The Impact

Technology is rapidly evolving in this 21st century era. It is a marvel to behold as it makes human lives much easier. With advancement of technology and increase of vehicles and factories, pollution and destruction of natural resources has increased on a huge scale. The study is based on a product substitute, introduced to replace vehicles which run on gasoline, with a hybrid of electric and gasoline vehicles. The objective of this research will be aiming at understanding the effect of hybrid cars on the environment. An analysis of the hybrid cars will be carried out along with evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of said vehicles from the perspective of customers, support and maintenance. The research will also aim on proposing a government policy that must be implemented to regulate the usage of hybrid vehicles. The methodology used for this research will consist of primary sources wherein meetings will be conducted with the company selling such cars or people who own them. Secondary sources will include literature review from research papers and online blogs. With this study, the researchers hope to achieve a clear understanding on the influence of hybrid cars on the environment and individuals, the way hybrid cars operate, its advantages and disadvantages and the proposed government policy that will regulate the impact of hybrid car on environment.

In the social and economic transition, the Higher Education in Albania has tremendously ocercomed its capacities and the opportunities offered. Albania is considered the champion country in Europe for the high number of universities. Besides the public universities, in the country also operate dozens of private universities. in Albania there are about 20 universities per million inhabitants, (161500 students for a population of 2,8 million people), nearly eight times more than countries like UK that have internationalized higher education and have a very large percentage of foreign students. This paper takes into account the development of higher education and the responsible institutions of this development during the transition in Albania, the current structure of universities, the financial problems and the reform of higher education. It also examines issues such as: the measurement of quality, the ranking and the competition between public universities and private institutions. Then the focus of the paper runs on the employment of the young graduates who have finished albanian universities in the last five years. Firstly, relying on foreign literature, I have analyzed some of the main models of employment of graduates, their skills in the labor market, and also the changes that have occurred in the careers of the graduates in the last century. for the extraction of data are used questionnaires distributed electronically to over 230 employees that have brought significant conclusions about the employment of graduates in Albania, as well as the impact of such factors as: GPA, the training, the number of foreign languages spoken and other qualifications and skills that affect the level of salary and their position at work. Also starting from the above models, the scope is to identify the key elements that affect the careers of albanian graduates, and the key factors that have driven their employment. In the end of the paper are given some conclusions and recommendations on how higher education in Albania should be reformed, given by the sample responses of the interviewers, but also by a concrete analysis of the problems that are facing this sector in Albania, and how this reformation of higher education can increase its fruits on more qualified and employed youths in their respective fields. The methodology used is mainly from primary sources, ranging from the data collected by the respondents, as well as from secondary sources of data published for this area of study. The main limitation of such a work is the limited number of samples under the survey, the data of whom has been generalized for all the population of the paper.

Labour Regulation

In the agrarian context of the early 20th century, networks of experts and interest groups were created. These formed institutions across state borders to achieve prestige derived from their supranational character and ostensible technical and scientific capacity. The objective of this article is to analyse the impact in Spain of the International Institute of Agriculture (IIA), from the year of its creation until the advent of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, through the lens of the “social question”: a concept that popularized the proposals and disagreements surrounding labour regulation. The research draws from the latest contributions in transnational history and internationalism, recent secondary sources about the IIA and primary sources that reflect how transnational IIA networks worked in and with Spain to address agricultural labour issues. The article concludes that the intensely transnational connections between agrarian elites, owners and technicians in the early 20th century transformed social relations in agriculture and agrarian public policies in Spain.

Objectives: Starting from the tobacco economy, this paper studies the “surge phenomenon” of macro-economy in developing countries. Methods: This paper studies the impact of tobacco industry on Anhui economy by using the relevant theories of industrial economics, econometrics and regulatory economics, combined with the actual situation of tobacco industry. Based on the analysis of the overall development of tobacco industry, this paper empirically analyzes the relationship between tobacco industry and Anhui economic growth. This paper combs the relevant literature of the existing research results of this theory. Combined with the special fact that government investment accounts for a large proportion in China’s current economic construction, this paper redefines the hypothesis of the investor in the theory of principles. On this basis, the expected equilibrium results of enterprise investment decision-making under government led and market led modes are compared and analyzed by using incomplete information static game model. Results: When the output value of tobacco industry increases by 1%, it will drive the GDP to increase by 0.373%. Secondly, by comparing the economic benefits of tobacco with the social costs of tobacco, it is found that with the economic development, the social costs caused by tobacco increase year by year, but the economic benefits are slightly greater than the social costs. The difference between the two is also increasing year by year. Conclusion: In the context of tobacco control, we should fully consider the advantages and disadvantages of developing the tobacco industry. Under the excessive intervention of the government, the manifestation of the surge phenomenon is more intense, and the final consequence of overcapacity is more serious than that under the market-oriented mode..

