The word globalization has already made it into our lexicon, though the term itself has appeared relatively recently. It is believed that it was first introduced into scientific circulation by the American economist R. Robertson in 1985. Under this concept began to bring various processes of the exit of social life in all its dimensions (economic, political, cultural, informational, confessional, etc.) beyond individual countries and regions. The interpretation of this term in dictionaries, encyclopedias, as well as in individual studies often depends on the specificity of the field of knowledge in which it is considered. However, it can be stated that globalization is a universal phenomenon and its consideration requires a multidisciplinary approach. In this article, we are only attempting to consider globalization processes and their impact on marital relations in the modern Muslim world.

AbstractThis paper concerns a problem, the global pandemic COVID-19, which has influenced religious practices with respect to health protection across the Muslim world. Rapid transmission of the virus between people has become a serious challenge and a threat to the health protection of many countries. The increase in the incidence of COVID-19 in the Muslim community took place during and after the pilgrimages to Iran's Qom and as a result of the Jamaat Tabligh movement meetings. However, restrictions on religious practices have become a platform for political discussions, especially among Muslim clergy. This paper is an analysis of the religious and political situation in Muslim countries, showing the use of Islam to achieve specific goals by the authorities, even at the price of the health and life of citizens.

David McNally styles this book as beginning in a polemic and ending in a “materialist approach to language” much indebted to the German critic Walter Benjamin. The charge is that “postmodernist theory, whether it calls itself poststructuralism, deconstruction or post-Marxism, is constituted by a radical attempt to banish the real human body—the sensate, biocultural, laboring body—from the sphere of language and social life” (p. 1). By treating language as an abstraction, McNally argues, postmodernism constitutes a form of idealism. More than that, it succumbs to and perpetuates the fetishism of commodities disclosed by Marx insofar as it treats the products of human laboring bodies as entities independently of them. Clearly irritated by the claims to radicalism made by those he labels postmodern, McNally thinks he has found their Achilles' heel: “The extra-discursive body, the body that exceeds language and discourse, is the ‘other’ of the new idealism, the entity it seeks to efface in order to bestow absolute sovereignty on language. To acknowledge the centrality of the sensate body to language and society is thus to threaten the whole edifice of postmodernist theory” (p. 2).

Marriage is a sacred bond in Islam that ties a man and a woman into a lifelong relationship of love, compassion, mutual understanding, respect and security. It is a firm pledge that one makes in the name of Allah for one-another. ‘Misyar marriage’, ‘Convenience marriage’ or ‘Travelers’ marriage’ is a new form of marriage practiced widely in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other gulf states. The ‘Misyar bride’ sacrifices some of her marital rights, such as expenses, fixed duration, and an abode. The scholars in Islam have different opinions about this form of marriage. Some of them supported it vehemently, as it could reduce the number of ladies without husbands; while yet others strongly oppose it, as it sounds like part-time wives, which has no roots in Islamic heritage. The present study therefore aims to explore the real status of ‘Misyar or convenience marriage’ in the texts from the Qur’an, Prophet’s Sunnah, the practices of his rightly guided Companions and the Fatawa of the traditional and modern scholars. It would analyze them in the light of the current realities and situations prevailing in many countries of the Muslim world. The study would adopt a critical yet objective approach in dealing with the issue. It is believed that the study would help the Muslim men and women to have clear insights on the issue based on the Shari`ah texts, scholars’ Fatawa and present day realities.

This paper is focused on the mechanics and deformation performance of mine stope after excavation. The deformation performance is described by the settlement of stope roof, and the mechanics performance is described by the plastic zone of rock mass surrounding stope. The numerical calculation software FLAC3D is used to simulate the deformation and failure situation of the rock mass surrounding complicated large underground stope. In the calculation, the excavation procedure for the stope is simulated. The mechanical method has been adopted to establish the analysis on the stope stability, the results are in accordance with the actual situations, and can help to more accurately predict location of failure. The conclusion can give some guidance for the real practice.

The Welfare State

The welfare state is, at its core, a problem-solving apparatus, designed to manage dysfunctions that are endemic to the economic and social life of modern nations. But welfare states also generate problems of their own—such as moral hazards, excessive bureaucracy, soaring costs, and labour market rigidities—that sometimes threaten to bring the whole enterprise into disrepute. ‘Problems’ shows that these issues are troubling and consequential, but in weighing their significance we ought always to ask: ‘what can be done?’ and ‘what are the alternatives?’ That the welfare state has its problems is undeniable. The real question is whether these problems are manageable and how they compare to those of other arrangements.

