Social Capital: The Crucial Link for Optimizing the Impact of Human Capital |
Author : Arpie G. Balian |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This is a qualitative case study that explores how social capital optimizes the power of human capital in enhancing government performance and realizing broader goals and objectives that benefit an entire country. Through the analysis of data pertaining to the Republic of Armenia, the study explores approaches to growing social capital to boost the power of human capital in the government. As such, the research reveals that several work dynamics contribute to growing social capital, among which reciprocal collaboration, idea exchanges, and socialization; shared values of mutual trust and respect among staff; enabling environment of learning, openness, and healthy competition; sense of ownership, teamwork, and team performance rewards; sense of belonging and regard for national goals across units of government; and elimination of political favoritisms among staff. Though many of these notions are discussed in separate works by social science theorists, this qualitative research bundles multiple strategies in a comprehensive discussion of building social capital within and among units of government that would measurably amplify human capacity and performance for the public good. |

Author : Dedy Setiawan, Bahtera Sembiring |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Undergraduate students in Indonesia, including those pursuing bachelors degrees and diploma programs that may last three or four years, must take a research methodology course. Despite their lack of desire to become researchers, they must complete a final project that necessitates research skills. Students who complete the Course in one semester learn how to write a proposal, collect data, analyze data, and perform other tasks that a professional researcher would typically perform. Some lecturers who teach research methodology course in various study programs were interviewed. The present research uncovers how research methodology courses were presented and implemented. A variety of implementations were found, but most of them apply the use of assignments as an alternative to the learning by doing approach. A different number of credit points were also found in different study programs, impacting the number of sessions the students must spend. The methodology course comes in different nomenclatures in different study programs. They share a common goal: to help students conduct a final assignment as a requirement to graduate from their educational institution. Some suggestions on how to improve the Course are also expressed. |

A Lowdown on Gender-Lag in the Moroccan Society: The Road Ahead |
Author : Dr. Najib Slimani |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Womens social and political rights have invariably been a focal point of discussion and debate in academic and political encounters. Currently, the issue of womens rights, far from being a third-rail issue, is an extremely contested, top-agenda matter both within and across countries. Focusing on Morocco, women continue to be marginalized in many facets of society despite the efforts that have been made so far. The slow-paced involvement of women in political life remains an issue that tarnishes the kingdoms proclaimed ambition to be a haven for gender equity. In spite of the legal reforms, namely the Mudawana or family code, gender inequality and sexism persist in stark disregard of the internationally acknowledged rights of women. Although it is clearly stated in the Moroccan constitution that men and women are guaranteed equal rights, Moroccan women continue to face obstacles and societal discrimination on a daily basis. Thus, an equity-oriented mobilization needs to be undertaken so that women would distance themselves from the absolute implications of traditional societal norms cloistering them to inferior social roles. Within this vein, this paper seeks to sift what follows: (1) how constitutional laws in Morocco are thwarted by deeply-rooted societal norms and practices that underestimate womens potential, (2) how representation of women in politics can be an authentic indicator of overall development and modernization, and (3) how Moroccan womens participation in political life can enhance the kingdoms global image and boost its capacity to play a larger role on the regional and international scenes. Using a content-based approach, this investigation reveals that empowering Moroccan women is a strenuous endeavor that calls for the keen involvement of different social and political actors, namely the Ivy League ones, in order to allot women their stakes as real asset-holders in sustaining multi-layered national development. |

