Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma ve Yenilenebilir Enerji Arasındaki Bağlantı: Türkiye'den Ampirik Kanıtlar
No full textThis research article studies the sustainable development and renewable energy consumption nexus in Turkiye from 1980-2019 using the ARDL bounds testing approach. It has a unique identity since it uses the three elements of sustainable development: society, environment, and economic efficiency to assess the relationship. The result of the empirical analysis showed a one-way relationship from economic growth to the renewable energy consumption of Turkiye in the long run. Moreover, using renewable sources will decrease carbon emissions keeping a positive impact on the environmental aspect of sustainability in Turkiye. On the other hand, it is observed that as society improves in terms of MHDI, the need to utilize alternative energy sources reduces. The findings of this research would be crucial for the government, policymakers, researchers, etc., because this study is a fresh evidence in assessing the relationship of renewable energy consumption in Turkiye with sustainable development encompassing all the pillars (i.e., social, economic, and environmental) of it. The paper would also help address climate change, environmental pollution, quality of life, Turkiye's development sustainably, etc. This paper will also be an essential addition to the literature on Turkiye's sustainable development perspective. ?Bu makale, 1980-2019 dönemi için Türkiye'de yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin sürdürülebilir kalkınma ile ilişkisini ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımıyla incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Makale, sürdürülebilir kalkınmanın üç unsurunu (yani ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel yön) kullandığı bağlamda benzersiz bir kimliğe sahiptir. Ampirik analizin sonucu, uzun dönemde Türkiye'nin ekonomik büyümesinden yenilenebilir enerji tüketimine doğru tek yönlü bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, yenilenebilir kaynakların kullanılması, Türkiye'de sürdürülebilirliğin çevresel boyutu üzerinde olumlu bir etki yaratarak karbon emisyonlarını azaltacaktır. Öte yandan, toplum MHDI açısından geliştikçe alternatif enerji kaynaklarından yararlanma ihtiyacının azaldığı görülmektedir.. Bu araştırma, Türkiye'deki yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin sürdürülebilir kalkınma ile ilişkisini değerlendirmede yeni bir kanıttır; yani, sosyal, ekonomik ve çevresel tüm sütunları kapsar. Bu analizdan elde ettiği sonuçlar devlet, politika yapıcılar, araştırmacılar vb. için çok önemli olacaktır. Belge aynı zamanda iklim değişikliği, çevre kirliliği, yaşam kalitesi ve Türkiye'nin sürdürülebilir kalkınması vb. konuların ele alınmasında da yardımcı olacaktır. Aynı zamanda bu makale Türkiye'nin sürdürülebilir kalkınma perspektifi hakkındaki literatüre önemli bir katkı sağlayacaktır.
Movement Behaviour of Traditionally Managed Cattle in the Eastern Province of Zambia Captured Using Two-Dimensional Motion Sensors
No full textTwo-dimensional motion sensors use electronic accelerometers to record the lying, standing and walking activity of cattle. Movement behaviour data collected automatically using these sensors over prolonged periods of time could be of use to stakeholders making management and disease control decisions in rural sub-Saharan Africa leading to potential improvements in animal health and production. Motion sensors were used in this study with the aim of monitoring and quantifying the movement behaviour of traditionally managed Angoni cattle in Petauke District in the Eastern Province of Zambia. This study was designed to assess whether motion sensors were suitable for use on traditionally managed cattle in two veterinary camps in Petauke District in the Eastern Province of Zambia. In each veterinary camp, twenty cattle were selected for study. Each animal had a motion sensor placed on its hind leg to continuously measure and record its movement behaviour over a two week period. Analysing the sensor data using principal components analysis (PCA) revealed that the majority of variability in behaviour among studied cattle could be attributed to their behaviour at night and in the morning. The behaviour at night was markedly different between veterinary camps; while differences in the morning appeared to reflect varying behaviour across all animals. The study results validate the use of such motion sensors in the chosen setting and highlight the importance of appropriate data summarisation techniques to adequately describe and compare animal movement behaviours if association to other factors, such as location, breed or health status are to be assessed.</p
Challenges facing the development of Takaful industry in Bangladesh and Indonesia: A review
No full textTakaful is the Islamic version of insurance, and the size of global takaful industry is about USD$51 billion in 2019. Limited studies have been conducted on the development of takaful sector in Bangladesh and Indonesia using a comparative approach. As such, this review aims at investigating the challenges facing the development of takaful industry in these two countries. Primary sources such as laws and regulations, and the secondary sources such as scholarly articles and books on the subject matter were reviewed to derive conclusions. This review concludes that efficiency of takaful in both countries depend on some common factors, such as having a proper and sophisticated regulatory framework for takaful with the development of required talent pool while focusing on creating awareness and education to ensure that not only the general public have the required takaful literacy; but even the existing and potential customers have the basic knowledge about takaful. Further, it is also found in this review that in order to further develop the takaful industry in both countries, it is imperative to use innovation and technology to promote takaful parallel to the conventional insurance by creating a level playing field. This review also identifies some specific issues in both countries and have suggested recommendations accordingly. It is anticipated that the outcome of this review will assist policy makers and other stakeholders to understand the inhibitions facing the development of takaful industry in these two jurisdictions with hope that these challenges can be eliminated for the sustainable development of takaful sector.

