Genealogi studi hukum Islam di lingkungan Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam berlangsung dinamis dan transformatif. Pembentukan genealogi tersebut tidak bisa dilepaskan dari jaringan keilmuan yang terbentuk sejak berdirinya Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam. Jaringan keilmuan yang telah terbentuk kemudian memunculkan dua tipologi studi hukum Islam di lingkungan Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam yaitu kontekstualisasi mazhabi dan rekonstruksi interpretatif. Genealogi ini berjalan dalam jejaring genealogis yang cair tanpa sekat sistem atau batasan formal-struktural dengan menggunakan pendekatan keilmuan sosial. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa hukum Islam tumbuh menyatu dengan realitas kehidupan masyarakat yang beragam sehingga diskursus hukum Islam secara dinamis memunculkan nuansa dan perspektif baru yang secara nasab merupakan anotasi dari karya lama dan tumbuh dalam kerangka keragaman, dinamis dan perubahan. (Genealogy of Islamic law studies among Islamic universities has become dynamic and transformative. The genealogy has been transformed since the scientific networks existed in state of Islamic university. These networks eventually form two typologies of Islamic law studies which are reconstruction of mazhab and interpretative reconstruction. The genealogical process exists without formal and structural borders while using interdisciplinary approach from social science. It proves that Islamic law has exprienced a dynamic process which is indicated by new perspectives, that rooted from old approaches and develops in the frame of three principles which are diversity, change and continuity)

Thomas Theorem

The article addresses the problems concerning the formation of the methodology of critical analysis of Russian strategies, which are aimed at reforming and managing of education and science on the basis of modern social science and Humanities studies and the principles of the interdisciplinary approach. The authors state the change of the critique vector – the transition from value-loaded political statements to scientific analysis of the objective factors determining social pathologies in education system. The situation today is characterized by the attempts to find and formulate an objectivated language to describe social reality. In particular, the researchers actively use the methodological potential of such concepts as “converted form”, “red tapes”, “Goodhart’s law”, “Thomas theorem” that are implemented as conceptual tools to comprehend and describe the specificity of educational system. The general meaning of the forming analytical strategy applied to education and science is that all the management actions are subject to “corrective” influence of these principles and laws. Within the framework of this approach critique of education (and the process of its reforming) is indivisible from the constructive analysis of education as a whole system with its immanent dimensions. This approach orients researchers towards studying the “ontological” and “essential” problems of education.

Context Specific

West Africa has a high burden of malnutrition and the drivers are often complex, highly context-specific, and cut across individual, social, political and environmental domains. Public health research most often considers immediate individual health and diet drivers, at the expense of wider considerations that may fall outside of a health agenda. The objective of this systematic mapping review is to map the broad drivers of malnutrition in West Africa, from public health and social science perspectives, and to evaluate the additional value of an interdisciplinary approach. Evidence was gathered from one public health (MEDLINE) and one social science (International Bibliography of Social Science) database using a detailed search syntax tailored to each disciplinary configuration. Literature was screened against pre-determined eligibility criteria and extracted from abstracts. Studies published in English or French between January 2010 and April 2018 were considered for inclusion. Driver categories (immediate, underlying and basic drivers) were coded against the UNICEF conceptual framework of malnutrition. A total of 358 studies were included; 237 were retrieved from the public health database and 124 from the social science database, 3 studies were included in both. The public health and social science literature document different drivers, with MEDLINE most often reporting immediate drivers of malnutrition and the International Bibliography of Social Science database reporting underlying and basic drivers. The combined literature offers more balanced representation across categories. An interdisciplinary approach proved successful in achieving complementarity in search results while upholding rigorous methods. We recommend that interdisciplinary approaches are utilised to bridge recognised gaps between defined disciplines.

The Individual

"In this contribution, we anticipate the results of the research project “Medicine 4.0 – the ethical basis of digitalization in healthcare” funded by the German Ministry of Health, which investigated the ethically relevant effects of digitalized medicine using mobile health (mhealth) and telemedicine as prime examples, with the final aim of deriving policy-relevant overarching recommendations. In an iterative interdisciplinary approach, we linked social science research with analytic research on the ethically relevant effects of these technologies, including on the doctor-patient relationship, the relationship between responsibility and solidarity in healthcare and on the autonomy of the individual. In both the ethical and social science research, a key focus concerned the identification and analysis of an apparent diversity of stakeholder values and perspectives. In mobile or mhealth, which we concentrate on for this presentation, technology developers, insurances, physicians and public health professionals as well as ‘patient-consumers’ need to be looked at and involved. Their outlook in turn may converge, but also be in tension or collide, e.g. regarding conditions for data access and use, liability in case of malfunction or misuse and the overall question of responsibilities in a context of shifting roles and role anticipations. The research combines ethical insight and expert stakeholder perspectives on the most pressing issues in this fast-moving field. Further, traditional issues such as informed consent, confidentiality and the role of individual autonomy, are in part redefined with the emerging role of automated or algorithmic decision-making. "
