Narasi Hadis Di Media Sosial: Adab Komunikasi Dalam Dakwah Gus Miftah Dan Pembentukan Otoritas Keagamaan
No full textStudi ini menyelidiki perdebatan tentang etika dakwah Gus Miftah, seorang ulama modern yang terkenal karena pendekatan inklusifnya. Gus Miftah menarik perhatian publik dan diapresiasi oleh banyak orang, khususnya generasi muda, karena dia berdakwah di tempat-tempat yang jarang dijamah ulama, seperti klub malam dan tempat hiburan. Meskipun demikian, popularitasnya tidak lepas dari perdebatan. Salah satu peristiwa yang menarik perhatian adalah percakapan Gus Miftah dengan seorang penjual es teh, di mana guyonan yang dia lontarkan dianggap kasar dan menimbulkan kontroversi di media sosial. Reaksi beragam terhadap kejadian tersebut. Ada yang membelanya sebagai tindakan spontan yang tidak perlu diperhatikan, dan ada yang mengecamnya karena dianggap tidak mencerminkan pendapat seorang ulama. Hadis tentang adab berkomunikasi digunakan sebagai dasar analisis dalam situasi ini. “Barang siapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhir, maka hendaklah ia berkata baik atau diam,”. menjadi landasan moral untuk menilai ucapan seorang tokoh agama. Media sosial memainkan peran yang signifikan dalam memperluas dampak insiden ini. Komunikasi cepat menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi sederhana dapat menjadi masalah besar, terutama ketika melibatkan orang publik. Dalam kasus ini, reputasi Gus Miftah sebagai ulama dipertanyakan, bahkan mengarah pada penurunan otoritas keagamaannya. Ulama lain, seperti Gus Iqdam, dianggap lebih baik dalam menerapkan prinsip adab berkomunikasi dibandingkan dengan Gus Miftah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan betapa pentingnya adab komunikasi bagi tokoh agama, terutama di era digital, di mana ucapan dan tindakan mereka dapat dilihat dan diperdebatkan dengan mudah. Hadis tentang adab komunikasi juga menciptakan otoritas keagamaan baru, yang menuntut ulama untuk lebih berhati-hati dalam menyampaikan pesat agar tetap relevan dan diterima masyarakat

Navigasi Moderasi Beragama Di Media Sosial: Studi Kasus Intoleransi Gen Z Di Platform Tiktok
No full textPenelitian ini mengkaji fenomena intoleransi agama di media sosial yang semakin marak terjadi di era digital. Intoleransi agama pada platform media sosial khususnya Tiktok telah menjadi isu krusial, mengingat tingginya jumlah pengguna platform khususnya Generasi Z yang berinteraksi secara global tanpa Batasan wilayah. Studi ini mengidentifikasi faktor penyebab utama Intoleransi agama, termasuk persepsi yang salah, stereotip, dan kurangnya pemahaman tentang pluralisme. Selain itu, moderasi beragama oleh platform media sosial dan peran regulasi pemerintah menjadi solusi yang penting dalam menanggulangi masalah ini. Penelitian menggunakan metode analisis literatur dan pendekatan studi kasus pada beberapa kejadian aktual untuk memperkaya pemahaman terkait masalah ini. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa selain upaya moderasi dari pihak platform, edukasi kepada masyarakat tentang keberagaman juga sangat diperlukan untuk menciptakan ekosistem media sosial yang inklusif. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi pada pengembangan kebijakan moderasi konten dan penyadaran publik terhadap pentingnya toleransi dan moderasi beragama dalam keberagaman interaksi digital
The Identities Podcast Episode 1: On Dread: Facing Futureless Futures
No full textIn this episode, Professor Nasar Meer speaks with Professor David Theo Goldberg, author of Dread: Facing Futureless Futures and Professor of Anthropology at University of California, Irvine, where he holds faculty appointments also in comparative literature, and criminology, law and society. David is the author of numerous other books and studies including The Racial State (2002) and Racist Culture: Philosophy and the Politics of Meaning (1993). His wider contribution to knowledge is simultaneously taken up in political theory, race and racism, ethics, critical theory, cultural studies, and increasingly, the digital humanities. Together with Dr Anjali Prabhu and Dr Aaron Winter, Nasar and David discuss the nature and implications of dread and analyze the politics of the world we inhabit today. Drawing on a published symposium in Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power, they delve into a conversation about the book’s politics of refusal and resistance and the social experience of dread
Geological history and fracture network characterization in unconventional reservoirs of the McArthur Basin (NT Australia)
