The practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district has been going on for generations. The society considers that the implementation of this sawah (paddy field) mortgage as an appropriate alternative and solution of financing. In fact, it often causes problems between both parties; despite it is completed with written evidence and witnesses in its implementation.The research problem in this study is: How is the practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district, Bondowoso regency. How is the practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in the perspective of sharia economic law. How are the solutions for the practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district, Bondowoso regency in the perspective of sharia economic law. The aim of this study is to describe the practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district, Bondowoso regency, to describe sawah (paddy field) mortgage in the perspective of sharia economic law and to describe the solutions for the practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district, Bondowoso Regency in the perspective of sharia economic law. This study is expected to provide beneficial input for the development of sharia economic law, so that it can enrich the body knowledge related to sawah (paddy field) mortgage. It is also hoped to give answers to the problems studied and considered as socialization among societies. This study applied qualitative research approach and a field case study was chosen as the research design. The data analysis was performed by using Miles and Huberman analysis model.The results showed that the practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district takes place for the reason of urgent need from the society themselves. It is based on the agreement of both parties, rahin and murtahin. The agreement is set forth in the letter of agreement, which rahin borrows money to murtahin with sawah (paddy field) as the bail. The utilization of marhun is handed over to murtahin based on the permission given by rahin until the due date of repayment. When the due date of repayment comes and rahin has not been able to pay off the money, so the utilization of marhun is still taken by murtahin. If it lasts for years and rahin still cannot pay the money, he can sell out the sawah (paddy field) to repay his debts. Based on the perspective of sharia economic law, the practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district, Bondowoso regency have fulfilled the elements of an akad (contract in Islam), in which the terms and conditions are agreed upon by both parties; rahin/mortgager and murtahin/sawah (paddy field) owner. The utilization of marhun is taken by murtahin based on the permission of rahin, but in the fact of its utilization, it still contains the element of riba (usury) taking advantages for years. The practice of sawah (paddy field) mortgage in Tamanan district, Bondowoso regency should apply the concept of bay 'al-wafa instead of rahn.

This book is an introduction to quantitative research design and data analysis presented in the context of music education scholarship. The book aims for readers to come away with a familiarity of prototypical research design possibilities as well as a fundamental understanding of data analysis techniques necessary for carrying out scientific inquiry. The book includes examples that demonstrate how the methodological and statistical concepts presented throughout can be applied to pertinent issues in music education. For the majority of Part I, the strategy is to present traditional design categories side by side with explanations of general analytical approaches for dealing with data yielded from each respective design type. Part II consists of chapters devoted to methodological and analytical approaches that have become common in related fields (e.g., psychology, sociology, general education research, educational policy) but are as yet not frequently exploited by music education researchers. Ultimately, this work is motivated by a desire to help scholars acquire the means to actualize their research curiosities and to contribute to the advancement of rigor in music education research throughout the profession at large.

Cyberstalking is a growing anti-social problem being transformed on a large scale and in various forms. Cyberstalking detection has become increasingly popular in recent years and has technically been investigated by many researchers. However, cyberstalking victimization, an essential part of cyberstalking, has empirically received less attention from the paper community. This paper attempts to address this gap and develop a model to understand and estimate the prevalence of cyberstalking victimization. The model of this paper is produced using routine activities and lifestyle exposure theories and includes eight hypotheses. The data of this paper is collected from the 757 respondents in Jordanian universities. This review paper utilizes a quantitative approach and uses structural equation modeling for data analysis. The results revealed a modest prevalence range is more dependent on the cyberstalking type. The results also indicated that proximity to motivated offenders, suitable targets, and digital guardians significantly influences cyberstalking victimization. The outcome from moderation hypothesis testing demonstrated that age and residence have a significant effect on cyberstalking victimization. The proposed model is an essential element for assessing cyberstalking victimization among societies, which provides a valuable understanding of the prevalence of cyberstalking victimization. This can assist the researchers and practitioners for future research in the context of cyberstalking victimization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the biggest disruptive events of recent decades and has had a global effect on society and the economy. The political regulations resulting from COVID-19 also led to significant changes in physical grocery shopping. However, the specific impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction at the customer end of retail supply chains, i.e., the point-of-sale (PoS), has not yet been addressed. By gathering and analyzing consumer satisfaction data (ratings) and sentiments (evaluation comments) available on the open web, the current study evaluates the impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction at the PoS. Focusing on the five biggest retail chains in Austria, the results show that there was a general and significant decline in consumer satisfaction due to the pandemic. The results also show a high impact of political regulations on consumer satisfaction. Furthermore, the text-mining based analysis of evaluation comments indicate that store layout and facilities, as well as product availability and waiting time had a great impact on consumer satisfaction. In total, over 533,000 consumer satisfaction ratings and over 153,000 textual comments have been analyzed, providing the basis for a comprehensive and sound discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction and perceptions. Future research could focus on applying the used data analysis technique and the adapted consumer sentiment dimensions in different settings, such as countries other than Austria or smaller retail chains.

Globally, the numbers of children living in conflict zones and displaced by war have risen dramatically over the past two decades, and with this, scholarly attention to the impacts of war on children. More recently, researchers have examined how war-affected children are being studied, revealing important shortcomings. These limitations relate to the lack of child participation in research, the need for researchers to engage children in the research process as “active agents” rather than “passive objects” under study, as well as the need for researchers to pay closer attention to ethical dilemmas associated with researching war-affected children. To address these realities, innovative research methods that can be adapted across diverse sociocultural contexts are warranted. In light of these shortcomings, our research team integrated two arts-based methods: mask-making and drawing, alongside traditional qualitative data collection methods with a particularly marginalized population of young people: children born in captivity within the Lord’s Resistance Army in northern Uganda. In this article, we provide information on the context of northern Uganda. We describe how the use of mask-making and drawing was used as data gathering tools and the ways in which these arts-based methods had important benefits for the research participants, researchers, and impacted on the validity of the research as a whole. We propose that the use of these participatory visual methods enriched the themes elicited through more traditional methods. The article describes how these arts-based mediums fostered community building among children typically excluded from their communities and were successful as a tool to build trust between participants and the research team when exploring sensitive topics. The article concludes with implications for future research with war-affected children.

To contain the COVID-19 pandemic, governments all over the world implemented strong lockdown measures to a large part of the population, including the closing of educational centres. Teachers were urged to transform their teaching methodology, moving from a face-to-face model to an emergency remote education (ERE) model, characterised by the use of technologies to continue with lectures and maintain the physical distance with the students. The aim of the present study was to analyse the existence of socio-digital inequalities and the educational challenges posed by the development of an ERE model, hence, contributing to the literature by proposing a systematic and holistic approach on this phenomenon. Based on the characteristics of the research problem and the objectives set, a qualitative methodology was applied. On the one hand, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 136 active teachers as the main data gathering technique. On the other hand, grounded theory was key in interpreting the results, with the aim of generating the theory in a systematic and holistic manner. It can be asserted that ERE was very useful during the lockdown of schools, and its potential to transform education was demonstrated. However, it was also shown that the development of an ERE model can cause socio-digital inequalities among students, due to the lack of access to digital devices and Internet connection, mainly due to factors, such as the socio-educational level of the family and the rural or urban context of the centre.