Author : Uut Rahayuningsih, S.H, Prof. Dr. Pujiyono, S.H., M. Hum |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Law enforcement is a must carried out by the state in accordance with the aim of protecting and justice for its citizens, as stated in the 5th precept Social justice for all Indonesian people. Efforts to implement crime prevention do not necessarily only use penal efforts, there are also non-penal efforts. This penal effort will be closely related to the criminal justice system. As for this study, the method used is normative juridical. With the data collection method using literature studies. The analysis used is qualitative descriptive. The implementation of an independent and integrated criminal justice system is currently not running optimally because currently its structural institutions have not been integrated in the concept of functions and supervision of criminal justice system management because there are still institutions under the executive power of the government. So, in certain contexts it is feared that the influence of executive power shakes the integrity of the institution. So, there is still no firmness between the differences between legislative, executive, and judicial functions. The criminal justice system has also not been systemically realized, and is still fragmentary and compartmentalized, which creates rivalry between sub-systems which leads to an independent and integrated criminal justice system. Synchronization in the fields of substance, structural and legal culture is also a support for the success of an independent and integrated criminal justice system. As for building a good and authoritative criminal law enforcement system, law enforcement human resources who are reliable and mentally tough and have a complete understanding of the law are needed. For this reason, it is necessary to strive to increase education and knowledge for law enforcers, namely knowledge of legal science and the science of the Supreme Godhead. |

A Comparative Analysis on Two Main Approaches to Promote Gender Diversity in the Boardroom Worldwide |
Author : Zhe WANG, PhD |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In recent decades, the position of females in the boardroom has received increasing attention worldwide. It is argued that improving gender diversity in the boardroom as female directors can benefit corporate management in many ways. On the one hand, they have distinct characteristics which could make up for the shortcomings of male directors. On the other hand, females show different governance behaviours, and they can bring new ideas to corporate boards. In order to respond to social concern about gender equality in the boardroom and to encourage more females to contribute to corporate management, countries across the world have taken measures to improve the proportion of female directors on corporate boards in recent years. Worldwide, two main approaches can be seen. Some countries impose quota laws to promote gender diversity in the boardroom, while others adopt a voluntary approach. This essay will discuss development of both the quota approach and the voluntary approach and will then analyse their advantages and disadvantages, in order to illustrate their influence on improving gender diversity in the boardroom and to come up with some solutions for addressing the shortcomings of these approaches. Female directors are expected to have more opportunities to contribute professionally and meaningfully to corporate governance. |

Author : Sardar Naeem Hakimzai |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The mismatch of education, especially over-education, leads to inefficient allocation of scarce resources and becomes a public policy problem. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of educational-job mismatch on firm productivity. For this, we used a panel dataset for the period 2010-2016 obtained from the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) of Afghanistan, the World Bank database, and the Ministry of Labor and social welfare. Methodologically, we aggregated at the company level using the ORU (Overeducation, Required Education. and Undereducation) criteria. We also applied the OLS model, a fixed effects model, and a GMM estimator for dynamic systems. We investigate the significantly positive impact of university-level demands on company productivity while attempting to control for simultaneity concerns, unobserved work values that do not change over time, peer group consequences, and the interplay of the production process of adjustment; additional or longer periods of over-education or over-skilling (for younger as well as older workers) are detrimental to company productivity; additional years of under-education and under-skilling (for young employees) are not good (bad) for enterprises productivity. Governments should use greater levels of education and over-education of young and elderly employees as a policy instrument to boost productivity. The Generalized method of moments (GMM) approach is used in this work, which adds to the Afghan literature. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Spirituality was synonymous with a holistic form that includes a set of individual opinions or values that form some kind of meaning and union with oneself, people, nature, and the world at large. Perhaps spirituality can be seen with or without religion. Healers have claimed that talking with their clients about spirituality is a more popular topic, at least in English-speaking countries. As far as the literature is concerned, this is indeed a hot topic for discussion about the true meaning of spirituality and how it aligns with paradigms of occupational therapy practice.

