The Relationship

In the article, the issue of the relationship between science and the sphere of cultural values is considered in two mutually correlated aspects. First, it reveals the ambivalent status of science as the most important social institution in a modern dynamically transforming society, which, in accordance with the very popular metaphor of U. Beck, is increasingly called the “risk society.” Secondly, the problem of sociocultural determination of scientific knowledge is interpreted as a problem of the axiology of science. At the same time, the relationship between social and intrascientific (cognitive) values is examined through the prism of possible forms and mechanisms of their philosophical and methodological representation. The author examines the specificity of pre-requisite knowledge, especially in the form as the metatheoretical foundations of scientific research is revealed. The article reveals the ambivalent nature of the value status of science in the context of changing socio-cultural priorities of the industrial civilization, against the background of a brief reconstruction of the main ideas of U. Beck’s concept of reflexive modernization, the theory of risk-generating development of science and high technologies by G. Bechmann, Z. Bauman’s idea about sociocultural imbalance as an essential characteristic of “individualized society.” The specificity of the value determination of scientific knowledge is considered in the context of substantiating the sociocognitive approach as the most important result of the philosophical and methodological research in the 20th century. Within the framework of this approach, two alternative strategies are distinguished, for using social and cognitive values as specific forms of prerequisite knowledge. One of the strategies is focused on development of conceptual foundations of science and rationally grounded metatheoretical structures (V.S. Stepin). The second strategy gives preference to non-conceptual (pre-conceptual) forms of background knowledge as productive metaphors that perform the functions of methodological heuristics and the integration of scientific knowledge into culture (M. Foucault, L. Laudan, et al.). The article concludes that there is the peculiar bifunctionality of the cultural valuein relation to science. On the one hand, science itself is a fundamental value in modern culture, although its impact on social life is ambivalent. On the other hand, the dominant values of risk society influence the formation of a new image of science and its methodological tools.

More than the cultural values contained in the management of natural resources in Maluku will always include the principles and traditions of sasi and adat because they are an intrinsic part of a culture which for centuries has proven to be adaptive and resistant to external disturbances. The purpose of this study was to determine the orientation of the cultural value of sasi in Maluku. The method used is qualitative research, where observation, interviews and documentation are used to collect data from informants. The results showed that talking about cultural values in sasi would be related to the concept of the nature of human life, the work of human life, human position and space and time, the nature of man and nature as well as the relationship between humans and humans and other people. Where the culture of sasi illustrates what humans must do, It is hoped that sasi culture will remain a part of the Saparua indigenous people so that people will continue to choose the values of sasi cultural orientation so that social life and ecological life will continue to be sustainable from the control of sasi cultural values.

Object of research: technology as a component of human social life in the context of the postmodern era. Investigated problem: determination of the features of the influence of technological processes on a person of the postmodern era, as a result of which the natural is replaced by an artificial one and the images of both man and the Earth change. Main scientific results: the study of the contradictions of the process of technologization in the postmodern era made it possible to determine the transformation processes taking place in the life of a person and society. This defines social reality, represented by various markers, among which technology is gaining in importance. The latter act as a composite, which provides new opportunities for determining the relationship between the elements of the "world - man - culture" system. It is not only about the emergence of new human figures, among which the technological man (Homo Technologicus) occupies a prominent place, but also the emergence of a new image of the Earth, where the natural is replaced by the technological. The scope of practical use of the research results: the research results can be used in teaching normative courses "Philosophical Anthropology", "Ethics", "Sociology" for students and undergraduates, graduate students of humanitarian and natural faculties. Innovative technological product: the plurality of existing technologies (economic, medical, educational, humanitarian, etc.) destroys the new European concept of culture and man, which were provided within the framework of the monoparadigm. The anthropological dimension of technology testifies that the latter are beginning to act as a condition for human expansion. This situation has a significant impact on the existentials of human existence. The scope of using the innovative technological product: the intensive technologization of the last decades not only provokes environmental risks and changes the state of the Earth, the natural reality of the Earth is replaced by an artificial one, which allows to conclude that the Earth is formed by a technological one.

