cingkreman include uncertainty avoidance, collectivity, and femininity. The dimension of power differences is not found because, in the practice of cingkreman, there are no differences between the participants in the social strata. Everyone has the same right to join the cingkreman group.

“Everybody Against VD!” The Health League’s Wartime Film and Lecture Events

The Second World War saw the Health League of Canada revive its campaign to combat syphilis and gonorrhea among Canadians, a task made urgent by the perceived need to secure moral and medical advantages for the dominion during a global conflict. While the league strongly supported public venereal disease education, it was also convinced that Canadians would benefit most from a hybrid “moral-medical” model of teaching that blended scientific information with moral instruction. By examining the content presented to audiences in film and lecture events — a staple of the organization’s wartime activities, which blended entertainment, health education, and moral instruction — it becomes clear that the advice the league extended to Canadians was intended to reassert the importance of morality to public health at a time when increasingly effective treatments for venereal disease lessened the impact of infection. For the league, sexual activity within the confines of heterosexual marriage was the only morally and medically tenable form sexuality could take; any other alternative endangered the bodies and minds of Canadians at a time when their nation needed them at their healthiest.

A short-term longitudinal study on the development of moral disengagement among schoolchildren: the role of collective moral disengagement, authoritative teaching, and student-teacher relationship quality.

The aim of this study was to examine whether collective moral disengagement and authoritative teaching at the classroom level, and student-teacher relationship quality at the individual level, predicted individual moral disengagement among pre-adolescent students 1 year later. In this short-term longitudinal study, 1,373 students from 108 classrooms answered a web-based questionnaire on tablets during school, once in fifth grade (T1) and once in sixth grade (T2). The results showed, after controlling for T1 moral disengagement, gender, and immigrant background, that students with better student-teacher relationship quality at T1 were more inclined to score lower on moral disengagement at T2, whereas students in classrooms with higher levels of collective moral disengagement at T1 were more inclined to score higher on moral disengagement at T2. In addition, both collective moral disengagement and authoritative teaching were found to moderate the associations between student-teacher relationship quality at T1 and moral disengagement at T2. These findings underscore the importance of fostering positive relationships between students and teachers, as well as minimizing collective moral disengagement in classrooms. These measures may prevent the potential escalation of moral disengagement in a negative direction.

Bridging cultures: the universal wisdom of aphorisms

This study explores the versatile nature of aphorisms, examining their linguistic structures, cultural implications, and pedagogical values across diverse languages and societies. Through literary analysis, comparative linguistic studies, and educational surveys, the research uncovers the inherent challenges in translating aphorisms while maintaining their stylistic and cultural essence. Findings reveal that aphorisms not only serve as concise expressions of universal truths and wisdom but also reflect the cultural values, norms, and philosophies of their respective societies. The investigation highlights the significant role of aphorisms in language learning and moral instruction, demonstrating their potential to foster cross-cultural understanding and linguistic appreciation. Aphorisms’ versatility as educational tools enhances learners’ engagement with language and culture, encouraging deeper reflection on ethical and philosophical issues. The study suggests future research directions, including the digital dissemination of aphorisms and their incorporation into artificial intelligence for language processing, underscoring their enduring relevance in a globalized and digitally connected world.

Оценка и типы ее репрезентации в хакасских пословицах и поговорках

Assessment holds a significant position in contemporary linguistic research. Nevertheless, the assessment category has not yet been specifically studied in the context of Khakass language paremic expressions. This study categorizes the different forms of assessment found in Khakass proverbs and sayings. A range of sources was used, including a collection of Khakass proverbs, sayings, a Khakass-Russian dictionary, folklore, and artistic texts. The analysis has demonstrated a substantial prevalence of proverbs and sayings carrying evaluative meanings of a private nature, encompassing ethical, aesthetic, mental-psychological, teleological, and utilitarian evaluations. Assessment is expressed as a desire for a certain norm, a pattern of behavior. By means of private assessments, a selection is made between concepts of good and evil, morality and immorality, and the like. Understanding the evaluative semantics of proverbs and sayings in the Khakass language contributes to a deeper understanding of the national characteristics of the ethnic group. The ethical negative assessment is predominantly conveyed in the proverbial fund of the Khakass language, taking the form of moral teachings and prohibitions. The distinctive characteristics of aesthetic assessment involve drawing figurative parallels between the beauty of a Khakass woman and the sun and the moon and recognizing the beauty of a man through his moral resilience. The assessments found in the Khakass paremiological fund encompass both universal and ethnocultural values that depict the Khakass worldview. The investigation of Khakass paremiology presents further opportunities to uncover the characteristics of normative meanings and their overall evaluative connotations.

Research Ethics in Publication

Moral teaching is the teaching of human good based on the dignity of each person as a human being, and ethics is a branch of philosophy that critically considers which actions are good or bad based on certain moral teachings. On the other hand, research is a series of processes to answer research questions. To determine the readiness of researchers to answer research questions in a sensible and understandable way, research design is crucial. However, publication is the final stage of research, where research results are written and communicated to the public. It has become a very valuable thing for researchers to understand their contribution in particular research. Research methodology, research process, and publication are the three main components of research ethics. Ethics related to research methodologies can include such things as the confidentiality of respondents' data, their desires and expectations to participate in research, and close relationships between researchers and respondents. Ethics relating to research processes also includes issues such as data falsification, fabrication, scientific freedom, integrity and transparency. However, problems related to the publication of research findings may include plagiarism and many submissions.

Parabolic Resonances in the Gospels and the Qurʾān

There are apparent similarities between the parables contained in the Gospels and those found in the Qurʾān, which provide their audiences with illustrations of complex religious concepts and moral teachings through the imagery of everyday life. Based on the form-critical analysis of the Gospel Parable of the Sower and some Qurʾānic parables, this article aims to detect defining similarities and differences between the Gospels and Sūrat al-Baqarah and illuminate details about the historical and geographic context in which the two texts originated. Based on the findings of the comparison, this article will argue that the Qurʾānic text represents a genuine continuation of the biblical text.

Human Rights: is the concept truly coherent with the Christian moral teaching?

The text explores the evolution of anthropological perspectives within Christianity, specifically focusing on the concept of rights. It traces the historical shift from a pre-modern emphasis on the social nature of humans to the emergence of individualistic anthropology in the 17th century. The tension between freedom and justice becomes a central theme, with human rights seen as a means of protecting individual autonomy from social coercion. The text explores the concept of personhood in Christianity, emphasising its central role in understanding the Trinitarian identity of God and its significance in Christology. It examines the classical definition of a person as an individual substance of reasonable nature, highlighting its limitations when applied to social aspects of human life. The author expresses scepticism about reconciling the concept of human rights with Christian anthropology, asserting that the rights-focused ethics is rooted in a non-Christian philosophical framework. The conclusion acknowledges the contemporary dominance of the rights-focused ethics but warns against the temptation to create a new "Christianity" compatible with this framework, urging a recognition of the anti-Christian nature of the ethical foundations of the modern Western society.
