Abstract

Marriage is something that is sacred, great, and monumental for every spouse. Marriage is not just following religion and continuing the instincts of the ancestors to form a family in a legal bond between men and women, but also has a very deep and broad meaning for human life towards the ark of life as it aspires to be. The Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat Traditional Marriage has a unique procedure. In traditional families, the wedding ceremony is carried out according to hereditary tradition, which consists of many sub-ceremonies, namely penembung, paningset, liru kalpika, sawon ancestors, wilujengan, pasang tarub, tuwuhan, siraman, paes, sesadeyan dawet, sengkeran, mindodareni, ijab/marriage, panggih, sepasaran, and wilujengan. Javanese traditional wedding procedures with Islamic wedding procedures need to be studied more deeply, because the Javanese Muslim community can adjust the style of dress and decoration in accordance with Islamic provisions. This study uses qualitative methods to answer research questions: How is the customary marriage procession of the Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat? What are the stages of the Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat customary court with Islamic law? What is the meaning of the symbols of the Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat customary procession? The results of the study show that the custom of the great marriage at the Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat does not conflict with the provisions of Islamic law; the conditions for harmonious marriage are met; and according to the laws in force in Indonesia, it is also appropriate.

Abstract

Owing to gender imbalances and the patriarchal system, females in Pakistan are considered minorities in the political process. The quota system has increased female representation in the parliament. Nonetheless, it is imperative to implement effective strategies and policies to empower women and to improve their engagement in Pakistani politics. The main objective of this study was to explore the major challenges and prospects of female participation in politics in Pakistan. Additionally, this study investigates the obstacles and opportunities for female participation in leadership. A qualitative research method was adopted in this study, relying on a desk-study approach and utilizing various secondary sources such as articles, research papers, government reports, and official websites. The main findings of the study indicate that economic dependency, lack of education and literacy, gender segregation, male domination, traditional beliefs, financial issues, limited awareness of political rights, political parties, social and cultural norms, and religious interpretation are the major challenges faced by women in Pakistan when it comes to participating in the democratic process and governance system. Furthermore, the underrepresentation of women in politics reflects complex and mutually reinforcing social dynamics, highlighting the need for concerted and collaborative actions and measures to address these challenges. In conclusion, women's participation will lead to improved decision-making concerning gender-based laws and regulations in various sectors, including education, health, the workplace, and society.

Abstract

Nigeria is a developing nation with a population of over 200 million. Of this aggregate, approximately 106 million are aged 18 years and above. Of this adult population, 70 million live in rural areas, and many do not have adequate access to relevant financial products and services. The proportion of individuals and firms that use or have access to financial services can be referred to as financially inclusive. This study analyzes the impact of financial inclusion and domestic investment on Nigeria’s financial development. Multiple regression analysis was employed in this study which spanned over the period, 1982-2021. The empirical results reveal that financial inclusion and domestic investment have positive impacts on financial development; however, domestic investment has a more significant impact to a larger extent. The study recommended that policies should be directed towards creating a more inclusive financial system to improve the current level of financial inclusion to achieve better financial development in Nigeria. This study concludes that governments should formulate policies that boost financial inclusion and investment to deepen the level of financial development in the economy.

Abstract

Media technologies have been considered freeing and empowering since the twentieth century, as they aid in enhancing human capacity. In the media and communication industries, technologies have aided human manipulation of mechanical and electronic processes. Arguably, social interactions were improved by extending audience reach, broadening coverage, changing time and location constraints, and bridging important gaps in information. In this context, this study used in-depth interviews as the research method, and thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data gathered based on the themes that emerged during the interviews. The population of the study consisted of 106 staff in the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Kano, and a purposive sampling technique was used to select 15 participants for the study. This study is premised on the Domestication and Technological Determinism Theories. The findings of the study revealed that quality information dissemination, good visualization, easy access to information, and quick spread of information to the target audience are among the factors responsible for the adoption of information technology in NTA Kano. The study concludes that there is a need for an increasing level of information technology, especially NTA Kano, to enhance adequate information dissemination. There is also a need to address financial difficulties, lack of constant training and retraining of staff, poor state of equipment or lack of maintenance, and lack of adequate funding to ensure the proper and smooth running of modern technologies in NTA Kano.

Abstract

This article explores the role of religions in fostering an ethos of respect for diversity and cultivating the ethics of constructive disagreement. Recognizing that diversity is an inherent trait of human existence, this study highlights the necessity of transcending conflict and cultivating harmony through a moral framework derived from religious principles. Using key religious texts and examples, the paper analyzes the doctrines and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, demonstrating their contributions to peacebuilding and intercultural understanding. Hinduism and Buddhism emphasize values of self-realization, meditation, and universal love, fostering the ability to transcend individual differences. Judaism advocates ethical principles, such as justice and integrity, while distinguishing between religious teachings and political ideologies. Christianity, particularly through its message of love and forgiveness, offers a model for reconciliation with one’s adversaries. Islam’s foundational principles, including equality, tolerance, and respect for freedom of belief, provide a legal and moral framework for coexistence and dialogue, epitomized by the Prophet Muhammad’s ethical treatment of diverse communities. Through these religious paradigms, the study addresses the challenges of ideological extremism, historical grievances, and structural inequalities that hinder peaceful coexistence. It proposes practical strategies for embedding the ethics of disagreement within educational, legal, and social institutions. The findings underline the urgency of interfaith collaboration and the application of shared values to overcome global crises of conflict and division, advocating for a collective moral responsibility that transcends cultural and theological boundaries. This discourse reaffirms the enduring relevance of religions in shaping a harmonious global society.

