Economic Justice in the Light of the Prophet’s Biography

Economic injustice is a major cause of social troubles in most of the countries of the world and Pakistan is no exception. The rich in Pakistan are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer. We need to look for a solution. Fortunately, our Islamic teachings are best suited to provide a solution through the study of teachings of the Prophet (SAW), his companions and the religious jurists. Economic injustice has increased poverty and the health of the nation especially of poor classes is deteriorating. The social values are becoming weak and even crimes like theft, fraud and looting are becoming common because of unemployment. The income of people is decreasing due to covid'19 and people are forced to become selfish. There is a great need to bring economic justice in Pakistan through the study of Seerah e Nabvi (SAW). Our Prophet (SAW) was able to build an equitable economic system under his own leadership. In his days people were benevolent and they rejected oppression and aggression. We should be able to know the methods which he adopted to bring reforms in the economic field in the state of Madinah. This study includes an introduction, its importance, the research plan and methods, the concept of economic justice and cultivating economic values in the Muslim society.

The Form and Content of Ọbasa’s Weekly Newspaper: The Yorùbá News

The Yorubà News, published by Obasa ̣ , co-pioneered journalism, nay publishing, in Yorùbá language in southwestern Nigeria. Based in Ìbàdan and ̀ published by Ìlarè Printers, ̣́ The Yorùbá News, a bi-lingual serial in English and Yorùbá languages, remarkably had varying contents and wide circulation covering its locale, Íbàdan significantly; the southern protectorate, particularly Yorùbá land appreciably; and the entire nation, Nigeria marginally. Published weekly, Obasa – the Editor and Proprietor – successfully edited ̣ The Yorubà News ́ for over two decades from 1924 – 1945 when he died. Adopting the Diffusion of Innovations theory, this study examines the form and content of the newspaper. The form examines the structure and layout of the newspaper while the content discusses and evaluates issues covered in the publication. The form of The Yorùbá News is discussed in the context of the print media as a periodical by taking technical cognizance of its physical features: format, design and layout, typography, columns, paper, size and production quality. Content-wise, the paper exhaustively describes the subject matters of The Yorubà News ́ by dwelling critically on the issues raised, examining in details and critiquing its recurrent subject matters notably: the news stories, editorials, cover, advertorials, news and notes, etc. The inter-dependence of form and content is also examined to bring to the fore the social, cultural, political, and economic values of the maiden Yorùbá Newspaper: The Yorùbá News.

GÜZELYURT – ABBASLAR ARASINDAKİ (DULKADİROĞLU – KAHRAMANMARAŞ) KAYAÇLARIN PETROGRAFİK EVRİMİ VE EKONOMİK POTANSİYELLERİ

The study area between subdistrict Güzelyurt, 11 km southeast of the city Kahramanmaraş and the Abbaslar village. Mesosoic and Senosoic age units are obsorved in the field the oldest units are tectonites, the parts of the ophiolitics series which moved into the field by mounting in the Upper Kretase. Serpantinites which are formed by the alteration of partically or completely serpantinized and harzburgite and peridotites, form the tectonites. Tectonically bordered Paleosen-Eosen limestones have came into ophiolitic series. The youngest units in the area are plateau basalts which are the results of Cretase-aged volcanism. Besides, they have proved to the different from the basalts of the ophiolitic series because they have been spilitised as regarded with the appereans in the area and they don’t show cushion flow. These rocks, defined as olivined basalt after the microscopic studies. Peridotites in the ophiolite series in the study area are noteworthy because they contain chromite. The chromites in the region take place in the peridotites as scattered grains and small pockets. Detailed studies are needed to reveal the economic values of chromites in a healthy way. Especially west of Denizli village and north of Tevekkeli village can be suggested as places where work should be intensified. However, limestones and basalts in the formations cropping out in the study area are used as building blocks in small and large settlements in the region.

