    No full text
    This research is based on the need of Muslims for legal guidance that is responsive to the development of modern Islamic economics and finance. Fatwas have a strategic role in addressing contemporary issues, particularly in Indonesia through the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) as the authoritative institution in issuing fatwas. The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of the principle of maslahat as the main basis in the legal istinbath process carried out by DSN-MUI. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review of DSN-MUI fatwas as well as references to fiqh books and the principles of ushul fiqh. The results show that the principles of maslahat, such as ainama wujidati al-maslahatu fasamma hukmullahi, dar’u al-mafāsid muqaddam ‘alā jalb al-maṣāliḥ, and tasharruful imam ‘ala raiyatihi manutun bi al-maslahah, play an important role in adapting Sharia law to the dynamics of modern finance. In conclusion, the application of the principle of maslahat allows the DSN-MUI fatwa to remain contextual, flexible, and relevant without abandoning the basic principles of Islamic law

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    The Role of Bahtsul Masail in Improving the Understanding of Jurisprudence of Santri at Manbaul Hikam Islamic Boarding School in Burneh Bangkalan

    Discussion forums organized in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are one of the most effective means to support students’ understanding of scientific material in the yellow classical books (kitab kuning). Bahtsul masail is a typical religious discussion forum in the pesantren tradition, which is used to examine contemporary issues through a fiqih perspective. This research explores the role of bahtsul masail in improving the understanding of fikih among the santri of Pondok Pesantren Manbaul Hikam Burneh, Bangkalan. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, involving observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis as data collection techniques. The results show that bahtsul masail plays a significant role in deepening the fikih understanding of santri, especially in terms of the practical application of Islamic law. The intensive and collaborative discussions in bahtsul masail encourage santri to think critically and analytically on complex issues, which in turn strengthens their intellectual and religious skills. This study concludes that Bahtsul Masail is an important instrument in pesantren education that is effective in producing knowledgeable and insightful santri. This study gives implication that bahtsul masail as the main learning method that not only encourages the improvement of santri's knowledge in religious sciences, but also develops their skills in scientific and religious argumentation through interactive and collaborative discussions

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