Narasi teks suci tentang penciptaan: Studi komparatif Tafsir Ibnu Katsir dan Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur'an
No full textABSTRAK
Berbicara mengenai penciptaan dalam al-Qur’an, tidak jauh dari lafadz khalaqa dan ja’ala, yang memiliki arti menciptakan secara general. Kedua lafadz tersebut terlihat sama, tetapi akan berbeda makna ketika ditelaah lebih dalam lagi. Penelitian terdahulu lebih terfokus pada penafsiran khalaqa dan ja’ala secara masing-masing per-lafadz, tidak mengkomparasi diantara keduanya, padahal ketika ditelaah lebih lanjut kedua lafadz tersebut memiliki sinonim, tetapi berbeda dalam penggunaannya di dalam sebuah ayat. Penelitian ini menjadi menarik karena membahas perbedaan pemikiran antara lafadz khalaqa dan ja’ala dalam pemikiran Ibn Kaṡīr dan Sayyid Qutb.
Ada beberapa pertanyaan yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini diantaranya Bagaimana narasi teks suci tentang penciptaan dalam ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an dan Bagaimana Interpretasi narasi terkait penciptaan dalam Tafsir Ibn Kaṡīr dan Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur’an. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode library research dengan mengumpulkan data-data terkait, untuk membantu menyelesaikan penelitian ini. Sumber data primer dalam penelitian ini adalah penafsiran ayat al-Qur’an yang ditulis oleh Ibnu Kaṡīr yang berjudul Tafsir al-Qur’an al-Adzim dan Sayyid Qutb yang berjudul Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur’an.
Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa mengenai lafadz khalaqa dan ja’ala. Secara general, Sayyid Qutb dan Ibn Kaṡīr mempunyai penafsiran yang sama dalam memaknai khalaqa dan ja’ala dengan arti penciptaan. Secara spesifik, Sayyid Qutb dan Ibn Kaṡīr pun mempunyai satu arah yang sama dalam memaknai atau menafsirkan khalaqa, yakni mengartikan maksud “penciptaan” dari lafadz khalaqa adalah penciptaan yang bersumber dari Allah SWT. yang mana tiada bisa yang menandinginya. Hal yang sama juga pada lafadz ja’ala mempunyai makna menjadikan, membuat, atau menetapkan sesuatu menjadi sesuatu yang lain. Walaupun kedua tafsir tersebut memiliki latar belakang yang berbeda yakni, Tafsir Ibn Kaṡīr merupakan salah satu kitab klasik dan memiliki corak tafsir bi al-ma’ṡūr,. Sedangkan tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur’an salah satu kitab kontemporer dalam awal kepenulisan Sayyid Qutb yang menggunakan corak lughawi (seni dan sastra), tetapi keduanya memiliki hasil akhir penafsiran yang sama dalam penafsiran lafadz khalaqa dan ja’aala. Adanya latar belakang yang berbeda antara Ibn Kaṡīr dan Sayyid Qutb tidak membuat penafsiran keduanya berbeda.
ABSTRACT
When discussing creation in the Quran, it was not far from the words "khalaqa" and "ja'ala," which meant creating in a general sense. Both words seemed similar, but their meanings differed when examined more closely. Previous research focused more on the interpretation of "khalaqa" and "ja'ala" separately, without comparing the two, although when examined further, both words had synonyms but differed in their usage within a verse. This research became interesting because it discussed the differences in thought between "khalaqa" and "ja'ala" in the thinking of Ibn Kaṡīr and Sayyid Qutb.
Several questions were posed in this research, including: How does the narrative of the sacred text regarding creation in the verses of the Quran? And how is the interpretation of the narrative related to creation in the Tafsir of Ibn Kaṡīr and the Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur’an? To answer these questions, the author used a library research method by gathering related data to help complete this research. The primary data sources in this study were interpretations of Quranic verses written by Ibn Katsir titled Tafsir al-Qur’an al-Adzim and Sayyid Qutb titled Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur’an.
