Legal Review of Ship Certification After the Issuance of Law Number 11 of 2020 Concerning Job Creation

This research examines the shift in authority and processes related to the certification of fishing vessels in Indonesia after the enactment of Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the legal force and implications of the transfer of authority from the Ministry of Transportation to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) in issuing fish vessel certifications. Using a normative juridical approach, this study investigates the procedural changes, challenges, and impacts of the new regulatory framework on fishing vessel safety and compliance. The findings show that the Job Creation Law simplifies licensing procedures while ensuring the safety and seaworthiness of fishing vessels. However, the study also highlights the challenges posed by a shortage of qualified inspectors, leading to delays in the certification process. This research underscores the need for regulatory adjustments and additional inspector training to align the maritime sector with the law’s goal of promoting safety and business efficiency.

How #Trad Catholics Challenge Current Constructions of Christian Nationalism: Counterknowledge, Masculinity, and Elite Aesthetics on Instagram

ABSTRACT I analyze traditionalist Catholic (or Trad) content on Instagram to add digital hyperconnectivity to current conversations about Christian nationalism in the United States. Building on studies of both epistemological and affective shifts in the age of digital hyperconnectivity, I argue that some pockets of right-wing Christian content are not anti-intellectual, but rather construct alternative knowledge bases to challenge mainstream authorities. This populist strategy of counterknowledge is mediatized in Trad Instagram, creating an epistemic community to counter those of the mainstream. The affordances of Instagram as a platform, characterized by its emphasis on visual content, brevity, and rapid consumption, have resulted in the decontextualized presentation of fragmented elements of Catholic philosophy and social teaching. This reconfiguration not only reshapes the public perception of Catholic thought but also fundamentally alters the grammar of public discourse. I draw on studies of affective polarization to argue that counterknowledge is not primarily about building a substantive alternative knowledge base, but rather about constructing an identity around the media image of an epistemic community under threat. The Trad aesthetic representation of intellectualism is distinctly gendered, presenting intellectual pursuit and reason as masculine virtues. I conclude by explaining how Trad Instagram contributes to and challenges current discourses on Christian nationalism by centering digital hyperconnectivity instead of a rationalist analysis of motivating beliefs, providing insights not only about shifts in authority and populism, but also moving beyond ideology to highlight aesthetic, affect, and the algorithmic curation of knowledge.

The Development of Qur’anic Thematic Exegesis in Indonesia: Historical Landscape and Shifts of Authority

Recognizing that thematic Qur'anic interpretation has become the most prominent method in the modern era, this study aims to track its evolution in Indonesia. Despite its popularity in academic contexts, there remains a critical gap in examining its application outside of universities. This study focuses on the shifts in interpretative authority and methodology in thematic Qur'anic exegesis across different sectors, including the state, Islamic boarding schools, universities, and individuals. Using a critical analysis method, the study uncovers several key findings. Firstly, there has been an authoritative shift, where Qur'anic commentators in Indonesia are not limited to traditional mufassir but now include scholars from non-religious fields. Secondly, methodological shifts are evident in several aspects: the editorial framing of interpretations, the reduction in the selection of Qur'anic verses used as primary research data, and the emergence of distinct interpretative tendencies. Additionally, there has been a paradigm shift in the relationship between Qur'anic text and social reality, where one approach begins with the Qur'an and leads to an idealistic-normative interpretation, while another starts from social reality and results in an applicative-solutive interpretation. This research fills a crucial academic gap by highlighting the broader changes in thematic exegesis, offering insights into its evolving methodologies and its relevance in addressing contemporary social realities in Indonesia.

From Shared RE to a Shared Digital RE Strategy: Navigating the Post-Digital Transformation of RE Organizations—Results of a Swiss Participatory Research Project

Religious adult education, characterized as non-formal religious education (RE) that has often been established over many decades, is frequently marked by patterns of institutional separation, local conditions and denominational divisions. This is also the case in Switzerland, where in each canton various church academies and RE organizations generally offer their respective programs along both denominational and cantonal lines. The increasing digitalization of society, and consequently of education, alters the original situation for these actors, both on an individual and organizational level. This article discusses the challenges of religious adult education in navigating the post-digital pivot. It addresses the issues of changing forms of teaching and learning, dealing with shifts in authority, and the growing need for collaboration and shared strategies among RE organizations in post-digital society. A participatory research project involving nearly 60 Swiss RE organizations investigated how these organizations are dealing with digitalization, analyzing the perspectives of the organizational leaders, the teachers, and learners through mixed methods. The findings provide insights into factors influencing the intent to offer or use digital RE courses, as well as factors contributing to the readiness to cooperate in the digital educational field.