Revisiting Gandhis Philosophy: A Quest for Global Peace |
Author : Prof. Alok Chansoria |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :More than three dozen conflicts are presently ongoing throughout the world. Of these, six have been converted into major wars, viz.: Yemeni Civil War, Mexican Drug War, Afghanistan Conflict, Myanmar Conflict, Ethiopian Civil War and the Russia-Ukraine War. Innocent citizens of these countries, including women and children, are being brutally killed in these conflicts. War leads to disaster. And after the holocaust one tends to preserve what is left behind and creates, once again, what has been destroyed. Ultimately, the end sufferers of the war going countries are its guiltless citizens. Solution to the above-mentioned violent conflicts lies in the Gandhian philosophy based on its four major principles, viz.: satya (truth), ahimsa (non-violence), satyagraha and sarvodaya. There is little scope for greed, lie, hatred, and urge for power, violence and possessiveness in Gandhian philosophy. After all when shall man realize that he is not immortal. Man has to realize that the mentality for more than required material possessiveness is the root cause of poverty and starvation. Wealth earned throughout life cannot be carried after death. The aforesaid chaos and conflict, which the world faces today is because man is running blindly in quest for the attainment of material gains and for the acquisition of absolute power. This selfish quest for money and power attracts jealousy and hatred from all corners ultimately resulting into grievous conflicts. And, therefore, Gandhi propagated in favour of non-possessiveness and detachment from material things. The world has had enough of bloodshed for the establishment of a so called just order, i.e., based on freedom and democracy, especially after the II World War. It is high time these conflicting countries realize that peace is indivisible and so is freedom and both together co-exist and are indivisible too. |

Kurdish and Persian: Dialects or Separate Languages? |
Author : Mohammed Khalid Mahmood, Ali Qadir Hama Rash, Mohammed Amin Qadir Hama Rash, Saeed Khalid Mahmood, Hüseyin Güler |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Although it is not quietly supported nowadays, some linguistics and orientalists believed proposed that due to the large resemblance between the two and somehow mutual ineligibility, Kurdish is a dialect of Persian. The objective of this paper was to answer this hypothesis from a lexical point of view. Lexical Similarity measures the similarity and or difference between a set of words from any given two languages. Despite the abundance of lexical similarity coefficients between various world languages in the literature, there are no available data on Kurdish and Persian, even though many Kurdish natives learn Persian as a second language. Our results showed (51.5 %) lexical similarity between Persian and Kurdish by using the Leipzig-Jakarta list. This result shows close proximity and common genetic roots between these two languages. However, it is not high enough to claim a dialect relation between the two; like, for example, 85% similarity index between Catalan and Spanish. Hence, this outcome, in a lexical point of view, is against the hypothesis of Kurdish is a dialect of Persian. |

Kurdish and Persian: Dialects or Separate Languages? |
Author : Mohammed Khalid Mahmood, Ali Qadir Hama Rash, Mohammed Amin Qadir Hama Rash, Saeed Khalid Mahmood, Hüseyin Güler |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Although it is not quietly supported nowadays, some linguistics and orientalists believed/proposed that due to the large resemblance between the two and somehow mutual ineligibility, Kurdish is a dialect of Persian. The objective of this paper was to answer this hypothesis from a lexical point of view. Lexical Similarity measures the similarity and or difference between a set of words from any given two languages. Despite the abundance of lexical similarity coefficients between various world languages in the literature, there are no available data on Kurdish and Persian, even though many Kurdish natives learn Persian as a second language. Our results showed (51.5 %) lexical similarity between Persian and Kurdish by using the Leipzig-Jakarta list. This result shows close proximity and common genetic roots between these two languages. However, it is not high enough to claim a dialect relation between the two; like, for example, 85% similarity index between Catalan and Spanish. Hence, this outcome, in a lexical point of view, is against the hypothesis of ‘Kurdish is a dialect of Persian. |

