The application of social research methods in cybersecurity requires a multidisciplinary combination since the security of technologies and communication networks is made up of a set of uses, techniques, and results directly conditioned by the parameters of confidentiality, data availability, integrity, and privacy. However, each of these technological concepts is prepared and subject to conditions of use that involve ethical, sociological, economic, and legal aspects. Firstly, social engineering techniques in cybercrime tend to combine social investigation techniques with computational engineering and telecommunications elements. Secondly, research on cybersecurity phenomena in industrial environments implies the adaptation to the organizational specificity of each sector. In this chapter, the social research topics commonly addressed by leading companies and researchers in cybersecurity at a global level are analyzed from a comparative point of view, extracting a taxonomy of social research on cybersecurity.

Trabajo Social

La ética como elemento práctico fundamenta el interés del Trabajo Social en las personas y sus características, fomentando el desarrollo de la autonomía, restableciendo el ejercicio de los derechos y promoviendo la dignificación de las personas. Estos objetivos, trasladados a la investigación social, se concretan en situar al individuo en el centro de la acción investigadora, propiciando su participación en el proceso. En esta línea, se presenta una investigación social cuya metodología se ha diseñado desde dicha perspectiva ética. A través de este ejemplo, se cimienta la importancia de la metodología de carácter cualitativo -y sus herramientas de recogida de información- como método para la aproximación a la realidad de los propios protagonistas. Finalmente, se expone como resultado que los sujetos han sentido su participación en la investigación como un paso hacia el reconocimiento de sus capacidades, a la vez que se reflexiona sobre la importancia de conocer la realidad desde la mirada de las personas protagonistas de los hechos. Ethics, as a practical element, infuses interest in the Social Work of people and their personal characteristics. It encourages the development of autonomy, restores the exercise of rights, and promotes people's human dignity. When transferred to the field social research, these objectives are reached by setting individuals at the center stage of the research activity, thereby directly promoting their participation in the process. Following this line, we present a social investigation articulated via a methodology developed according to the aforementioned ethical perspective. This study underscores the importance of our methodology's qualitative perspective, from the tools it uses to collect data, to its ability as a method to better approximate the actual reality of its protagonists. Our results suggest that participants view their collaboration in the research positively, as it provides them a step forward in gaining recognition for their abilities. Finally, it contributes further to the issue regarding the importance of understanding social reality from the point of view of its protagonists.

Islamic Jurisprudence

Islamic jurisprudence is a dynamic system. It is facilitated by some flexible methodologies. Nowadays, there are varieties of issues in Muslims’ societies that are results or implications of developments in science and technology, and also results of changes that happen in the structures of the societies. In order to face these realities, a contemporary integrative approach has to be applied in Islamic Law's research process. In accordance to this, this paper will elaborate the integrative approaches that try to unify and integrate theories in Islamic jurisprudence with social research methods. Basically, there are models that have been introduced by several Islamic thinkers that related to this integrative approach. For example the Islamization of sociology based on maslahah model, the Islamic Jurisprudence sociology model, the unified approach to textual and contextual analysis model. All of these models contain their own strength and weakness in their integrative approaches. This paper is trying to introduce an approach that integrates Islamic jurisprudence theories with the gender analysis method that is among social critics methods. This introduced method is to be used to analyze an issue in fiqh pertaining to polygamy that is always been debated nowadays and also to analyze the applicability of the practice in the social and contemporary conditions of our country. According to this research, social research methods are able to support Islamic jurisprudence in order to improve its research process and its results.

Justeru, artikel ini akan menjelaskan pendekatan integratif yang cuba menyatukan dan mengintegrasikan teori hukum Islam dengan kaedah penyelidikan sosial. Pada asasnya, terdapat model yang telah diperkenalkan oleh beberapa pemikir Islam berkaitan dengan pendekatan integratif ini. Sebagai contoh Islamisasi ilmu sosiologi berdasarkan model maslahah, model model sosiologi hukum Islam, model pendekatan bersepadu dalam analisis tekstual dan kontekstual. Semua model ini mengandungi kekuatan dan kelemahan dalam pendekatan integratif yang tersendiri. Lantaran itu, kajian ini cuba memperkenalkan satu pendekatan yang mengintegrasikan teori hukum Islam dengan kaedah analisis gender yang merupakan salah satu metodologi kritik sosial. Kaedah ini diperkenalkan untuk digunakan dalam menganalisis isu fiqh berkaitan poligami yang sentiasa menjadi perbahasan pada masa kini serta melihat kesesuaiannya dalam konteks sosial dan kemodenan negara ini. Kajian mendapati, kaedah penyelidikan sosial dapat menyokong kajian hukum Islam dalam usaha meningkatkan kualiti proses penyelidikan dan hasil dapatannya.   Kata kunci: Pendekatan integratif; hukum Islam; sains sosial; analisis gender; poligami

At present, there are various types of problems in Muslim societies which are the results or implications of the development of science and technology, and also the results of changes that occur in the structure of society. To deal with this reality, an integrated contemporary approach must be applied in the process of Islamic law research. Therefore, this article will try to outline an integrated approach to unite and integrate theories in Islamic law with social research methods. Basically, there are several models that have been introduced by several scholars relating to this integrated approach. All models have their strengths and weaknesses in this integrated approach. This article attempts to analyze the integration of Islamic legal theories with the methods of gender analysis and their relationship to the methods of social criticism. This is related to the problems in fiqh related to polygamy which are always debated until now and also to analyze the application of practices in the social and contemporary conditions of our society.

AbstractThis review discusses a number of recent publications in the methodology of empirical social research. With one exception, all publications reviewed are in German and the point of view governing their evaluation is their significance for the teaching of sociology. By this we are referring to, on the one hand, their suitability for integrating instruction in empirical research methods into sociological curricula generally and, on the other side, to the question if the measure of consideration given in them to techniques of learning is sufficient to make them commentable for classroom use.

Non-payment of alimony by parents for their children is a serious problem in Poland, which has negative social and economic consequences. It results in the inability to satisfy the necessary needs for their proper development and thus deprives them of prospects and a chance for a dignified life. This article begins by explaining the concept of non-alimony and presenting the scale of the phenomenon to gain awareness of the size of this social problem. In the following part, an analysis was carried out on the social aspects of non-alimony. This issue was described from the point of view of the situation of mothers who were forced to take over the entire burden of supporting their children, without the support of former partners. The consequences of the economic abandonment of children by one of the parents are also presented. The social aspect has also been discussed through the prism of the social campaigns conducted over the last few years to shape the correct attitudes of parents. Due to the fact that in Poland the phenomenon of non-alimony is considered primarily in the legal context, the subsequent part of the article presents a synthetic analysis in this respect. It focuses on the changes that the Polish legislator has introduced into the domestic legal system over the last 3 years. The discussion of this issue began with the offence of non-alimony regulated in Article 209 of the Penal Code, due to its amendment in 2017. It was supposed to become an effective tool to mobilise obliged parents to fulfil their obligation to support their children. Further amendments to the legislation were also reviewed in order to further improve the effectiveness of the enforcement of maintenance support.