The Relationship

Typically, Triple Helix relations, between, Higher Education Institutions, Governments and Industry(s) are inferred from patents and research output. Systemic determination of the relationship is because of observations over a period. It is, however, possible to analyze this relation from a system present from the word-go. This then allows for the interaction to be analyzed on the basis of performance and logically gains for participation by all the agents. Several models have been proposed to deduce the Triple Helix Relation and these hold. This paper has however introduced a new dimension to the analysis, by viewing participation from an investor point of view with decision making being of a complex and deductive nature based on the performance of higher education systems or institutions. The TOPSIS supported performance deductions helps synthesis decision solutions that facilitates value determination of performance and its resultant impact on investment gains. Possible future implications for this, are also provided

The purpose of this article is to research the problem of the relationship between science and moral in the new industrial society. The main result of the research can be expressed in a number of the following theses. The functioning and interaction of science and moral depends on the existing social conditions. Accordingly, the relationship between science and moral must be considered specifically historically. In the early stages of becoming a social institution, modern science was an ethically neutral form of culture. Approximately from the late 19th – early 20th centuries, the situation gradually changed in the direction of increasing the moral component of scientific knowledge. The emerging industrial society of the second generation predetermines the dominance of the significance of moral issues in all spheres, including the sphere of science. The reason for such dominance is the inability to control technological processes completely, as well as the ever-increasing interference with the surrounding nature and human nature.

This paper aims to explore and discuss the justice value in Islam in order to formulate price concept based on justice value in Islam. The second aim is to find out the benefits of the price concept for mashlahah of mankind. The analytical method employed in this paper is a critical-intuitive thinking based on Islamic epistemological framework, that is the bayani method, burhani method and irfani method. The bayani mothod is a textual presentation from text, event or phenomenon while the burhani mothod is based on logic to understand events and phenomena or to interpret the text contextually. While irfani mothod places greater reliance on intuition to achieve scientific knowledge. The three methods are applied integratedly in this paper. The study was conducted on the owners and management YDT in Bandung. The results showed, the price concept based on justice value according to bayani method is cost-plus profane basic needs and according to burhani  method is cost-plus basic needs as well as according to irfani method is cost-plus basic needs and environment. In general, the price concept based on justice value in Islam is cost-plus pricing, which is a concept that considers pricing benefit for mashlahah of mankind in determining the amount of margin through a balance between the needs of traders with the basic needs of the buyer's purchasing power and the need to preserve and maintain harmonization of the relationship with the environment. Determination of the price would reduce the economic disparities in society, creating a more harmonious life, and enhance the dignity of mankind

This article is a study of the relationship between Islam Aboge with other Muslims. There is a significant difference between the two groups, namely the calculation of the date, month and year. The Islamist Aboge uses the Aboge Almanac which is not the same as the Hijri almanac. The implication is the determination of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which is never in conjunction with Muslims in general, either using the method of rukyat or hisab. However, their relationship remains harmonious. The relationship between the two is seen in the activities of worship and social life. They understand each other and understand their beliefs. The interactions between Aboge adherents and and other Muslims take places in many sites, such as village hall and fields. Factors supporting the harmonious relationship between the two groups are religious understanding, joint activities, and tolerance.<br />---<br /><br />Artikel ini merupakan kajian tentang hubungan antara aliran Islam Aboge dengan umat Islam lainnya. Terdapat perbedaan yang cukup signifikan antara dua kelompok tersebut, yaitu mengenai parhitungan tanggal, bulan dan tahun. Aliran Islam Aboge menggunakan Almanak Aboge yang tidak sama dengan almanak Hijriah. Implikasinya, penentuan Hari  Raya Idul Fitri dan Idul Adha tidak pernah bersamaaan waktunya dengan umat Islam pada umumnya, baik yang menggunakan metode perhitunga rukyat atau hisab. Namun begitu, hubungan mereka tetap harmonis. Hubungan antara keduanya terlihat pada kegiatan ibadah, sosial keagamaan, dan sosial kemasyarakatan. Mereka sudah saling mengerti dan memahami keyakinan masing-masing. Tempat yang sering menjadi ajang interaksi antara penganut aliran Aboge dan masyarakat diluar Aboge yaitu tempat-tempat yang dipakai untuk kegiatan bersama, seperti balai desa, pendopo RT atau RW dan sawah atau ladang. Faktor pendukung hubungan yang harmonis antara kedua kelompok tersebut, antara lain paham keagamaan, kegiatan bersama, dan toleransi.

The article presents problems of schools’ functioning in the conditions of social change. Social change places new demands on the school concerning the scope of knowledge and type of skills students and graduates need in preparation for work and social life, as well as relationships with other people. The author presents in the article issues of how school functions under conditions of rapid change. He notes that it is a social institution, so it changes with the whole of society. In these new, complex conditions, the school cannot cope with the growing social and economic expectations. It is still an institution strongly rooted in tradition. Therefore, it does not meet the standards of an increasingly democratic society, it does not sufficiently respond to the needs of the labour market. In this situation, school crisis is more and more often discussed in Poland and in the world. The author poses the question: What will the education of tomorrow look like? In the text, he argues that it is difficult to make optimistic predictions about the successful construction of tomorrow’s education. This state of affairs will not change until the pool of contemporary scientific knowledge in the field of pedagogy and the entirety of decision-making in educational management become completely separate fields, each of which is governed by different principles and functions as an entity existing in and of itself.
