Da'wa Model Based on Brand Community Value: Qaryah Thayibah Implementation for Villages Fostered by 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo

Islamic da'wa's performance is highly influenced by the techniques and tactics used in conjunction with the preaching object. 'Aisyiyah applies a Qoryah Thayyibah group-based da’wa model that is expected to become the Brand Community Value. Each Regional Leader must enforce this program with a minimum of three supported villages. The purpose of Qoryah Thayyibah, in general, is to establish an advanced and dignified Islamic society. This study aimed to identify the implementation of the Qoryah Thayyibah program and the obstacles faced by 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo. The qualitative literary approach was used in this analysis. Accordingly, the data collection was through documentation (identification of documents), observation, and interviews. The inductive reasoning was also used in the analysis to see how the Qoryah Thayyibah program is implemented, and the conclusion was taken from the general statement to a particular statement. The primary sources were the results of interviews with the management of 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo, interviews with Qoryah Thayyibah PW East Java and PDA Ponorogo, the results of Tanwir relevant to Qoryah Thayyibah and supported by other sources, such as articles, documents or writings on the official PDA website of ‘Aisyiyah Ponorogo. 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo has successfully applied the Qoryah Thayyibah in five of the eight intended fields. They faced obstacles in several fields, including spirituality, education, economics, and health.

Grand ideas or delusions of grandeur? Placing big thinkers and essential theories in property economics research

PurposeThis article is looking to reflect on the various important touchstones of “grand theory” and “big thinkers” that can be framed when engaging empirical evidence in property economics research.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is reflexive in nature, using experiential reflection to consider theory in property economics. The importance of “methodology” is emphasised rather than “method”.FindingsUsing reflexive mode, the paper does not have “findings” as such: if the views expressed are accepted, then a research agenda to better understand property economics research is implied.Research limitations/implicationsThe nature of reflection is that it follows from the writer's experiential processes and interpretations. The reader may come from a different stance. Broadly accepting the propositions, there is a call for property economics research to be formulated in reason and logic, particularly as humans do not reason from facts alone. Such reasoned thinking could for example be in the property economic concepts of space and place, contracts and justice, capital and financialisation.Practical implicationsTo engage with such theory would provide some depth of philosophical roots for property as a discipline. Elevating property as a “real-world” discipline rather than simply an applied mathematics discipline.Social implicationsThe paper enables an understanding of how property economics research can benefit from more ontology and more inductive reasoning.Originality/valueThe paper reflects the views and experience of the author based on over 15 years of research in property economics.

