Musical Genres

Music is not only an art form defined by certain formal elements, such as rhythmic and melodic modes. It is also a cultural form that implies significant social interaction. Music naturally evokes deeply felt emotions and can touch upon important social identities, because it helps people to experience feelings and express insights into their own lives. Moreover, the fact that it is performed situates any given musical genre within a specific set of sociocultural frames. Unpacking the social, economic, and political contexts surrounding musical genres can deepen our understanding of larger processes at work. An obvious North African example is Rai music, whose explosion in popularity in the 1980s underscored very important social and economic transformations taking place in Algeria and among migrant Algerian communities in France.

Background: Pollution of air, water and soil poisons the environment and cause diseases. The illness in a social context needs further exploration in this particular context. That also led to a reduction in agricultural production, drinking water contamination, and cause illness to both human and animal. That is how it is contributing to alterations in social structure specifically the social institutions. By studying the problem of pollution, we address the impact of pollution on health, society and the environment as a whole. Methods/Design: For the mentioned objectives, the explanatory design was adapted. The study will have three components. A quantitative survey using an interview schedule conducted among the members of the selected villages of Dindigul, district. Specific questions on Social, Economic and Health impacts of industrial pollution will be administered. There will be two different locations, one closer to the Tanneries and villages located 10 Kilometers away from the Tanneries. Even the later villages there are other industries such as handlooms. This will help to understand the difference in the impact of industrial pollution with specific reference to tanneries. Qualitative data aims to conduct in-depth interviews among the village leaders and Focus Group Discussions among the community members. The basic water and soil tests form the villages near tanneries will give additional evidence to understand the physical effects of pollution on the rural environment. The study has received ethical approval from the Institutional Ethics committee. Discussion: Due to the industrialization in the city of Dindigul and the surrounding area, the pollution from industrial outlets not only affect the environment, but it also affects the social structure, interactions, and employment.

Abstract This study deals with the early history of Jimma town and its growth from its foundation until 1936. It explores social, economic and administrative themes, but also attempts to show the interrelationship between these themes. The town of Jimma evolved during this period from being the home-town of a relatively homogenous society and culture into a place of residence for a diverse and increasingly cosmopolitan population. Economically, the story of Jimma during this period is one of both continuity and change. It is a story of continuity because Jimma, which had been a center of trade from the very beginning, continued to be so during this period. There was significant change, however, because unlike the previous decades in which Jimma had served as a point of exchange or transit for elite goods that mostly originated from beyond the borders of the Oromo Kingdom (such as slaves, ivory and musk), during this period the town developed into the chief center for the collection, organization and export of a cash crop that was grown locally (coffee). Economic change, therefore, resulted in both production and exchange. The social, economic and administrative history of Jimma is closely intertwined, however. The mixture of peoples and cultures, as well as the nature of the urban social institutions that evolved in the town, are closely tied to “the cash crop revolution”, which brought streams of permanent and temporary residents to the town; the evolution of the town into a chief administrative center, as well as the introduction of somewhat peculiar administrative and fiscal institutions, came about, at least in part, as a result of the location of the town in the heart of the “coffee country”, as southwestern Ethiopia came to be known. In short, both the urbanity and the urbanization of Jimma can be explained by the story of coffee production and trade. This article documents these processes extensively and accounts for the growth of a major town in modern Ethiopia.

<em>This study aims to prove that legislation or government regulation (No. 103 of 2000) relating to pawnshops still have not touched the side of shari'a, thus because its existence is intended for business purposes and does not touch the social side. Whereas the original purpose of al-Rahn contract is for social purposes. Changes in the transaction purpose of social objectives into the business transaction will result in social problems. The research method with a theoretical framework Maqasid al-Shariah that seen from the legal perspective (Islam), ethics, and the unity will be linked with the Fatwa No. 25 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002 concerning Rahn, DSN-MUI No. 26 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002 concerning Gold Rahn and DSN No. 68 / DSN-MUI / III / 2008 concerning Rahn tasjily as a reference of the technical implementation in implementing the Islamic pawnshop Organization products. The study concluded that the presence of the Islamic pawnshop just touches the side of the law, but the ethics and the unity is still neglected, for example, the issue of justice and social inequality and this paper describes how should the rules applied by social institutions so that the application of al-Rahn can be applied in its tracks, to reduce social- economic inequalities.</em> Penelitian ini betujuan ingin membuktikan bahwa Undang-undang atau Peraturan Pemerintah (Nomor 103 tahun 2000) yang berkaitan dengan pegadaian masih belum menyentuh sisi syariah, hal demikian dikarenakan keberadaanya diperuntukan untuk tujuan bisnis belaka dan tidak menyentuh sisi sosialnya. Padahal tujuan awal disyariatkannya akad al-rahn adalah untuk tujuan sosial. Perubahan tujuan transaksi dari tujuan sosial merubah dengan transaksi bisnis akan berakibat pada masalah sosial. Metode penelitian dengan kerangka teori Maqasid al-Shariah yang dilihat sisi hukum (Islam), etika, dan tauhid akan dihubungkan dengan Fatwa No. 25/DSN-MUI/III/2002 tentang Rahn, DSN-MUI No. 26/DSN-MUI/III/2002 tentang Rahn Emas dan Fatwa DSN No. 68/DSN-MUI/III/2008 tentang rahn tasjily sebagai rujukan dari pelaksanaan teknis dalam melaksanakan produk Lembaga Pegadaian Syariah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keberadaan Pegadaian Syariah hanya menyentuh sisi hukum saja, namun sisi etika dan tauhid masih terabaikan, misalnya masalah keadilan dan kesenjangan sosial dan tulisan ini menjelaskan bagaimana seharusnya peraturan-pertauran yang diterapkan lembaga sosial sehingga penerapan al-rahn dapat diterapkan di jalurnya yaitu untuk mengurangi kesenjangan sosial-eonomi