Otoritas Pengetahuan Islam di Ruang Virtual: antara Inklusivisme dan Eksklusivisme bagi Pemustaka UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya

Islamic authority continues into the era of information technology development, the most striking thing is the shift in authority in the current era. Virtual space has become a connecting bridge and producer of religious knowledge for Muslims. Every Muslim is their own authority, Muslims produce their religious understanding on each of their social media accounts. The question is whether religion in virtual spaces has lost its prominence in religious knowledge, or has this virtual world become a platform for spreading inclusive teachings. This research uses qualitative methods, by taking field data and then processing it with several theoretical perspectives. The result of the study in this research is that the presence of virtual space has given rise to a new typology of Islamic authority within the academic scope of UIN Sunan Ampel, namely virtual world Islamic authority

Diskursus Kampung Restorative Justice Dan Eksistensi Peradilan Adat Di Provinsi Jambi

This research delves into the discourse related to village restorative justice and customary law in the Province of Jambi in the context of the diversity of authority shifts between modern legal approaches and existing legal traditions. The research background refers to conceptual differences and perspectives on dispute resolution between the state and customary law. To examine the relationship between the concept of restorative justice and customary justice, this study employs a qualitative approach by conducting in-depth interviews with representatives from the prosecution, community leaders, as well as traditional leaders in several restorative villages in the Province of Jambi. The literature review involves a profound understanding of restorative justice, customary justice, and the interaction between state law and customary law. The research findings highlight the conflicts and convergences between the restorative justice approach and the existence of customary justice. Conflicts arise in the interpretation of rights, obligations, and authority held by each system. However, this research also reveals the potential synergy between these two approaches in resolving disputes with a more holistic and contextual approach. The findings of this research indicate the importance of dialogue and collaboration between the state and customary law in developing initiatives such as village restorative justice. In the context of the Province of Jambi, wise integration of state and customary law can bring benefits for the preservation of cultural values as well as the fulfillment of individual and community rights.

Reperkusije petooktobarskih promena 2000. godine u svetlu dokumenata, memoara i svedočenja

Drawing upon documents, memoirs, testimonies, and scholarly literature, this study elucidates the dynamics underlying the October 5th alterations in 2000 within the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia. „The Fifth October“ refers to a sudden shift in political authority driven by compounded socio-political, economic, and societal tensions, alongside external influences. These multifaceted political and security upheavals, culminating on October 5, 2000, exhibited characteristics akin to a „colored revolution“, signifying a change in power dynamics without altering the prevailing political structure or formal power mechanisms. While temporal detachment affords a more impartial inquiry, the analysis contends with entrenched political narratives, oscillating between glorification and complete denial of the significance of October 5th.

Nikah Muda: The Hijrah Movement of Anti-Dating Communities from Progressive to Conservative in Indonesia (A Critical Study of Hadith)

The proliferation of hijrah groups among youth has had a significant impact, with positive outcomes such as enhanced religious understanding among teenagers and an increase in the adoption of more Islamic attire. However, this has also brought about negative consequences, including the dissemination of radical and textual interpretations, leading to conservatism. This article aims to uncover the controversy surrounding early marriage among Muslim millennials, driven by a tendency towards textual religious understanding. The research employs a qualitative method, drawing primary data from social media platforms of anti-dating millennial communities and online Islamic organizations in Indonesia. Secondary data were sourced from books, journals, and other relevant articles. The research findings indicate that controversy arises from the selection of hadith texts and differing interpretation methods. Anti-dating communities use motivational hadiths to support early marriage, employing a literal textual understanding related to sexual motivation, religious and individual piety, the vision of a happy family, emulation of the Prophet's marriage, and assurance of sustenance from Allah. Conversely, scholars use hadiths to reject early marriages with contextual understanding. The disregard of the youth for the views of scholars opposing early marriage indicates a shift in religious authority among Muslim millennials from traditional figures to influencers popular on social media. Early marriage reflects the hybridization of the religious identity of Muslim millennials, maintaining religious values while remaining trendy and cool. The re-reading of hadiths is conducted by examining the social-historical context and contemporary circumstances within the discourse of modernity.