No full textThe geological history of the McArthur Basin (NT Australia) is poorly understood. It consists of five onshore Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic packages with mainly siliciclastic and carbonate rocks, with cumulative thicknesses up to 15km. The basin contains the world’s oldest hydrocarbons, principally hosted in unconventional reservoirs in the Wilton Package. Fluid flow in these reservoirs is related to natural, reactivated or induced fractures. Characterizing the fracture network is an important part of predicting fluid flow. This study tries to link the geological history to the generation of fractures. The geological history needs to be better understood to characterize the fracture network. In this study seismic, well, outcrop and geophysical data are integrated to construct a cross section that links outcrops (Batten Fault Zone and Broadmere Complex) with the subsurface (Beetaloo Sub-basin). The literature in combination with the cross section is used to revise the geological history. A fieldwork is conducted to study fracture geometries on outcrops of the Wilton Package that are analogues to subsurface fracture networks. A drone is used to image fracture pavements at an order (102m) that is normally missed by geologists (101m) and satellite images (103m). The Tanumbirini-1 well, located in the sub-basin, provides a FMI log for interpreting fractures in the subsurface. A key objective is to differentiate fractures associated with fracture drivers like regional stress, folds and faults. This study identified two unconformities in the seismic data, corresponding to two deformation events. The Carpenteria Event between the Wilton Package and the Inacumba Group is associated with a dominantly N-S oriented stress field and the Borroloola Event within the Inacumba Group corresponds to a mainly E-W oriented stress field. Both events created their own fracture sets and are observed on outcrops and in the subsurface. The tectonic stress is σ1 at the surface but σH,max in the Beetaloo Sub-basin. Fracture generation in the sub-basin happened at another stress regime than the surface outcrop analogues, making any direct comparison less reliable. Hence this study gives a prediction of the fracture density and permeability trends in the sub-basin. A conceptual model of the subsurface permeability is proposed where the permeability trend is mainly E-W oriented.NT-WOR

A death foretold similarities between law and literature.
No full textThis paper will examine a number of critical issues concerning the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, fatally shot by armed anti terrorist police officers in London on 22nd July 2005. The author has eschewed the more traditional criminological methods of analysis and has adopted a more circumspect consideration using literature to question and disrupt official accounts of the event. The author draws on the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and in particular the novel ‘Chronicle of a Death Foretold’ the story of the murder of Santiago Nasar told some 27 years after the event. The fictional murder of Santiago Nasar is used as a template to examine the circumstances surrounding the death of Jean Charles de Menezes. An analogy is drawn between the two sets of men waiting to kill both protagonists as they leave their homes. By deconstructing both the fictional and legal discourses the author is able to consider the changing nature of perceptions over time and the impact this has on the literature of law and the law of literature
Impact of Expert Interviews in Software Engineering: Challenges and Benefits
No full textExpert interviews play a significant role in software engineering research and can improve the reliability and validity of developed software systems. This paper explores the challenges and benefits of conducting expert interviews in software engineering research by examining interviews with the experts from search and rescue organizations, conducted by the author. It is found from literature that expert interviews can enhance the reliability and validity of software development and the usability of the final product. However, challenges such as accessing experts, language and terminology differences, and ethical considerations must be considered. According to the author’s personal experience, virtual interviews are more efficient and discrete, whereas physical interviews provide more information about the software systems in use.publishedVersio