SUSTENTABILIDADE NA PISCICULTURA EM TANQUES REDE: FATORES ECONÔMICOS, SOCIAIS E AMBIENTAIS NA MICRORREGIÃO DE JALES/SP

O estudo foca a área da Tilapicultura, criação de peixes em tanques-rede em Santa Fé do Sul, que ganhou expressividade no Estado, como a maior produtora em toneladas. A localidade é formada pelos Rios Grande e Paranaíba, que resultam no represamento da Usina Hidrelétrica de Ilha Solteira-SP. A cidade transformou-se em polo dinâmico de produção, destacando-se sua produção estimada (formal e informal) para a safra 2018/2019 de 40.320.000 quilogramas. Todavia, a microrregião de Jales, no âmbito da jurisdição forense de Santa Fé do Sul, também sente as consequências negativas decorrentes da atividade, mormente os impactos ambientais no sistema hídrico, seguidos dos impactos sociais. Nesse cenário, poderiam se alavancar e maximizar os aspectos econômicos produzidos, além de contribuir para evitar esses prejuízos causados ao meio ambiente e social, dentre os quais mencionam-se: o conhecimento, a formação, a orientação de profissionais capacitados, e com este estudo, dentre outros, destacar os principais impactos econômicos, ambientais e sociais causados pela tilapicultura na microrregião de Jales, sobretudo em Santa Fé do Sul, e elencar boas práticas na tilapicultura. A pesquisa bibliográfica realizada nos acervos públicos e privados e na rede virtual disponível será a base do estudo, sintetizada por meio dos raciocínios dedutivo e indutivo que levarão às conclusões. Deste modo, entendeu-se que as proposições iniciais desta tese foram contempladas em sua maior parte. Acredita-se que este estudo contribuirá para o conhecimento da área, o planejamento, a orientação dos produtores de peixes de modo geral. Concluiu-se que o cultivo de tilápias em tanques-rede na microrregião de Jales se deu, até o presente momento, de forma aleatória, por meio de um processo “praticamente casual”, que não se construiu de modo orientado, planejado, técnico, científico; pelo contrário, os produtores em geral, até mesmo os que atualmente são considerados grandes, iniciaram suas produções de forma “leiga”, intuitivamente, instintivamente, sem um mínimo de conhecimento técnico, acadêmico, profissional, real, sólido e seguro sobre o assunto. SUSTAINABILITY IN FISH FARMING IN POND CULTURE: ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN THE MICROREGION OF JALES/SP ABSTRACT The study covers the area of the pond culture of tilapia, fish farming in ponds in Santa Fé do Sul, which has gained expressiveness in the State, as the largest producer in tons. The location is formed by the Grande and Paranaíba Rivers, which result from the damming of the Ilha Solteira-SP hydroelectric plant. The city has become a dynamic production center, with an estimated production (formal and informal) for the 2018/2019 harvest of 40,320,000 kilograms. However, the micro-region of Jales, under the jurisdiction of Santa Fé do Sul, also feels the negative consequences resulting from the activity, especially the environmental impacts on the water system, followed by social impacts. In this scenario, the economic aspects produced might be maximized and leveraged, in addition to contributing to avoid these environmental and social damages, among which are included: knowledge, training, and orientation from capable professionals, and with this study, among others, to highlight the main economic, environmental, and social impacts caused by in the microregion of Jales, especially in Santa Fé do Sul, and to list good practices in the pond culture of tilapia. The bibliographical research conducted in public and private collections and in the available virtual network will be the basis of the study, synthesized by means of deductive and inductive reasoning that will lead to the conclusions. Therefore, it was understood that the initial propositions of this thesis were mostly contemplated. It is believed that this study will contribute to the knowledge of the area, planning, and the orientation of fish producers in general. It was concluded that the culture of tilapias in ponds in the micro-region of Jales has happened, up to this very moment, in a random way, through a "practically casual" process, that has not been built in an oriented, planned, technical, scientific way; on the contrary, the producers in general, even the ones that are currently considered as large, started their productions in a " non-technical" way, intuitively, instinctively, without a minimum of technical, academic, professional, real, solid, and safe knowledge on the subject. Keywords: Pond culture of tilapia; Best practices; Impacts.

A Qualitative-Exploratory Pilot Study To Explore Students’ Perception On Experience And Multiple Intelligences’ Impact On Their Linguistic & Personal Growth

Since learning represents one of the most relevant aspects of a humans’ life on which many researches have been conducted, nowadays more than ever it is essential exploring forward-looking theories, achieving inspiring improvements and making an action towards innovation within the educational systems. The qualitative-explorative pilot case study at issue aims to investigate a potential connection between Experience and Multiple Intelligences in relation to the linguistic and personal learning process. Specifically, its main goal is to draw a better understanding of students’ perception on the impact of past living-studying experiences and multidimensional teaching techniques on their linguistic and personal growth. To further investigate these objectives, there have been analysed 33 qualitative feedback from academical students studying languages collected through an inductive reasoning-based online survey structured as written interview and composed by closed-ended multiple choice questions, open-ended questions and ranking questions. The major findings claim that both living and studying abroad contributes to acquire metalinguistic awareness, to improve language skills and to develop life-long skills. Additionally, students recognised the implementation of Multiple Intelligence as an effective alternative to lectures as language teaching-learning strategy thanks to its flexibility and openness towards skills diversity.