Author : Erick Caballero |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Educational abandonment has become for many years a social problem that affects Latin American students. Consequently, several nations, including Ecuador, focus their efforts on mitigating this problem. The research about the educational abandonment of students with special needs aims to identify why 11 students did not continue studying. The sample was part of six public and private schools in Portoviejo. The school was selected due to the high number of students with special needs enrolled in the last school year. For achieving this qualitatively oriented study, semi-structured interviews were applied as a data collection technique, and the case study research method was implemented. Among the results found in the study sample, three factors of educational abandonment stand out. One of them was the socioeconomic situation, which takes precedence over the educational quality that the student could receive regardless of the type of educational institution of which he is a part. The other one was the educational environment stands out, which mainly alludes to the teachers preparation regarding the methodological adaptations that students with disabilities require to consolidate their learning. Finally, the family factor emphasizes the lack of responsibility of parents towards their children, such as limiting their right to education. This type of research is especially relevant due to the little literature about this vulnerable group, which will allow future explorations to be carried out that seek to enforce their rights. |

Deconstructing Imperialism in English Language Teaching with Alter-Globalization Community in Education |
Author : Kate Efron, Lynsey Mori |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The positioning of the English language as the worlds lingua franca has led to the prioritization of an English monolingual ideology, which has, over the years, promoted the English language as a product to be manufactured, sold, and continuously promoted in capitalistic spaces and neoliberal markets as a tool of upward mobility. This paper presents a university teacher-educator project that is continuing to implement an alter-globalized framework in language education. The project focuses on utilizing translingual practices to create more context-based and liberating learning environments for students and teachers, with a recognition of how these practices can empower people beyond schooling. The paper maintains that by shifting away from globalized perspectives rooted in imperialism in language education, the English language can be repositioned as one tool among many for international cross-cultural communication. |

Author : Kouassi Yao Frederic |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Suburban and peripheral villages of big cities are undergoing deep changes related to urban pressure. Actors, issues, challenges as well as conflicts of land use are more and more numerous and influence the modes of governance of these rural territories. These changes raise the problem of competence of each actor in the management of evolution dynamics of peripheral rural spaces in a context marked by permanent encroachment of urban on rural. This study focuses on rural governance in Bingerville, one of the most affected sub-prefectures by Abidjans spatial dynamics. It examines rural governance modes confronted with urbanization. How are economic and social development strategies implemented in villages considering morphological, social and functional changes that are taking place? The data collection methodology is based on documentary research and field surveys (observation, interviews and inquiry through questions). Observation has been necessary for estimating intensity of co-production of landscape by different actors. Interviews and inquiry through questions shed light on the modes of governance as known, settled and experienced by stakeholders. Results highlight two essential aspects:
- Local political system and rural territorys actors
- the various modes of governance linked to the games and stakes of actors involved.
Customary governance is based on a political system made up of generations with a rotating power time. Cornerstone of local system, the chiefdom, while striving to maintain a certain pre-eminence, choose all the time traditional and patrimonial governance. The State and local authorities choose a participatory approach involving village communities, private companies, families and individuals having interests in defined areas. The current peri-urban landscape thus has the mark of this everlasting conflicting combination. |

Impeachment Procedures in Nigeria and the United States of America: A Comparative Analysis |
Author : Enobong Mbang Akpambang, Ph.D, Aderonke Abimbola Ojo, Ph.D |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Under a presidential system of government, executive powers are vested on the President at the federal level and the Governor at the state or sub-national level. Given the wide powers constitutionally conferred on the executive arm of government along with immunity from civil or criminal proceedings, the instrument of impeachment is incorporated into the Constitution to act as a check and balance against authoritarianism or misuse of official power. The foremost objective of this article is to comparatively scrutinise the modus operandi for impeachment of the President or Governor in Nigeria and the United States of America (USA); the USA impeachment mechanism would be limited to the federal impeachment process of the President and the Vice President. The article employed desk-based or doctrinal and comparative research methods by placing reliance on both primary and secondary sources of information. The sources of information were analysed and inferences obtained were presented descriptively. The article revealed inter alia, that though Nigeria and USA practice presidential system of government as well as operate a federal system, yet, there are some procedural parallels and dissimilarities in their respective impeachment procedures. A case in point is that in the USA, an impeached official cannot subsequently be granted pardon by the President whereas in Nigeria, there is no constitutional clause barring the President or the Governor from granting pardon to a convicted elected executive office holder. The authors therefore, recommended inter alia, that a constitutional amendment should be introduced to sections 175 and 212 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999 CFRN) with the goal of outlawing the President or Governor from granting pardon to an impeached official, as obtainable in the USA. |

