    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

    The Taking and Use of Dowry by the Bride's Parents: A Sociological and Islamic Legal Perspective

    Full text link
    One form of Islamic respect for women is the provision of a dowry, which is the wife's full property. Essentially, the dowry is an absolute right of the wife. However, in Padurungan Tanah Merah Village, Bangkalan, a predominantly Muslim village, a tradition still exists where the bride's parents take the gift in the form of money and may not use it for the wife. This prompted researchers to examine this issue in more depth using a juridical-empirical approach and qualitative methods using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study revealed three patterns of dowry use by parents: it is considered the full right of the parents, it is distributed to unmarried relatives, or it is used to cover wedding expenses. Sociologically, this practice is motivated by the belief that it is taboo for the bride to use the dowry, although this tradition has no basis and tends to be superstitious (tathoyur). Under Islamic law, this act constitutes the taking of another person's property, which requires the wife's consent (thibi nafsi)

    The Pakaan Dajah Village community in Madura has a tradition of inheritance distribution that deviates from the faraid system of Islamic law. In other words, this village has an inheritance distribution system that does not conform to the distribution of inheritance as outlined in Islamic law. This study examines the implementation of customary inheritance from the perspective of legal anthropology and Islamic law using a juridical-empirical and juridical-sociological approach through qualitative methods. Data were collected through literature studies, interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that inheritance distribution is carried out in two ways: during the testator's lifetime through a gift or will, and after the testator's death through deliberation and consensus among the heirs. This tradition tends to divide assets equally without distinction of gender, because men and women are considered to have equal value and roles in the family. This tradition is considered fairer and minimizes conflict, and is deeply rooted in society. Contextually, this inheritance practice can be justified because it is in line with the principle of deliberation and consensus in Islam and can be categorized as takharuj in Hanafi jurisprudence, although under certain conditions, the distribution can still be returned to the faroid system

    Full text link
    The adulterous child marriage that occurred in Sreseh District, Sampang presents a dilemma between normative rules that require a guardian judge and the practice of engineering marriage guardians for social interests, so this empirical legal research through literature study, interviews, observations, and documentation examines the hilah pattern, motivation, impact, and Islamic legal review. Thus, four patterns were identified: taukil biological father to guardian judge, contract in a closed place that was then announced, double contract by biological father and guardian judge, and unregistered marriage with taqlid Hanafi school or walimuhakkam. Engineering is driven by the desire to cover up shame, maintain social conduciveness, prevent the annulment of the marriage by the groom, and guarantee the validity of the contract, but has an impact on reducing household harmony to divorce. From the fiqh perspective, a marriage remains valid because the contract is ratified by a judge or by the school of thought followed, while the validity of manipulation depends on the harm: it is permitted if it prevents disturbances or anarchy, but is forbidden if it is solely for the benefit of the bride's family so that the marriage is not considered

    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

    Preventive Health and Islamic Family Values: The Role of Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine Immunization in Promoting Sakinah Families

    Full text link
    A harmonious family is a family that can maintain peace and is based on love (mawaddah) and affection (rahmah). One of the main purposes of marriage is to continue the lineage, maintain human dignity, and foster a quality generation. Tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccine immunization injections for prospective brides play an important role in maintaining the health of the mother and fetus from tetanus infection, which can cause disability and even death. Indirectly, tetanus toxoid vaccine immunization injections sociologically have an important correlation in forming a harmonious family. A harmonious family is not formed automatically, but is the result of various interrelated factors that are continuously maintained. The combination of religious values, psychosocial stability, health, economy, and social support greatly determines the success of forming a harmonious, loving, and compassionate family. This study uses a quantitative approach with a mixed methods method, namely a combination of numerical data analysis and qualitative exploration, in order to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon being studied. The main focus of this study is to examine the relationship between the implementation of TT vaccination injections and the formation of a harmonious family, accompanied by interviews and observations to explore the supporting factors that influence this correlatio

    Forced Marriage as Social Sanction: An Islamic Legal, Customary, and Human Rights Analysis in Rural Indonesia

    No full text
    This research aims to analyze the practice of forced marriage in Batobella Village from the perspectives of Islamic law, custom, and human rights, with a focus on the principles of consent, social control mechanisms, and legal implications. This study examines the interaction between customary norms, religious law, and positive law with a focus on the principles of legitimacy, social dynamics, and opportunities for policy intervention that align with the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. The research method employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing data collection techniques that include in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The informants consisted of traditional leaders, religious figures, victims, families, and youth. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify patterns and relationships between variables, integrating comparative fiqh perspectives across schools of thot with field findings. Research in Batobella Village shows that forced marriage practices still persist as a mechanism for resolving violations of customary norms, with decisions often made unilaterally by families and traditional leaders without considering the bride's consent. Social pressure, stigma, and the threat of exclusion make it difficult for victims to refuse. Most marriages are not registered at the KUA, which weakens their legal protection. The role of religious figures is often compromised in favor of custom for the sake of social cohesion. Although some young people are starting to reject this practice, their views are still in the minority and are hindered by the dominant customary authority in marriage decisions

    Determination Of The Amount Of Dowry At Lampung Traditional Marriage In A Review Of Fiqh Munakahat

    Full text link
    This article examines the determination of relatively high dowries (mahar/maskawin) in Lampung Melinting traditional marriages in East Lampung and their conformity with Islamic law and Indonesian marriage law. Using an empirical juridical approach, data were collected through interviews with traditional leaders, religious leaders, community figures, and married couples, supported by statutory and conceptual materials. The findings show that the amount and form of dowry are not fixed, but are negotiated through family deliberation, taking into account the groom’s economic capacity and the expectations of the bride’s family within local custom. A high dowry is perceived as a symbol of pride, social status, and the groom’s seriousness in building a household, but it may also trigger social pressure, land sales, and economic burden. From the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, there is no minimum or maximum standard of dowry as long as it is lawful, valuable, and agreed upon willingly. The study concludes that the Lampung Melinting practice of determining dowry reflects a dynamic interplay between religious norms, state law, and living custom, which needs continuous contextualization in modern society and justice