The Use of Person Deixis as Shifts in Authority in Academic Writing: The Case of Students’ Acknowledgements in the Department of English Language and Literature, University of Maroua

This paper examines person deixis as shifts of authority in academic writing with focus on students’ acknowledgements in the Department of English Language and Literature, University of Maroua. It also looks at the role it plays in academic writing. This work stems from the fact that indexical expression of person plays an important role in the dissemination of information. It extends and gives further explanation where nonverbal communication is limited; thus becomes more effective. This work is of great value in language use in the sense that it shows how students use person deixis as shifts in authority in academic writing in their acknowledgements to show that they are the authors of these projects. This research uses a qualitative research design. This is because the researcher culled some messages from the acknowledgements of students of the Department of English Language and Literature from 2021-2023 academic year. Insight was drawn from Levinson’s (1983) theory of deixis. The findings indicated that one type of indexical expression; person was used for these reasons. First, to demonstrate that they are the authors of their dissertations. Second, to show gratitude to those who helped them in any way to complete their school projects.

Research Insights on Online Fatwas. A Comprehensive Systematic Literature Review

Current research on online fatwas has not been thematically identified into a single entity, so it is useful to have guidelines for responding to online fatwas spread across different media. The purpose of this study is to conduct a thematic analysis of scholarly publications related to online fatwas and formulate knowledge based on the classification of the findings. In this study, the author used a systematic literature review by selecting Scopus publications related to online fatwas from 2000 to 2022. The results of this study found that online fatwas research in Scopus can be classified into two forms, first, focusing on the issue of online fatwas and religious authorities. Second, online fatwas are a tool of social engineering. Research on online fatwas about religious authority concludes that there is a shift in religious authority in the digital era, the emergence of digital muftis, even the issue of mazhab, and the need for offline religious authorities to transform themselves by advocating fatwas online. The article on online fatwas, which focuses on fatwas as a tool for social manipulation, recommends three screening methods, namely evaluating the content, establishing criteria for the credibility of fatwas sites, and developing fatwas screening technology

The changing piety and spirituality: a new trend of Islamic Urbanism in Yogyakarta and Surakarta

This research appears to be focused on the growth of urban spiritualism among urban communities in major cities, as indicated by the proliferation of various Muslim congregation groups (majelis pengajian). The study examines four congregation groups in the cities of Yogyakarta and Surakarta: Muslim United and Teras Dakwah in Yogyakarta, Majelis Ar-Raudhah, and Majelis Busytanul Asyiqin in Surakarta. The research aims to understand how these groups disseminate moderate and easily accepted religious knowledge in urban communities and how they respond to the shifting dynamics of urban spirituality. This study argues that there is a shift in religious authority from well-known ustadz and habaib figures who promote popular forms of religious outreach to an increase in religious literacy among urban communities. The findings also reveal the presence of santrinisasi and acts of piety among urban communities as a manifestation of the truth of religious teachings

From Communal to Individual: Shifting Authorities of Family Dispute Resolution in Minangkabau Society

This study aims to explain the shift of authority in resolving family disputes in Minangkabau society. At least three authorities are involved in resolving family issues in Minangkabau: religious authority, represented by leaders with religious knowledge; customary authority, held by leaders with their own laws; and state authority, enforced by judges in court based on laws and regulations. This research is a field study with a socio-legal approach. The study examined Minangkabau households in both rural and urban areas, utilizing questionnaires and in-depth interviews to collect data from individuals involved in household disputes. The data were then reduced, presented and verified. This study found that in addition to using the three long-standing authorities in Minangkabau society, disputants are more likely to use individual authority in resolving their family disputes. The disputants are more likely to resolve their family problems independently without involving religious leaders, customary leaders, or religious court judges. The tendency towards individual authority is more prevalent in urban communities. The strengthening of individual authority coincides with the weakening of the formal institutions of the three authorities in Minangkabau society. The factors contributing to the diminishment of these authorities include modernisation, technological advancements, and digitalisation which incentivises the involved parties to logically settle their disputes for their individual gains and aspirations. Based on the research findings, the current study confirms that the shift in family dispute resolution authority indicates that there has been a shift from extended to core family patterns in Minangkabau society

Wild polar bear conservation: A case of successful arctic science diplomacy?

As poster child for the climate crisis and symbol of the circumpolar North, the polar bear has received considerable public and scholarly attention in recent years. A review of academic research on polar bear politics shows that many texts share a positive frame of polar bear conservation as a successful example of Arctic science diplomacy. Despite making such substantive claims, authors fail by and large to explain their reasoning or provide evidence of this success, aside from references to the 1973 Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears. This article hence evaluates the claim that polar bear conservation constitutes a successful case of Arctic science diplomacy. To do so, the paper establishes a set of success criteria for Arctic science diplomacy. Based on an analysis of policy, governmental, and scientific documents and interviews on polar bear management and conservation, the paper identifies two periods of polar bear science diplomacy, evaluating each based on the success criteria developed in this paper. The first period (1960–90s) is defined by traditional threats to polar bears that are addressed through successful Arctic science diplomacy. Though the second period (1990s-present) also features elements of successful science diplomacy, Arctic scientists and diplomats are unable to effectively address the now dominant threat of climate change, shifting authority away from the Arctic and towards the international realm of climate change research and politics. As the climate crisis continues to outrank and amplify traditional threats to ecosystems around the globe, the article argues that this shift in epistemic and diplomatic authority may be indicative of a fate awaiting other specialized science diplomacy communities worldwide.