Contemporary Epistemology

A great deal of contemporary epistemology is driven by a kind of moral panic over the worry that there are no “pure” epistemic practices, perspectives, or standards detachable from the social situation of knowers. Kukla argues that we cannot do epistemology without fundamental, central attention to social identities, power relations, and the social institutions and structures within which epistemic practices happen. But this result is of no threat to our usable notions of objectivity, justification, and the like. The quest for purity is unnecessary. We should recognize it as a product of ideology and become comfortable with situatedness as an everyday phenomenon. Kukla ends by arguing that a proper naturalized, non-ideal epistemology—one more continuous with the empirical sciences—will treat situatedness not as something spooky or epistemologically threatening, but just as an empirical fact about our epistemic practices.

El artículo analiza, desde el enfoque institucional, por qué era necesario hacer la reforma de la Constitución cubana, y los retos que debía tener presentes para garantizar la protección de los derechos de toda la sociedad, así como la implementación de las principales transformaciones socioeconómicas realizadas por el Gobierno para garantizar la permanencia del sistema socialista cubano y seguir reforzando las relaciones bilaterales con la UE. De hecho, con la firma y puesta en funcionamiento del primer Acuerdo de Diálogo Político y de Cooperación UE-Cuba del 2016, se puso en marcha un nuevo modelo político de relación UE-Cuba. Por esta razón, en los tres apartados del artículo se demuestra cómo la reforma constitucional cubana respalda y brinda continuidad al proceso de modernización realizado en la estructura social, económica y política en Cuba, para garantizar la aplicación provisional del Acuerdo con la UE desde 2017 hasta 2019. From an institutional approach, the paper analyzes why it was necessary to reform the Constitution of Cuba, and the challenges that had to be taken into account to ensure the protection of rights of the Cuban people, as well as the implementation by the Government of the main socio-economic transformations to guarantee the continuation of the Cuban socialist system and to reinforce the bilateral rapport with the European Union (EU). In fact, the signature and implementation of the first EU-Cuba Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement, in 2016, prompted a new political model in the relationship between the EU and Cuba. For this reason, in the three sections of the paper, we prove how the reform of the Constitution of Cuba offers support and continuity to the process of modernization of the social, economic and political structure of Cuba, in order to ensure the provisional implementation of the Agreement with the EU from 2017 to 2019.

The performance of drama bangsawan not only carries social, economic, and political missions. The role of drama bangsawan is increasingly important and strategic in organizing the life of the nation, state, and society. In addition to playing a role to explore the cultural and artistic values that we have, royal drama can also play a role in encouraging the realization of complete human development, which also means not only teaching material/physical, but also very useful to order the mental and spiritual of every human being. This paper presents the syntactic aspects of the drama bangsawan in North Sumatra. The syntactic aspect which is part of Charles Morris's semiotic theory explores the nature and pattern of stories of aristocratic plays. This review succeeded in discovering the existence of the aristocratic theater in North Sumatra and its shape patterns. This folk theater originally took place among the aristocrats in the Serdang Sultanate and eventually became the property of most people. The aristocratic form or concept of the show was maintained even though it was no longer played at the Palace, as the palaces in the former North Sumatra Residency after the Social Revolution collapsed. This theater should be inherited as a non-fine cultural form belonging to North Sumatra.

Re-creating the social, economic and demographic life-cycles of ordinary people is one way in which historians might engage with the complex continuities and changes which underlay the development of early modern communities. Little, however, has been written on the ways in which historians might deploy computers, rather than card indexes, to the task of identifying such life cycles from the jumble of the sources generated by local and national administration. This article suggests that multiple-source linkage is central to historical and demographic analysis, and reviews, in broad outline, some of the procedures adopted in a study which aims at large scale life cycle reconstruction.