This chapter examines the impacts of social media on children. Advantages and disadvantages of social media are always available. Positive aspects of social media include allowing children to be brought up as multicultural individuals, enabling education and training environments to design for purposes, using as the main or supplementary source of education, a great power in creating and sharing information. Its negative aspects include leading to a reduction of their academic, social, and cognitive skills in the early periods when children were exposed to the social media, causing the children to develop obesity, mostly bringing up as consumption-centered individuals, perceive the world as a screenshot, and have low critical, creative, and reflective thinking skills. Therefore, one of the most important tasks undertaken to reduce or eliminate the negative effects is to raise and educate media-literate individuals.

Abstract This article explores the current literature on ‘research impact’ in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). By providing a comprehensive review of available literature, drawing on national and international experiences, we take a systematic look at the impact agenda within SSH. The primary objective of this article is to examine key methodological components used to assess research impact comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The study finds that research impact is a highly complex and contested concept in the SSH literature. Drawing on the strong methodological pluralism emerging in the literature, we conclude that there is considerable room for researchers, universities, and funding agencies to establish impact assessment tools directed towards specific missions while avoiding catch-all indicators and universal metrics.

<p class="06IsiAbstrak">Menghormati ahlulbait adalah salah satu anjuran agama yang mulai diabaikan di komunitas sosial sebab mengabaikan pemahaman tekstual dan kontekstual dalam hadis. padahal mengabaikan pemahaman hadis yang komprehensif dapat menimbulkan ketidaktepatan dalam tindakan. Pemahaman menghormati ahlulbait mengalami dinamika teologis antara sunni maupun syi’ah, sehingga persoalan tersebut perlu dikembalikan dengan sumber primer keislaman yakni al-Qur’an dan Hadis.  Melalui teori pemahaman hadis tekstual dan kontekstual tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa menghormati ahlulbait adalah tindakan yang harus selektif, dalam ubudiyah adalah diikuti namun tidak bersikap fanatis, sedang dalam dimensi mu’amalah maka semua dikembalikan kepada kesahihan sanad dan pemahaman matan hadis melalui kitab syarah. Hasil dari tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa menghormati ahlulbait memiliki sanad hadis yang sahih dan hasan tanpa adanya sekaligus mendudukkan bersama perihal pandangan sunni dan syi’ah yang saling mengklaim satu sama lain, bedanya ahlulbait dalam sunni memiliki cakupan yang luas, sedang dalam syi’ah ahlulbait hanya sebatas Nabi Muhammad saw, Siti Fatimah, sahabat ‘Ali Ibn Thalib <em>karramallahu wajha, </em>sayyidina Hasan dan Husein. Adapun dampak menghornati ahlulbait adalah memiliki pikiran yang baik (<em>al-husnu al-dzan</em>), memiliki paras menawan (<em>ahsan al-nas</em>), dan memiliki perangai yang bagus (<em>al-akhlak al-karimah</em>).</p><p class="06IsiAbstrak">[<span class="jlqj4b"><strong><span lang="EN">Study of Hadith Respecting Ahlulbait: From Textualist to Contextualist Understanding</span></strong><span lang="EN">. Respecting ahlulbait is one of the religious advices that is starting to be ignored in the social community because it ignores textual and contextual understanding in hadith. whereas ignoring a comprehensive understanding of hadith can lead to inaccuracies in action. The understanding of respect for ahlulbait experiences theological dynamics between sunni and shia, so this issue needs to be returned to the primary sources of Islam, namely the Qur'an and Hadith. Through the theory of understanding textual and contextual hadith, this paper concludes that respecting ahlulbait is an act that must be selective, in ubudiyah it is to be followed but not to be fanatical, while in the mu'amalah dimension, everything is returned to the validity of the sanad and understanding the matan of hadith through the syarah book. The results of this paper conclude that respecting ahlulbait has a hadith that is valid and hasan without any presence at the same time sitting together regarding the views of sunni and shia who claim each other, the difference is that ahlulbait in sunni has a broad scope, while in shia ahlulbait only limited to the Prophet Muhammad, Siti Fatimah, </span><span lang="IN">shahabat</span><span lang="EN"> 'Ali Ibn Talib karramallahu wajha, Sayyidina Hasan and Husein.

The Impact

The main problem in this article is how the implementation of halal product guarantees creates a barrier to entry based on Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee according to the Dispute Settlement Body Decision number 484. The research method uses a juridical normative approach. Juridical normative research has two sources of law, namely primary and secondary sources of law. Primary sources of law refer to the Dispute Settlement Body Decision Number 484 and Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee. The secondary source of law refers to the book by Huala Adolf entitled International Trade Law. The results of the study indicate that the Dispute Settlement Body decision has binding power for the Indonesian state because Indonesia is part of the WTO. This decision also gave the impact of creating uncertainty in the law, especially regarding the Halal Product Guarantee. The efforts of the Indonesian state to protect the Halal Product Guarantee by making an appeal to the Dispute Settlement Body, although the results are still not in accordance with what Indonesia wants.
