This chapter discusses the causes of ceasefire violations (CFVs) using a template of five types of causes which are, operational reasons, politico-strategic reasons, retributive reasons, cultural factors, and inadvertent firing. The order in which these causes have been mentioned is based on their ability to cause CFVs. This chapter also explains CFVs using the concept of ‘autonomous military factors’ (AMFs). A large chunk of the causes of CFVs identified earlier fall under the category of AMFs. The chapter uses interviews with over 80 officials and a survey of primary and secondary sources to examine the causes of CFVs.

The Impact

This paper aims to analyze the judges’ considerations of the Class I B Tanggamus Religious Court in the case of the determination of the Marriage Dispensation Number 008/Pdt.P/2018/PA. Tgm and 0012/ Pdt.P/2019/PA.Tgm, and the reasons put forward by the petitioners, as well as reviewing them from the maslahahah side. This research method is descriptive qualitative, with the Ushul Fiqh approach. Collecting data through documentation and library research, using sources related to the main research problem, both primary and secondary sources with philosophical, juridical, and logical approaches, and content analysis techniques. As a result, the panel of judges gave its decision based on the fact that their marriage could be carried out immediately because the applicants were consensual and always together, and there was a concern that unwanted things would happen in religion or the law. The reasons for parents to marry off their children at a young age (under 19 years) are due to cultural factors, releasing the burden on parents, and because they are pregnant outside of marriage. From the view of maslahah, this dispensation of marriage does not bring benefit, but rather brings harm. Because the impact after marriage, it turns out that one of them always quarrels in his household so he doesn’t live together anymore. And one other even though they still live together, but their lives are very deprived and unworthy.

The pursuit to control the villages of Upper Bakweri Land (UBL) by the villages of Soppo Mokongo (Great Soppo) and Gbea (Buea Town) led to a series of wars which erupted in the area between 1880 and 1939. The desire for domination resulted to the formation of two main groups which aligned the other villages of UBL under the leadership of either Soppo Mokongo or Gbea. The creation of competing blocs culminated to the upsurge of indigenous wars among the villages of UBL that dragged the two lead villages to support one side or the other. This paper examines the reasons for, the manifestation and the nature of indigenous wars in UBL between 1880 and 1939.  To attain the goals of the paper, the chronological and thematic methods were employed in analyzing and synthesizing data obtained from primary and secondary sources. Information from primary sources came from the National Archives Buea (NAB) and oral interviews. Material gotten from secondary sources was from both published and unpublished works. The findings show that political, economic and socio-cultural factors were the driving force behind indigenous wars in the area. That ritualized combat, the cutting of the head of the leader illustrated the nature of warfare. That the weapons of war used were dane guns, cutlasses and clubs. Although, the wars were classified as either “just” or “unjust’; they never succeeded in establishing a lead village in UBL.

The main feature of traditional financial system is that it considers economic aspects of the transaction only. This system supports the economic development and not the welfare of humankind. However, except for the Islamic financial system, no other financial system stood in front of it as a viable alternative system. Malaysian Islamic financial system has made tremendous progress in creating sound Islamic Financial system. However, the historical aspect of this country which has passed through Islamic and traditional financial system has its own advantages and disadvantages. Despite having mix and heterogeneous culture, it succeeds in creating Islamic Financial System based on dual legal system to satisfy the needs of multi-cultural factors. Due to adoption of dual legal system, several legal issues have arisen. This chapter sheds light on some matters related with the adoption of dual legal system. The chapter is conceptual in nature and the method adopted is the intensive survey of literature, thereby all the information has been gathered from the secondary sources.

Abstract. Sati as an act of ritual suicide has been reported from the Indian subcontinent, especially among the Hindus, for several centuries. Although legally proscribed, these acts occur even now in modern India. The principle behind such acts has been put forward as the principle of good wife. There is little evidence to suggest that women who commit this act suffer from a formal mental illness. Cultural factors and gender role expectations play a significant role in the act and its consequences. Using recent examples, this paper illustrates the cultural factors, which may be seen as contributing to the act of suicide. Other factors embedded in the act also emphasize that not all suicides have underlying psychiatric disorders and clinicians must take social causation into account while preparing any prevention strategies.

This article focuses on a major human factors–related issue that includes the undeniable role of cultural factors and cockpit automation and their serious impact on flight crew performance, communication, and aviation safety. The report concentrates on the flight crew performance of the Boeing 777–Asiana Airlines Flight 214 accident, by exploring issues concerning mode confusion and autothrottle systems. It also further reviews the vital role of cultural factors in aviation safety and provides a brief overview of past, related accidents. Automation progressions have been created in an attempt to design an error-free flight deck. However, to do that, the pilot must still thoroughly understand every component of the flight deck – most importantly, the automation. Otherwise, if pilots are not completely competent in terms of their automation, the slightest errors can lead to fatal accidents. As seen in the case of Asiana Flight 214, even though engineering designs and pilot training have greatly evolved over the years, there are many cultural, design, and communication factors that affect pilot performance. It is concluded that aviation systems designers, in cooperation with pilots and regulatory bodies, should lead the strategic effort of systematically addressing the serious issues of cockpit automation, human factors, and cultural issues, including their interactions, which will certainly lead to better solutions for safer flights.