The Family

Today we observe the dynamic changes in relations between the sexes in the family, which appear as a result of economic, cultural, and social transformation, the growth of women’s economic strength, as well as the level of their education, and the development of the ideas of the equal rights of women and men in the labour market and in social life. Hitherto existing research results show that Poles are increasingly in favour of the egalitarian family model and declare their wish to build their relationships based on equality. In the article I will characterise our cultural context, in which the egalitarian relation of a man and a woman in a family is both an educational space of confrontation between the “old” concept of family life, often rooted in Parsons’ concept of the nuclear family, and the “new” one, specific for the socio-cultural breakthrough in Poland. I will also present the involvement of formal education in fixing stereotypical images of family life, which are in opposition to the changes observed in relations between women and men. At the end I will present my own concept of education for equality in the marital relations, as well as the frame of equality between spouses in marital relations as a value of upbringing, which are a response to the needs of contemporary women and men.

Religious Factor

It will be conducted in this article about the role of the religious factor, in particular the Muslim version, in the structure of the terrorist movement. The author shows that the terror under the banner of Islamic fundamentalism is due to the specific understanding of religion as the most convenient way of socialization of terrorist ideas. The complexity of relationships in the organization of international security is reflected in Muslim regional and international agreements, for example, in the general understanding of the phenomenon of international terrorism. Signs of terrorism have significant differences compared with the concept recognized by the international community. This fact plays an important role in assessing the prospects for approval of the draft Comprehensive Antiterrorist Convention by Muslim countries

AbstractThe concept of ummah embodies the universalism of Islam and provides a framework for religious unity, which accommodates the cultural diversity of believers. It is an important part of historical as well as contemporary discourse on Islam. This paper provides an overview of the development and evolution of the concept of ummah and its usage in Islamic discourse to explain the current social, political and economic conditions of the Muslim world. It reports the findings about ummah consciousness and its relationship to modernity in Muslim countries of Southeast Asia, South and Central Asia, and the Middle East. It will examine the impact of globalisation on the Islamic ummah and how it is shaping the emerging struggle between 'hybridity' and 'authenticity' among Muslims and Islamic movements. The paper will explore the challenges of this struggle and its sociological implications for the 'de-centering' of the Muslim world into multiple autonomous regions. It will argue that the future of the Muslim ummah may gain strength not as a unified and unitary community, but as a differentiated community consisting of ummahs representing different Islamic regions. Each regional ummah will possess and embody a unique character that has been moulded by the history and temperament of its people. The paper will conclude with some observations on the future religious, intellectual, economic and political trajectories of Muslim countries.

AbstrakAkhir-akhir ini industri kreatif berkembang seiring arus globalisasi dan pasar bebas. Kondisi ini menggairahkan industri-industri kreatif baru bermunculan yang dapat menjadi andalan suatu daerah bahkan menjadikan predikat kota kreatif. Industri kreatif yang berkembang di bidang desain tiap kota dapat meningkatkan citra daerahnya, meningkatkan devisa, dan mengatasi pengangguran. Ada empat penggerak kreatif yaitu akademisi, pemerintah, kreator, dan pengusaha yang menjadikan industri kreatif semakin subur. Berbagai cara telah dilakukan oleh empat unsur tersebut hingga suatu kota menjadi terkenal, maka perlu dikaji melalui metode telaah kepustakaan dan pengamatan dengan memperhatikan teori dari Williamson tentang jenis kewirausahaan dan Philip Plus tentang tahapan dalam berkanya kreatif. Hasil diperoleh bahwa akademisi mengarah ke jiwa wirausaha yang inovasi, pemerintah mengarah ke wirausaha yang meniru, kreator mengarah ke wirausaha yang hati-hati, dan pengusaha mengarah ke wirausaha yang pemalas. Untuk memperkuat pembahasan maka diperkuat oleh hasil karya nyata kewirausahaan sebagai inspirasi orang lain dan bermanfaat dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Kata Kunci: kewirausahaan, industri kreatif, kreator  AbstractLately, the creative industry has evolved by alongside the flow of globalization and free markets. This condition stimulates new creative industries emerging that can become a mainstay of an area even make the creative city becomes a predicate. Creative industries that develop in the design field every city can improve the image of the region, increase the number of foreign exchange, and tackling unemployment. There are four creative movers: academics, government, creators, and entrepreneurs that make the creative industry particularly fecund. Various ways have been done by the four elements until a city became famous, it needs to be studied through the method of literature and observation by taking into Williamson's theory of the type of entrepreneurship and Philip Plus’s theory of the stages in the creative work. The results obtained that academic has been leading to innovating entrepreneurship, the government has been leading to imitative entrepreneurship, creators have been leading to fabian entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurs have been leading to the drone entrepreneurship. To strengthen the discussion then reinforced by the real work of entrepreneurship as the inspiration of the others and useful in social life. Keywords: entrepreneurship, creative industry, creators