Remember Me: Vocal Cadenzas as Mementos in Nineteenth-Century Musical Autograph Albums

Abstract Between the 1830s and the 1880s, leading female singers such as Henriette Rossi Sontag, Laure Cinti-Damoreau, Adelina Patti, and Pauline Viardot participated in a widespread custom of inscribing original vocal cadenzas in autograph albums (also known as friendship albums, keepsake albums, alba amicorum, or Stammbücher). The appeal of album cadenzas, along with other compact inscriptions, reflects a wider Romantic fascination with remembering through small keepsakes such as miniature almanacs and annual compilations of poetry, prose, or music. Whether improvised in the presence of collectors or offered as souvenirs of earlier performances, cadenzas functioned as mementos of musical and social encounters while visually representing singers’ musical personae through performative gestures. These florid pieces also allowed female singers to exercise agency as both creative artists and curators of their public images, much like the (mostly male) composers whose musical signatures fill surrounding album leaves. As performance-practical sources, vocal cadenzas preserve rare and revealing traces of singers’ artistry; many, in fact, can be linked to specific concerts or performances of operas by Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, Rossini, Verdi, and others. In the case of Cinti-Damoreau, such music illuminates the connection between improvisation, performance, and pedagogy. The gradual disappearance of album cadenzas during the last quarter of the nineteenth century is attributable not only to a waning interest in musical improvisation generally, but also to a shift in creative authority away from singers and toward composers, particularly in the operatic realm.

Urban Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law: Historical Perspectives and Contemporary Challenges

AbstractThe 21st century may safely be called the ‘urban era’. The year 2007 marked the moment when for the first time in modern history, over 50% of the world’s population lived in urban areas. By the year 2050 almost 70% of humanity is projected to be urban, i.e., a human settlement with usually a high population density and an infrastructure of built environment. While the role of large cities, metropolitan areas and urban regions has been increasing, the political domain of the states, of which these cities or regions constitutionally form part, seems to be continuously shrinking. And although the rise of the urban is unlikely to lead to the disappearance of the sovereign-state model, the idea of states as having final authority is seriously challenged. This is caused by at least two simultaneously occurring trends: the transfer of tasks and responsibilities upwards, to the international and supranational level, through processes of globalization and a development downwards, to the local and regional level (or even the neighborhood or district), through processes of decentralization and regionalization. These combined trends have been called glocalization, a process exemplary for the complexity of modern society, in which authority shifts from hierarchy to networks, and the autonomy and unity of the central and sovereign state are under pressure. This special issue is the fruit of a workshop organized at Tilburg Law School on 25 November 2022, dedicated to the exploration of several constitutional and rule of law challenges posed by what we have dubbed urban constitutionalism.

Authority Sharing Between The Central and Regional Government in The Implementation of Pesantrens Law and Its Relevance to Hifdz Ad-Dîn Efforts

This study aims to examine the shift/sharing of authority between the Central and Regional Governments in the religious field, particularly regarding the implementation of Law Number 18 of 2019 concerning Pesantren. The Law provides a portion of authority to the Regional Government to facilitate Pesantrens in carrying out its functions as one of the centers for the development of Islamic religious knowledge. The Law also obliges the local Government to fund the Pesantrens through regional revenue and expenditure budgets by their authority and guided by statutory provisions. This study uses a normative juridical method. The results of this research conclude that the existence of the Pesantrens Law, on the one hand, shows that the Government has concern for efforts to maintain religion (Hifdz ad-Dîn); and, on the other hand, indicating that there has been a shift in authority from the Central to the Regional Government in governing of religion, particularly in terms of administering Pesantrens,

MINING BUSINEES LICENSING IN INDONESIA: PERSPECTIVE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AFTER THE REVISION OF THE MINERAL AND COAL LAW

The regulation of mining business licenses (IUP) has experienced dynamics. In Law No. 4 of 2009 on Mineral and Coal Mining (Minerba Law), the central and regional governments exercise the licensing authority proportionally. Then, in 2020, the head of mining licenses was changed again through Law No. 3 of 2020. Based on this law, the licensing authority is fully vested in the central government. This shift in licensing authority is interesting to study. The study departs from the questions: (a) how are the boundaries of legal and illegal mining businesses in Indonesia; (b) how are the procedures and requirements for obtaining an IUP from an administrative law perspective; (c) how are the sanction arrangements for illegal mining business actors after the revision of the Minerba Law. This study departs from the use of normative legal research methods with a statutory approach and conceptual approach. Finally, the study results reveal that the basic principle underlying the management of natural resources, especially mineral resources, is the licensing instrument. Licensing, which is included in the administrative law regime, requires the state to intervene actively in matters concerning public welfare. Through licensing, the government can control or at least reduce the rate of pollution and environmental damage due to mining activities. In ensuring that efforts to regulate mining activities by the government-run as they should, sanctions are set to provide law enforcement, which is the form of administrative and criminal sanctions.