This research concluded that regarding the words "khalaqa" and "ja'ala," generally, Sayyid Qutb and Ibn Kaṡīr had the same interpretation in interpreting "khalaqa" and "ja'ala" with the meaning of creation. Specifically, Sayyid Qutb and Ibn Katsir also had the same direction in interpreting or explaining "khalaqa," which was to interpret the meaning of "creation" from the word "khalaqa" as a creation sourced from Allah SWT, which no one could rival. The same applied to the word "ja'ala," which meant making, creating, or establishing something into something else. Although these two interpretations had different backgrounds, namely, Ibn Kaṡīr's Tafsir being one of the classical books and having a pattern of bi al-ma’ṡūr interpretation, while Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur’an being one of Sayyid Qutb's early contemporary books using a linguistic pattern (arts and literature), they both had the same final interpretation of the words "khalaqa" and "ja'ala." The different backgrounds between Ibn Kaṡīr and Sayyid Qutb did not make their interpretations different.
مستخلص البحث
بحث عن الخلق في القرآن ليس ببعيد عن كلمتي "خلق وجعل" التي تحملان معنى الخلق بشكل عام. كلاهما متماثلين، لكن لهما معاني مختلفة عند فحصهما بشكل أعمق. وقد ركزت الأبحاث السابقة أكثر على تفسير خلق وجعل كل على حد، دون مقارنة بينهما، مع أنه عند التعمق في بحث معناه فإن اللفظتين مترادفتان، لكنهما يختلفان في استخدامهما في الآية. وهذا البحث مثير للاهتمام لأنه يناقش الاختلافات في الفكر بين لفظ خلق وجعل في أفكار ابن كثير وسيد قطب.
وهناك عدة أسئلة تطرح في هذا البحث منها كيفية رواية النص المقدس عن خلق في آيات القرآن وكيفية تفسير الرواية المتعلقة بالخلق في تفسير ابن كثير وتفسير في ظلال القرآن. للإجابة على هذا السؤال استخدم الباحثة منهج البحث مكتبي من خلال جمع البيانات ذات الصلة، للمساعدة في إنجاز هذا البحث. مصدر البيانات الأساسي في هذا البحث هو تفسير آيات القرآن الكريم التي كتبها ابن كثير بعنوان تفسير القرآن العظيم وسيد قطب بعنوان تفسير في ظلال القرآن.
ويخلص هذا البحث إلى ما يتعلق بلفظ خلق وجعل. وعلى العموم فإن سيد قطب وابن كثير لهم نفس التفسير في معنى خلق وجعل بمعنى الخلق. وعلى وجه التحديد، فإن سيد قطب وابن كثير أيضا لهما نفس الاتجاه في تفسير أو تفسير الخلق، وهو تفسير معنى "خلق" من كلمة خلق على أنها خلق مصدره الله سبحانه وتعالى. الذي لا يمكن لأحد أن يضاهيه . ونفس الشيء أيضًا في كلمة "جعل" له معنى صنع أو أدخل شيئًا في شيء آخر. وعلى الرغم من أن التفسيرين لهما خلفيات مختلفة، إلا أن التفسير ابن كثير هو كتاب كلاسيكي ويتمتع بخاصية التفسير بالمعطور. وفي الوقت نفسه، يعتبر تفسير في ظلال القرآن من الكتب المعاصرة في الكتابة المبكرة لسيد قطب الذي يستخدم أساليب اللغة والأدب، لكن كلاهما نفس التفسير النهائي في تفسير لفظ خلق وجعل. إن اختلاف الخلفيات في البحث بين ابن كثير وسيد قطب لا يجعل تفسيرا بينهما مختلفة
On Islamic Feminism: Feminist Interpretation of the Quran and the Fight for Gender Equality
No full textabstract: In this essay, I discuss Islamic feminism from the point of view of its proponents. By this, I hope to engage Muslims and traditionalists. Islamic feminism is the fight for gender equality, as a challenge to the way traditional Islam has perpetuated patriarchal power structures in the Muslim world. Today, feminist sentiment is on the rise in the Islamic world as more and more women are becoming engaged in this fight for gender equality. Islamic feminism reclaims the Quran as its justification and involves the struggle for gender equality grounded in this justification. I divulge into two linked claims: a normative one where gender equality is justified in Islam, and a descriptive one which posits that male domination over interpretive powers has distorted the way Islam has been practiced traditionally, thus placing women in a disadvantaged position. Islamic feminists, I have found, seek to reject the widespread patriarchal interpretation of the Quran by first, reinterpreting the Quran as an equalizing force, and then implementing Islamic feminism in the public sphere. I show that they do this by engaging politically and civically through activism, education, and political involvement — this I refer to as civic Islam, highlighting that public engagement is an inherent Islamic duty. For this end, I cite several countries — including Iran, Yemen, Tunisia — in which Islamic feminists have taken up the mantle as activists, and what their impact has been through brief case studies. In the end, I include my reflection on Islamic feminism as a college-educated Muslim woman having grown up in a Western, liberal society
