Beyond Banking: Revitalisasi Maqāṣid dalam Perbankan Syariah
Full text linkWhat is the core purpose of Islamic banking? Why is the existence of Islamic banking so important? It can not be denied, the answer of the crucial question about the purpose of establishing Islamic banking is still a fragmentary discussion.If studied more deeply, Islamic banking is an entity that has its own unique characteristics, especially when compared with conventional banking. Therefore, Islamic banking, both in theory and practice, should make paradigm shifts, especially in terms of performance measurement that is not only limited to financial parameters.This study aims to explore the extent to which the revitalization of the concept of maqāṣid in Islamic finance, especially banking. The result shows that the revitalization of the concept of maqāṣid defined by Muhammad Abu Zahrah and Abdul Majid Najjar can be used to measure the performance of sharia banking in a more measurable way.
Apakah sebenarnya tujuan inti dari perbankan syariah? Kenapa eksistensi perbankan syariah begitu penting? Tidak dapat dipungkiri, jawaban dari pertanyaan krusial mengenai tujuan pendirian perbankan syariah masih berupa diskusi sepotong-sepotong. Jika dikaji lebih dalam, perbankan syariah adalah entitas yang mempunyai karakteristik unik dan tersendiri, khususnya saat dibandingkan dengan perbankan konvensional. Oleh karena itu, perbankan syariah, baik secara teori maupun praktik, harus melakukan pergeseran paradigma (shifting paradigm), khususnya dalam hal pengukuran kinerja yang tidak hanya terbatas pada parameter keuangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri sejauh mana revitalisasi konsep maqāṣid dalam keuangan syariah, khususnya perbankan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa revitalisasi konsep maqāṣid Muhammad Abu Zahrah dan Abdul Majid Najjar dapat digunakan untuk melakukan pengukuran kinerja perbankan syariah secara lebih terukur.

Usury and The Hijrah from Ribā Movement in Indonesia: An Interpretative Phenomenological Inquiry
Full text linkDiscussions about usury often spark long debates, as well as raise ambivalence. There has been a lot of literature highlighting the dynamics of this issue with various emphases. With the growing discourse on the establishment of Islamic economics in Indonesia, the Hijrah from Ribā movement originating from the grassroots is interesting to observe. However, there is still little literature that explores their personal world of experiences. This study seeks to understand how Islamic economic activists view usury. Three informants from the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) Indonesia were selected for this study to be interviewed in a semi-structured manner. Interview transcripts were reviewed qualitatively using the IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) approach. Data analysis revealed five superordinate themes: (1) business as usual, (2) a turning point, (3) learning process and role of the MUI fatwa, (4) post-hijrah spiritual experience, and (5) creative action: beyond debate. The findings of this study demonstrate the complexity of the psycho-social economic dimension, which has been neglected and is often ignored in the realm of modern positivism culture, which assumes economic reality to be autonomous and deterministic. Some methodological notes were also put forward to provide another facet in the development of Islamic economics research
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
The Humanization of Accountability: A New Paradigm for Waqf Management
Full text linkThe practice of waqf accountability in general often places excessive emphasis on technical and financial measurements, thereby neglecting the humanitarian mission that constitutes the very essence of waqf institutions. This paper seeks to address that limitation by proposing the idea of a “humanization of waqf accountability”, an integrated framework grounded in the prophetic social thought of Kuntowijoyo. The framework rests upon three main pillars. First, active community participation, which positions beneficiaries not as passive recipients but as empowered subjects. Second, social justice, which redefines waqf as an instrument for inclusive and sustainable development rather than merely a charitable activity. Third, community well-being, regarded as the ultimate goal, is measured through holistic indicators of human dignity. By integrating these pillars, this comprehensive paradigm not only aligns waqf governance with its ethical foundations but also responds to contemporary challenges, such as the need for beneficiary-centered management and transparent reporting. In essence, this human-oriented approach provides a pathway for waqf institutions to enhance their social impact, build trust among stakeholders, and fulfill their mandate in realizing sustainable community development more effectively
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