Abstract

This study examined the efficacy of human-centered foreign and security policies in the management of insecurity in Nigeria. This highlights the limitations inherent to the dominant state-centric security mechanism in Nigeria. The study argues that the proliferation of traditional threats manifesting in the Boko Haram insurgency, Biafra separatist agitation, Niger Delta militancy, and Fulani herdsmen uprising were attributed mainly to the government’s disregard for socioeconomic gaps and political contexts that predispose people to aggressive behavior. Instead of addressing waves of insecurity, military operations complicate and widen their scope. The study, therefore, calls for a review of the existing security architecture and foreign policy objectives of the state in line with the principles of human security. Understanding the context of fueling and sustaining insecurity as well as evolving appropriate human-centric security and foreign policy measures are key to managing violent conflicts in Nigeria. Most importantly, appropriate constitutional provisions relating to human security should be strictly implemented, while professionals should be properly engaged in the task of developing and implementing foreign security policies in Nigeria.

Abstract

The Nigerian public service is crucial to the country’s economic development. This is because a vibrant public service sector is able to harness effectively overhead taxes and also account for public expenditure at all levels. In this study, we qualitatively analyse the response of 15 individuals from the public who have visited a typical public office at least 3 times within the last one year. An interview form containing 7 items was administered, and the results was analyzed from themes that give true picture of the perception of respondents. It was observed that workers in public service are not professional enough, taking their jobs with levity. The level of unprofessionalism in the public workforce calls for urgent attention as the study finds. Public service workers make up the larger part of the workforce of the nation, and as such they represent the face of the nation to the committee of nations. Government at all levels, that is the federal, the state, and the local council level as well as the various government agencies, departments, and ministries are called upon to cooperate and synergize in order to foster rapid transformation in public service. As a result, this study recommends publics service reforms.

Abstract

Policy implementation is a complex process that involves various factors such as the personal and official interests of actors, implanting agencies, and different contexts in the country. Although municipal solid waste management is an essential policy that must be implemented in any country to fulfil citizens’ expectations of living in good health and clean environments, it is a critical issue in many countries. To address these challenges, the government of Sri Lanka introduced the National Solid Waste Management Policy in 2007, based on internationally recognized principles, including waste reduction. Evidence shows that Municipal Solid Waste Management Policy has failed in Sri Lanka. This study examines how social norms, public attitudes, and the behaviour of actors, including citizens, the private sector, public officers, and political leaders, affect the implementation of the 2007 National Solid Waste Management Policy. This qualitative study utilized primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through 30 semi-structured interviews and two focus group discussions conducted from November 2019 to January 2020. Research findings reveal that social norms, public attitudes, and behaviour contribute significantly to increased food waste volumes in Sri Lanka as traditional practices of food preservation, and waste minimization has been replaced by changes in lifestyle and attitudes of the people over decades. Furthermore, research findings show that negative attitudes and behaviour of political and bureaucratic leaders adversely impacted policy implementation, including conflicts among actors, delayed infrastructure development, unequal and unfair resource distribution, and hindered the quality of waste management through corrupt practices.
Re-Evaluating the Development of the Islamic Sciences: The Case Against the Classical Narrative and the Myth of Decline Lucas, Adam

Abstract

Eurocentric myths about Western scientific and technological superiority persist in popular culture and some scholarly circles. A prevalent myth suggests that Islamic contributions to modern science were primarily the transmission of ancient Greek and Roman knowledge to medieval and early modern Europe. A less extreme version posits significant contributions during Islam's "Golden Age," followed by a decline between the late eleventh and late fourteenth centuries. This paper challenges these narratives, presenting recent scholarship that demonstrates continuous major advances in astronomy, physics, mathematics, and medicine by Islamic scholars throughout the late Middle Ages and into the early modern period. The study underscores the inadequacy of the classical narrative, which claims that Islamic scientific activity declined after an initial period of prosperity. Historians like Eugene von Grunebaum, Otto Neugebauer, and George Saliba have provided evidence that Islamic scholars not only preserved ancient knowledge but also made original contributions that influenced later European developments. This includes advancements in fields such as astronomy, where figures like Nasir al-Din al-Tusi and Ibn al-Shatir developed models later utilized by Copernicus. The paper also highlights continued progress in medicine and mathematics, with scholars like Al-Razi and Ibn Sina making lasting impacts on European scientific thought. The article argues for a re-evaluation of the role of Islamic sciences, emphasizing that many significant contributions remain understudied due to a lack of accessible manuscript sources. By debunking the myth of decline, the paper calls for recognition of the dynamic and sustained intellectual activity within Islamic cultures, which continued to produce influential scientific work well into the early modern era.
