    Interpretation of Istitha'ah in Tafsir Al-Azhar and Its Relevance to the Implementation of Indonesian Hajj Pilgrimage During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    No full text
    This paper explains the meaning of istitha'ah in the interpretation of al-Azhar and its relevance to the implementation of the Indonesian pilgrimage during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is library research, using the research methodology of maudhu'I interpretation. The primary source in this research is the book of Tafsir Al-Azhar written by Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah and published by the Nurul Islam Foundation Jakarta in 1982. This study found that the meaning of istitha'ah in the interpretation of al-Azhar is the provision of piety, because according to Buya Hamka the best provision is piety to Allah SWT. Therefore, the author concludes that the concept of istitha'ah offered by Buya Hamka in the interpretation of al-Azhar seems irrelevant if it is applied to the implementation of the pilgrimage during the Covid-19 pandemic, because it is not in harmony with the concept of al-maqasid al-syariah which is centered on to the five benefits, especially the benefit of the soul of Hifzh an-nafs. In addition, Buya Hamka's experience when performing the hajj pilgrimage in 1927 is also impossible to apply at this time, considering the differences in legal rules. Theoretically, this research is expected to contribute to the development of Islamic studies, especially in the field of interpretation, while practically this research is expected to provide scientific explanations to the wider community regarding the problems of implementing the Indonesian Hajj during the Covid-19 pandemi

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    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

    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

    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

    Pemberian Fasilitas dan Hadiah (Gratifikasi) dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an dan Hadits

    No full text
    Fenomena pemberian fasilitas dan hadiah merupakan praktik yang sering ditemukan dalam kehidupan sosial dan kelembagaan. Dalam konteks hubungan pribadi, hadiah merupakan bentuk kebaikan yang dibolehkan dan bahkan dianjurkan oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW. Namun, ketika pemberian tersebut terkait dengan jabatan, kekuasaan, dan kewenangan, maka status hukumnya berubah menjadi tindakan yang rawan menimbulkan gratifikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji batas antara hadiah yang mubah dan hadiah yang haram dalam bentuk gratifikasi menurut perspektif Al-Qur’an dan hadis dengan titik fokus analisis pada QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 188. Ayat ini secara tegas melarang memakan harta dengan cara batil dan membawa suap (risywah) kepada pihak berwenang untuk memperoleh keuntungan tertentu. Selain itu, penelitian ini memperkuat analisis dengan hadis-hadis Nabi yang mengutuk perilaku penerimaan hadiah karena jabatan, seperti hadis tentang petugas zakat yang ditegur Rasulullah karena menerima pemberian dari masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode library research dengan pendekatan tematik, menelaah teks Al-Qur’an, hadis-hadis shahih, serta pendapat ulama klasik dan kontemporer mengenai etika amanah dan larangan risywah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Islam membedakan secara jelas antara hadiah yang tulus dengan hadiah kepentingan; segala bentuk pemberian yang memengaruhi keputusan, menimbulkan keberpihakan, atau memanfaatkan jabatan dikategorikan sebagai gratifikasi yang diharamkan. Dengan demikian, ajaran Islam melalui QS. Al-Baqarah:188 dan hadis-hadis terkait menegaskan bahwa menjaga amanah, integritas, dan keadilan merupakan prinsip utama dalam menolak praktik gratifikasi
