This study explains the contribution of the Alawiyyin scholars in the Islamization of the archipelago in the 15th-16th centuries AD. The Alawiyyin scholar or Bani Alawi was the descendant of Sayyid Alawi bin Ubaidillah bin Ahmad al-Muhajir who was connected to the Prophet Muhammad. They had played a major role in spreading Islam in the archipelago and contributed to the intellectual-spiritual development of Islamic civilizations in the archipelago. However, unfortunately, their role was not widely written by historians even though many classical scientific sources recorded their history. Therefore, this study provides new facts in revealing their contribution in spreading Islam in the archipelago through various works of literature of classical scholars who had recorded their contributions during the Islamization in the archipelago. This study was conducted using a literature study; with historical analysis to find historical data and facts about the contribution of Alawiyyin scholars in the Islamization of the archipelago in the 15th-16th centuries AD. The findings of this study show that Alawiyyin's contribution to the Islamization of the archipelago can be witnessed in their attempts to spread Islam, resulting in the birth of Islamic civilizations in the archipelago. They also helped to root Ahlussunnah wa Jama'ah, Syafii's sect (madzhab), and Sunni Sufism throughout the archipelago with wisdom

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to contribute to further advancing of IMP as a research field by setting up and starting a theoretical conversation between system theory and the IMP. Design/methodology/approach The approach is based on a narrative literature study and conceptual research. Findings The authors find that system theory and cybernetics can be regarded as important sources of inspiration for early IMP research. The authors identify three specific theoretical “puzzles” in system theory that may serve as useful topics for discussion between system theorists and IMP researchers. Originality/value Only a handful of papers have touched upon the relationship between system theory and IMP before. This paper combines a narrative, historical analysis of this relationship with developing specific suggestions for using system theory as a vehicle for further advancement of IMP research.

Bronze weights from Myanmar (old Burma) are popularly but incorrectly identified as “opium weights”. This paper examines the historical evidence for a system of weights and measures in old Burma going back to the 11th to 14th century Bagan period. It also examines the challenge to Southeast Asian archaeology, history and museology posed by the popular “Angel Weights” website and Facebook pages, which claim that a hoard of bronzes and associated documentation kept in a so-far undisclosed location represents a hitherto unknown collection of weights that date back to the Bagan and 14th to 16th century First Ava periods. This (so far) private curatorship of alleged historical data presents a dilemma: how does an academic deal with data that is available only on the internet, presented only from the viewpoint of its owners? မြန်မာပြည် (ယခင်ဗမာပြည်)မှ ကြေးရုပ်အလေးများကို လူသိများလှသော်လည်း ဘိန်းချိန် အလေးများဟူ၍ လွဲမှားစွာ ဖွင့်ဆိုလေ့ရှိသည်။ ယခုစာတမ်းမှာ အေဒီ(၁၁)ရာစုမှ (၁၄)ရာစု ရှေးခေတ် မြန်မာပြည် ပုဂံခေတ်ကာလတွင် သုံးစွဲခဲ့သော အလေးချိန်စနစ်တစ်ခုအတွက် သမိုင်းဆိုင်ရာ အထောက်အထားများကို လေ့လာရှာဖွေရန်ဖြစ်သည်။ အလားတူပင် အရှေ့တောင်အာရှ ရှေးဟောင်း သုတေသန၊ သမိုင်းနှင့် ပြတိုက်ဆိုင်ရာ ကြေးထည်ပစ္စည်းများနှင့် ဆက်စပ်အထောက်အထားများကို ယင်းတို့၏ မူရင်းနေရာ အတိအကျ မသိရှိဘဲ ပုဂံခေတ်မှ အေဒီ(၁၄_၁၆) ရာစု အင်းဝခေတ်တို့နှင့် သက်ဆိုင်သည့် ကြေးထည်ပစ္စည်းနှင့် အလေးများဟူ၍ “နတ်ရုပ်အလေးများ” ကွန်ယက်နှင့် ဖေ့စ်ဘုတ် လူမှုကွန်ယက်စာမျက်နှာများတွင် လူသိထင်ရှားဖော်ပြ ထားခြင်းတို့အပေါ် စောဒကတက်စရာရှိသည် များကို စစ်ဆေးလေ့လာသွားရန်လည်းဖြစ်သည်။ ဤသို့ (ဖော်ပြထားသည့်) ကိုယ်ပိုင်ပြသမှု များမှ သမိုင်းဆိုင်ရာ အချက်အလက် များကို လိုသလို သုံးစွဲနေမှုများသည်-“ပစ္စည်းပိုင်ရှင်တို့၏ အထင် အမြင်ဖြင့်သာ ဖော်ပြထားသည့် အင်တာနက် တွင်သာရနိုင်သော အချက်အလက်များနှင့် ပညာရပ်ဆိုင်ရာ လေ့လာမှုတို့မည်ကဲ့သို့ ဆက်စပ်နိုင်ကြ မည်နည်း”ဟူသော အကြပ်အတည်းတစ်ခုကိုလည်း ဖော်ပြ လျက်ရှိသည်။