Lumpang Batu dan Batu Dakon di Kabupaten Lebak Banten: Indikasi Bercocok Tanam Masa Lampau

Lebak Regency is an area in the southern part of Banten Province which is fertile and dominated by agricultural land. The condition of Lebak in the past based on archaeological remains, especially megalithic remains, shows traces of farming. The traces of the megalithic remains in the form of mortars and dakon stones were obtained at three sites, namely the Gunung Anakan site, the Parigi Lebakbinong site, and the Pasir Nangka site. The problem raised in this paper is what is the function of the mortar stone and dakon stone for supporting communities in Lebak Banten. Knowledge of the function of mortar and dakon stone will be able to reconstruct the role of mortar and dakon stone in the past related to farming. This paper uses descriptive analytical methods and inductive reasoning with a material culture approach. The existence of mortar and dakon stone indicates subsistence based on agriculture or farming.

Women’s participation in the local food system and implications for their dietary quality in rural Northern Ghana: A qualitative study

Background Women’s activities within local food systems are linked with their dietary quality. Their ability to achieve a nutritious diet is often limited by socio-cultural norms, which have not been adequately studied. This study examined socio-cultural norms linked with rural food systems and their adverse effects on women’s diets. Methods The study was conducted in two rural communities, Yilkpene and Kpachilo, in Northern Ghana between May and July 2016. Sixteen key informant interviews (KII) with community and institutional leaders, and eleven focus group discussions (FGDs) with community members were used to explore the nature of the food system, (production, processing, distribution, preparation and consumption), and how it is influenced by socio-cultural norms. Transcribed interviews were coded and analysed thematically, using inductive reasoning. Results The components of the food system in both communities were constructed, primarily, around men. Quantities, quality, and varieties of produce, distribution/marketing, and intra-household allocation were strongly dominated by male perceptions and practices about access and ownership of productive resources, and roles and responsibilities of household members. Men dominated in the production of cereals, and legumes, while women mainly produced/harvested vegetables and fruits, and limited quantities of legumes that have low economic value. Men sell their produce at higher market prices, at urban markets; women rarely sell their vegetables; it is preserved and stored for home consumption. Women’s produce were often sold at farm gates or local markets at lower prices, for income to supplement household diets. Men are responsible for allocating staple foods used in the household for meal preparation to women; women are expected to provide other ingredients needed to accompany the supply of staple food provided by men. Although women prepare household meals, men receive lion’s share of nutrient-dense portions of meals. Conclusion The local food system is heavily dominated by gender-driven socio-cultural norms, which constitute a barrier to women achieving dietary adequacy. Interventions are needed to improve women’s diets; such interventions should deliberately address these culturally-established barriers, in contexts where subsistence farming is the main source of livelihood.

A Profile-Based Approach to Understanding Social Exchange: Authentic Tour-Guiding in the Sharing Economy

Authenticity in travel and tourism research is often explored at the tangible-existential nexus. However, the collaborative forces embedded within digital sharing economy platforms draw attention to how the promise of social exchange can stimulate authentic consumption. The role of tour guides has evolved accordingly, from professional designation to self-acquired identity enacted ad-hoc. This study therefore applies a deductive-inductive approach—investigating over 100,000 tour guide profiles on the digital sharing economy platform showaround.com —to frame authenticity as the diverse manifestation of promised social exchanges. Combining automated qualitative analysis for large datasets with manual inductive reasoning, the findings identify four types of authenticity demonstrated within sharing economy tour guide profiles: situational, natural, personal, and positional. Doing so extends established understanding of tangible-existential and sincere-trustworthy tourism industry authenticity by capturing social exchanges in dynamic contexts; acknowledging the diverse nature of the promise of authentic tourism service delivery and consumption therein.

Lecture 9: The Work of Stephen Toulmin

Lecture 9 tackles the notion of persuasion when using formal and informal arguments. Based on inductive reasoning, informal arguments aim to persuade listeners of their truth by the sheer weight of the reasons the presenter can mobilize. Unlike formal arguments, informal arguments are precisely the sorts of arguments that are wedded to the idea of truth. They are the kinds of arguments where rhetoric is most called for. Le cours 9 traite de la notion de persuasion dans des circonstances où l’on a recours à des arguments formels et informels. Basés sur un raisonnement inductif, les arguments informels tentent de persuader l’auditeur de leur vérité par la simple force des raisons que le présentateur peut rassembler. Contrairement aux arguments formels, les arguments informels représentent précisément le type d’argument qui adhère à l’idée de vérité. Ils sont le type d’argument où la rhétorique peut être le plus utile.