Creating the executive budget process: What was Congress thinking?

AbstractThe recent centennial of the 1921 Budget and Accounting Act presents an opportunity to reconsider the importance of the federal executive budget to American political development. Of particular interest is the apparent shift in political authority from Congress to the president that is sometimes attributed to the Act. The 1921 Act generally marks the rise of the modern presidency, where the president received a durable grant of authority. We examine the congressional hearings and debates regarding the budget process from 1919 to 1921 to assess Congress's expectations of the new budget system it was creating. We show that Congress expected to benefit from the executive budget process and did not view it as a threat to its budget authority. Congress recognized that the executive branch had influence in the budget process, but it preferred presidential influence to department heads’ influence. The 1921 Act, at least initially, enhanced the budgeting capacities of both the president and Congress in mutually beneficial ways.

Mainstreaming Religious Moderation in the Digital Space: An Examination of Islami.co Web Portal in the Perspective of Jürgen Habermas’ Communicative Rationality

The development of popular Islamic media in the digital era, associated with an authority shift from traditional to popular religion, has enhanced peoples’ ways of thinking. Ironically, conservative and radical Islamic models have dominated the digital space. Therefore, in response to this phenomenon, this research examines how the mainstreaming strategy of religious moderation is carried out by moderate groups, specifically a non-affiliated Islamic portal called Islami.co, with the tagline “Enlightening and Friendly Islamic Media.” This research also analyzed articles, concepts, and perspectives to determine whether they are in the moderate category using the Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative rationality. Furthermore, the essays in the islami.co were analyzed according to three kinds of validity claims, namely truth, accuracy, and honesty. This study concluded that mainstreaming religious moderation through this islami.co’s media significantly impacts the community as a filter from news content or thoughts that do not reflect the Islamic value of mercy to all mankind. Islami.co’s writers continuously endeavor to test conservative-radical Islamic narratives that develop in a society with logical (aqli) and religious (naqli) arguments presented with brief and uncomplicated explanations. The strategy of popular Islamic portals such as islami.co is quite acceptable to middle-class Muslims, as often preached by the fundamentalist groups. Therefore, it is very appropriate to direct islami.co’s target audience to readers from the general public. Keywords: Religious moderation, digital space, Islami.co, communicative rationality, religious authority.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES AND THE RELATING STATUTES

The Internet is a massive computer complex that has caused millions of deaths and served both as a force of protection and destruction. As all coins have two faces, another hand of Internet is that it had overwhelmed the population by making them authentic to such a base, and multitudinous fake malefactors were in control of the situation on a single face where everything from shopping to cooking to watching live sports events was made easier. In addition, a social networking community is a community which connects or adjoins one people or community with another people or community around the globe whose health and backgrounds are insolvable to distinguish. A healthy app like Facebook or LinkedIn allows a person to produce a particular runner that adjoins them to their given family or musketeers or like- inclined individualities and allows them to feel happy and proud. Advanced sweats to limit the internet usage for order and connecting on a following, ethical, educational, safety, and fresh base have redounded from the shocking shift in gregarious authority. These events have redounded in legal and limited sweats to reduce the pitfalls associated with this new normal, which include fraud, pornography, hacking, and hacking while druggies are alone, thinker property, public security, and stoner time alone. In this setting, the current exploration trouble is free to probe the use of social community networking websites and cyber security regulations in an applicable manner. In the present exploration bid, 100 repliers (scholars at universities in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India) who constantly use collaborative media gear for winning performance of their day- to- day lives were the subject of exploratory and regular cave into slant for data compendium and psychoanalysis. The views of the repliers were statistically anatomized using SPSS's One- Way ANOVA, and the issues redounded in a negative response to the null thesis and a positive response to the alternate thesis, which states that- H1- There's a significant association between the use of social networking spots and legal violations. The current study can be attributed to some of the well- known cases that made captions. The purpose of this study was to establish a link between the position of the collaborative medium and the specifics or reason for the prevalence in exaggerated statutory businesses.