Abstract. At 07:00 h (UTC-6) on 22 June 1932, a Ms = 6.9 earthquake shocked the coasts of Colima and Jalisco. Five minutes later a tsunami arrived at the coast. It almost completely destroyed the town of Cuyutlán, Colima, causing the deaths of 50 people and leaving about 1200 injured. In this study, newspaper reports and technical reports are reviewed, as well as survivors' testimonials. The physical characteristics (mean sea level at the time, time of arrival, sea retreat, and inundation distribution) and the tsunami effects (number of victims, injuries, affected buildings) have been reconstructed and mapped. The interpretation of historical data allowed us to determine the intensity of the tsunami and to reveal the tsunamigenic source. This study emphasizes the relevance of historical analysis, including survivor's testimonies, in the reconstruction of tsunamis that lack instrumental data. The results of this study are relevant to paleotsunami studies and tsunami related hazard planning.

The Past

Historical data pose a variety of problems to those who seek statistically based understandings of the past. Quantitative historical analysis has been limited by researcher’s reliance on rigid statistics collected by individuals or agencies, or else by researcher access to small samples of raw data. Even digital technologies by themselves have not been enough to overcome the challenges of working with manuscript sources and aligning dis-aggregated data. However, by coupling the facilities enabled by the web with the enthusiasm of the public for explorations of the past, history has started to make the same strides towards big data evident in other fields. While the use of citizens to crowdsource research data was first pioneered within the sciences, a number of projects have similarly begun to draw on the help of citizen historians. This article explores the particular example of the Prosecution Project, which since 2014 has been using crowdsourced volunteers on a research collaboration to build a large-scale relational database of criminal prosecutions throughout Australia from the early 1800s to 1960s. The article outlines the opportunities and challenges faced by projects seeking to use web technologies to access, store and re-use historical data in an environment that increasingly enables creative collaborations between researchers and other users of social and historical data.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore how nationalistic appeals may affect consumers’ perception and purchasing of targeted brands. Qualitative historical data from old China (1900–1949) reveal that social movement groups can adopt nationalistic appeals assisted by meaning framing – defined as a creative interpretation of symbols, designs, behaviors, social events and cultural identities to serve social and political goals – to shape consumers’ attitudes toward foreign brands. After examining the mechanisms and processes underlying consumer boycotts from 1900 to 1949, the responsive strategies of affected foreign companies are illustrated. Design/methodology/approach Critical historical research method is applied to historical data and historical “traces” from China’s corporate documents, memoirs, posters, advertisements, newspapers and secondhand sources documenting Chinese boycotts from 1900 to 1949. Findings Consumers may pursue interests beyond economic interests. Nationalistic appeals can mobilize consumer boycotts against foreign brands that were perceived to support or relate to targeted countries. Political framing of certain events shapes consumers’ perceptions and concomitant brand choices. Research limitations/implications Although differences between historical and current contexts may require tailoring past marketing strategies to current conditions, past strategies can inform current and future strategies. Practical implications Strategies adopted by foreign companies in old China (1900–1949) can help contemporary companies design effective marketing strategies for a hostile marketplace infused with nationalistic appeals and competing interests. Social implications Although local companies can adopt economic or political nationalism to realize their economic goals, it represents a double-edged sword that can harm national brands. Originality/value A historical analysis of nationalistic business appeals in pre-1949 China can inform the counterstrategies modern companies adopt to overcome consumer boycotts.

This paper addresses the debate on the place of origin of the Upper Guinea branch of Portuguese Creole (UGPC) as spoken in Guinea-Bissau and Casamance (GBC) and on the Santiago Island of Cape Verde (SCV). The hypothesis that UGPC emerged on Santiago rather than on the mainland is underpinned both historically and linguistically. First, a historical framework is presented that accounts for the linguistic transfer from Santiago to Cacheu. Secondly, Parkvall’s (2000) lexical evidence in favor of a Santiago birth will be analyzed and corroborated. Thirdly, a phonological trait that separates GBC from SCV is highlighted and shown to favor a Santiago origin. Finally, lexical and phonological features typical of 15th–16th century Portuguese shared by GBC and SCV are combined with historical data to further strengthen the Santiago birth hypothesis.