Author : Ahmad Faisal, Muhammad Marzaki |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Khuruj fi sabilillah (Traveler in faith) by the followers of Tabligh Jamaat requires the husband not to physically and mentally support his wife for a particular time. Whereas conceptually, fulfilling physical and mental maintenance is one of the instruments to maintain household harmony. This research is qualitative and descriptive and uses a sociological approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation.

Author : Maureen Vinalia Plaikoil, Mary Grace Megumi Maran, Endang Sumiarni |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Sexual violence is a serious social and public health problem affecting the health of women (DeGue et al., 2013). Forced marriage is a form of sexual violence according to law number 12 of 2022 concerning criminal acts of sexual violence in Indonesia hereinafter referred to as the TPKS Law. This study aims to find out and examine the settlement of the practice of Capture Marriage based on the theory of gender equality. This research is an empirical legal research with a legal sociology approach. The results of the research show that in the process of resolving the Capture Marriage case, the community always chooses to resolve it according to custom, although there are some who report to the police, it does not run to completion but stops in the middle of the process. The Capture Marriage case itself shows that there is no gender equality due to the dominating patriarchal culture and the settlement process in Central Sumba is not in accordance with the theory of protection and law enforcement because law enforcement officials tend to ignore the interests of victims and are more subservient to custom. |

Balinese Hindu Philosophy in Mandala Painting |
Author : I Made Ruta, I Wayan Karja |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The combination of art, religion, and spirituality in Bali is closely related and inseparable from each other and is reflected in mandala paintings. Painting is one of the dynamically developing branches of fine arts in Bali, ranging from classical to postmodern or contemporary. One of the unique paintings with an individual style in the middle of a collective culture is the mandala-themed painting by I Dewa Nyoman Batuan. Hinduism and the community environment inspire him to express his contemplation in the form of paintings. This research focuses on three problem formulations, namely the form of mandala paintings, the factors that encourage their creation, and the meaning of mandalas. This research was conducted using a qualitative method. Data related to the above problems were collected using interviews, observation, literature study, and documentation techniques. Data analysis was sharpened with aesthetic theory, theory of structure and change, and semiotics. These four theories are used to analyze each problem formulation. The results show that the form of mandala paintings by I Dewa Nyoman Batuan is purely an expression of ideas, notions, and personal experiences created freely by combining traditional and modern styles. The combination of the two styles creates new creations that are very distinctive with an abstract-symbolic style. The form of mandala painting includes a combination of line, shape, space, color, and texture. The structure of the painting consists of composition, proportion, unity, balance, rhythm, focal point, and contrast based on the mandala perspective. |

Author : Wasman Wasman |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Changes in time affect changes in the condition of the state and society. For example, there will be elections for both central and regional leaders in Indonesia soon. Because each political party names one of its cadres as the countrys top official, todays election of leaders is an incredible gambling arena. This research tries to examine the perfect leader from a Hadith-based perspective. The Al-Quran, Hadith, journals, and books about leadership were employed as the key data sources for this research using the inductive content analysis approach. The study results demonstrate that the definition of a leader in Islamic guidance should encompass the concept of a helper because a leader is in charge of protecting the people he leads and makes an effort to assist and save them when difficulties or disasters occur. A leader is also in charge of everything that occurs and exists in their territory and the affairs of the people it leads. A group selects a leader to guide the members toward achieving a common objective. The ideal leader is humility, the nature of being open to criticism, honesty, and trustworthiness, acting reasonably, commitment to the struggle being democratic, devoted, and serving Allah SWT. |
