    Factors Affecting Transboundary Water Disputes: Nile, Indus, and Euphrates–Tigris River Basins

    No full text
    Transboundary water disputes arise as nations compete over shared water resources, exacerbated by climate change, socio-economic inequalities, and geopolitical tensions. These disputes, prominent in river basins like the Nile, Euphrates–Tigris, and Indus, threaten regional stability, water security, and ecological sustainability. This study investigates the drivers of such conflicts, evaluates the role of historical treaties, and examines the socio-economic and political dynamics, including hydro-hegemony and power imbalances, that influence governance. The research addresses the two following key questions: what factors drive transboundary water disputes, and what lessons from past conflicts and cooperation can guide future governance frameworks? Using a descriptive approach, the study critically analyses the literature and case studies to identify actionable insights. Specific objectives include analyzing drivers of conflict, assessing treaty efficacy, and deriving sustainable water-sharing strategies. Findings reveal that climate variability, population growth, and outdated agreements intensify challenges. In the Nile River Basin, Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) strains relations, while in the Indus Basin, the outdated Indus Waters Treaty struggles to address modern demands. Similarly, unilateral actions in the Euphrates–Tigris River Basin (ETRB) exacerbate socio-political instability. The study underscores the importance of inclusive governance, equitable treaties, and integrated strategies, such as integrated water resources management and climate adaptation, to balance ecological, socio-economic, and geopolitical priorities. Linking these efforts to the Sustainable Development Goals highlights their potential to transform conflict into opportunities for regional stability and shared prosperity

    IMAM AL-BUKHARI DAN LAFAL AL-QUR’AN

    Imam Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari is the author of the hadith book: al-Jâmi’ al-Shahîh, which is collecting the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and agreed by all Islamic scholars from its day to the present as the most valid and authentic reference book of the Muslims after al-Qur’an. Despite the prestigious position of the book and its author, al-Bukhari apparently got a big test and slanderahead his death. This was because of his thought of Qur’anic words. Al-Bukhari actually just said that word (reading) of al-Qur’an is including human actions, and human being and his deeds are created by God. This word was then concluded logically that Al-Bukhari stated al-Quran readings is creature by God. Sunni scholars, broadly divided into two schools of thought in questioning al-Quran words. Imam Ahmad, experts at hadith and the Hanabilah equated it’s verdict with the opinion of the Qur’an is creature. Meanwhile, al-Bukhari, Thabari, the sunni theologist, and some experts at hadis linked it with af’âlu al-’ibâd.<br /

    Model Development for Energy dissipation over Gabion Stepped Weirs using GEP and GMDH techniques

    No full text
    A Gabion stepped weir is a permeable weir that consists of a gabion box filled with stone aggregates. It is cost effective structure used for the dissipation of water flow energy from upstream to downstream. Gabion weir also allows the movement of aquatic life and transportation of physical and chemical substances present in water. In this study, energy dissipation in terms of inverse relative energy dissipation (IRED) over gabion stepped weir has been studied. It is observed that the existing predictor does not give a reasonable estimate for IRED. Therefore, the data have been reanalysed to develop a generalized regression equation for IRED. Generalized models using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) were also developed. The predictions based on GMDH model(R=0.979,E=0.96 and RMSE=0.314) were found more satisfactory than those given by traditional regression equations(R=0.929,E=0.91 and RMSE=0.557) as well as the GEP model(R=0.959,E=0.94 and RMSE=0.476).The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

    Plurality In Academic Tradition: The Case of Lecturers? Educational Background at the Graduate School Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta from 1982-2014

    No full text
    This book initially was a research which is completed and submitted to the Graduate School Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta, as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Islamic Education. The idea of the book originated primarily from a reality that diversity occurs in all educational levels. For the UIN cases, the phenomena of diversity can be noticed from its academic community; whether it comes from different social or religious organizations, educational background, cultural or ethnicity, countries or even religions. Hence, as a unique institution which produces a distinct tradition of Islamic studies, the UIN provide lecturers with different scholarly tradition; either graduated from the Eastern, Western or local universities. To that end, I performed a research and focused merely on lecturers? educational background to understand further how they dealt with differences, in particular concerning the impact on students? work. I presumed that lecturers struggled with internal conflicts since the background has different educational tradition. The Western, Eastern and local educational traditions have been explored further in this book chapter to help readers understand these different entities respectively. By exploring the notion of collaboration which closely related with conflict resolution, I ended up with a conclusion that the East-West tension nowadays have been melted, although not entirely. I argued that lecturers? collaboration not only can be traced through the intrapersonal or interpersonal aspects. The need to combined those two levels with an additional aspect, the epistemological dimension; become substantial. This statement can be verified since the epistemological dimension of lecturers? educational background becomes the basis on both side to work collaboratively. This general finding indicated that two salient factors that support the process of lecturers? collaboration, including their background as a pesantren graduates and their participation to promote the Indonesian Islam. By having a team-work, they construct the idea to promote the moderate culture amid academic community. With this finding, I reaffirm a general statement which declared the Graduate School UIN Jakarta as a smelting place. My hope that these findings will give a positive contribution on discussion toward research on East-West relationship, diversity and equity, lecturers? collaboration, and professional communities. In view of that, I realized that this research to some degree is a collaboration of so many people whom I cannot mention their names one by one proportionally in this acknowledgment.