This article attempts to trace the fundamental role of early Persian beliefs, Zoroastrians, to the decision of Ahl al-Bayt’s choice to migrate to Persia (Iran). This research is based on the fact that there are many places for pilgrimage to imams in Iran.  Specifically, this research investigates the similarity of several concepts in both religions, Zoroaster and Islam, regarding the teaching in the principle of God (Ilahiyyah), the principle of life after death (eschatology), and the principle of justice and morals of the religion embraced before Islam in Persia. Several studies have also reported on the distortions, opposition, and the consequences of encountering the two beliefs for the first time between Persian beliefs and Islamic teachings. This study employs a qualitative method with historical analysis and literature study along with relevant information of the study.  This article also uses the theory of migration and identity to see the interconnectedness of religion in the migration context. The results of this study show the factors that the Persians are interested in accepting and understanding the teachings of Islam. Those are: first, the emotional closeness of beliefs and moral values between Muslims and Zoroastrians (Magi); Second, the inclusive nature of Islam; third, the absence of racial, gender, and status discrimination in Islamic teachings. The descendants of imams Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet Muhammad SAW continued the prophet's preaching and the Imams in expanding the spread of Islamic teachings to various regions. During this expansion process, they found Iran as the most secure, and suitable region to accept the presence and teaching of Islam especially the Shiite sect. Therefore, they decided to migrate to Iran, and until now Iran is known as a Shiite country.

Said Nursi

This paper aims to describe the da’wa strategy of the Nurcu movement in the dynamics of ideologies in Turkey during Erdogan's reign, as well as its correlation with Al-Madkhal Ila Ilmi Dakwah's book by Al Bayanuni.The existence of the three ideologies that developed in Turkey, namely Islamism, western ideology, and nationalism, is still developing today. Various reforms and branches of each movement have colored the socio-political life in Turkey. One example of being part of a reformer is the Nurcu Movement, which is part of the Islamism group. This movement was led by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi with his monumental work entitled Risale-i Nur (Faiz, 2017). Said Nursi was one of the figures who initiated resistance to government policies during the Ataturk era. The resistance carried out by Nursi did not use weapons, but with a different da'wah strategy This paper is a literature study, with a historical analysis approach to the Nurcu Movement in Turkey through the work of other relevant researchers. The study results show that the da’wa strategy used by the Nurcu movement is persuasive, logic, and dialogue. In addition, the Nurcu movement also used three da’wa strategies according to Al-Bayanunni namely al-athifi, al-aqly, and al-hissi. This movement spread its da'wa by entering into five fields, namely social, journalist, media, education and economics. The preaching strategy of the Nurcu movement can be said to be successful because it is able to survive and continue to exist today

“Gotong-Royong” (mutual assistance of Indonesia) According to Sukarno in Max Scheler’s Axiology Perspective aims to find analytically the objective meaning of the principle of gotong-royong in the perspective of axiology. Axiology selected as an object to be formal because this research focused on “gotong-royong” as a typical value of Indonesia. This theme is expected to contribute to the life of the Indonesian people today who seem to live in a crisis of mutual cooperation in various fields. Sukarno summarizes Pancasila in a single value, namely the "gotong-royong" or he describes as Ekasila. The essence of Pancasila finds a great challenge today.The research in this dissertation is a qualitative study philosophy. The research model used a qualitative research by conducting a literature study. Hermeneutics is then used to search for meaning in this study. Methodical elements used in this study are: verstehen, historical analysis, analytic language, and heuristics. Sukarno's speech will be studied by following the hermeneutics of Dilthey. The results of the analysis of Dilthey then will be the material that will discussed from the standpoint of axiological objectivism of Max Scheler.The meaning of “gotong-royong” of Soekarno found in this research is to work together, help each other, shoulder to shoulder, cooperation, deliberation, and mutual respect as a nation. The “gotong-royong” was not the result of subjective feelings of Sukarno. The value of gotong-royong is exist without speech of Soekarno, and attached to Indonesian. Pancasila is not created by Sukarno or the founding fathers. Sukarno, in the language of Scheler, precisely found the values of Pancasila and gotong-royong that has lived a long time in the Earth Indonesia. Gotong-royong as a value, in this line of thought Scheler fixed and objective. The practice of gotong-royong appears in the shared ethos..