Ecosystem Service Modelling to Support Nature-Based Flood Water Management in the Vietnamese Mekong River Delta

Deltas are among the most productive and diverse global ecosystems. However, these regions are highly vulnerable to natural disasters and climate change. Nature-based solutions (Nbs) have been increasingly adopted in many deltas to improve their resilience. Among decision support tools, assessment of ecosystem services (ES) through spatially explicit modelling plays an important role in advocating for Nbs. This study explores the use of the Land Utilisation and Capability Indicator (LUCI) model, a high-resolution model originally developed in temperate hill country regions, to map changes in multiple ecosystem services (ES), along with their synergies and trade-offs, between 2010 and 2018 in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). In so doing, this study contributes to the current knowledge in at least two aspects: high-resolution ES modelling in the VMD, and the combination of ES biophysical and economic values within the VMD to support Nbs implementation. To date, this is the highest resolution (5 by 5 m) ES modelling study ever conducted in the VMD, with ~1500 million elements generated per ES. In the process of trialling implementations of LUCI within the VMD’s unique environmental conditions and data contexts, we identify and suggest potential model enhancements to make the LUCI model more applicable to the VMD as well as other tropical deltaic regions. LUCI generated informative results in much of the VMD for the selected ES (flood mitigation, agriculture/aquaculture productivity, and climate regulation), but challenges arose around its application to a new agro-hydrological regime. To address these challenges, parameterising LUCI and reconceptualising some of the model’s mechanisms to specifically account for the productivity and flood mitigation capability of water-tolerant crops as well as flooding processes of deltaic regions will improve future ES modelling in tropical deltaic areas. The ES maps showed the spatial heterogeneity of ES across the VMD. Next, to at least somewhat account for the economic drivers which need to be considered alongside biophysical valuations for practical implementations of ES maps for nature-based solutions (Nbs) in the upstream VMD, economic values were assigned to different parcels using a benefit transfer approach. The spatially explicit ES economic value maps can inform the design of financing incentives for Nbs. The results and related work can be used to support the establishment of Nbs that ultimately contribute to the security of local farmers’ livelihoods and the sustainability of the VMD.

Influence of different options of intra-varietal pollination on seed productivity and economic values of sweet pepper

The use of intra-varietal crossing is an important element to increase seed yield and improve a variety. The aim of the research was to identify the influence of different options of intra-varietal pollination of sweet pepper on seed productivity and other quantitative traits. It has been established, that re-pollination of sweet pepper within the variety in relation to self-pollination causes a reduction in the offspring of the period before fruit ripening by 3–7 days. For all options of pollination, there was also a significant increase in plant height by 7–8 cm, fruit weight by 7–16 g, the number of fruits on a plant by 2–6 units. Different methods of re-pollination of plants significantly affected fruit productivity, increasing it by 62–106 %, increased seed yield from one fruit by 28 %. Seed productivity of sweet pepper plants increased by 78–163 % when re-pollination was used. Options of using the pollen of different flowers (from 2–5 other plants) showed the greatest effect. This technique is one way to increase the yield of sweet pepper seeds

Identification of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis), and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) using deep learning

Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis), and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) have important economic values for the capture fisheries in Indonesia. Activities of identifying these fish and other types of tuna have been done manually, which can lead to errors and ultimately affect statistics, stock estimates, or traceability. The aim of this research is to use deep learning methods in identifying three species of tuna, specifically yellowfin tuna, mackerel tuna, and skipjack tuna. YOLO’s newest model, YOLOv5, was used to identify the fish. The number of epochs that produces the optimum accuracy value for use in the YOLOv5 model is 400. The values for training loss, accuracy, precision, recall and F1-Score when the model is learning with a total of 400 epochs are 0.000253, 95%, 98.1%, 93.9%, and 96%. Based on these results, the three species of tuna can be identified with high accuracy.

Pengalihan Wakaf oleh Sarak Opat di Aceh Tengah Ditinjau Hukum Islam dan Hukum Adat

Waqf is one of the institutions of Islamic social institutions that contain socio-economic values that are expected to help to realize social welfare that benefits can be enjoyed together. However, there are many problems related to waqf land, one of which is the change in the designation of waqf land-based on adat meetings. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the legal position of waqf land that has changed its designation and implementation of waqf in Central Aceh District based on Islamic Law and Customary Law in terms of the Law. The research in this thesis uses the normative juridical approach The specification of the research conducted is analytical descriptive. Based on the results of this study, the legal status of waqf land that has been represented cannot be used if it is not in accordance with the waqf pledge, but there are exceptions to the waqf land that can be changed its designation and must follow the procedure for changes stipulated by Law Number 41 of 2004 Execution of existing land parcels in Central Aceh Regency, Islamic Law has been implemented correctly, but the state administration has not been implemented to the maximum.
