The natural world as a medium of otherworldly contemplation and animals as figures of piety in Ibn Barrağan of Seville (d. 536/1141)
(Edinburgh University Press, 2026) Ollivry, Florence; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Felsefe ve Yapay Zeka Bölümü
Representative of a movement that was both mystical and philosophical,Rinitiated by Ibn Masarra (d. 319/931) and brought to its fullest extent by Ibn 'Arabī (d. 638/1240), Ibn Barrağan of Seville (d. 536/1141) emphasised in his work the revelatory aspect of nature and showed himself to be attentive to the natural world.2 Thus, in his Qur'anic commentaries, we discover that the humble consideration of the eggs of ants, the cries of doves and the milk of cows leads to eminent metaphysical speculations. Ibn Barrağān believes that religious literacy should not be limited to reading the Qur'an, and that it should be complemented by a search for the signs of God in the world. The attention he pays to the natural world leads us, in this chapter, to question the place he gives to animals within Creation. To what extent does he consider animals to be sources of spiritual instruction? Are we to approach animals as models of piety? We will attempt to answer these questions through study of his major 'exegesis' or tafsir (Tanbih al-afhäm ilä tadabbur al-kitāb al-hakim) and his minor one (İdäh al-hikma bi-ahkām al-ibra). After a brief presentation of his work and world-view, we will clarify his understanding of'symbolic transposition' (i'tibar) and articulate why this practice is a source of teaching ('ibra) when it takes the natural world as its support. Finally, we will consider what he believes characterises animal piety...
Assessing the relationship between the COSO internal control system and financial & non-financial performance of Ghanaian listed commercial banks in the sustainability era
(Bussecon International Academy, 2026) Mohammed, Abdullai; Aksoy, Tamer; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study aimed to examine the impact of the internal control system (ICS) on the performance of publicly traded Ghanaian commercial banks, within the context of the core components of the COSO integrated ICS. Accordingly, the study investigated employees' perceptions of the impact of the ICS components on financial performance-FP and non-financial performance-NFP and whether a significant relationship exists between these perceptions. In the study, the core components of the COSO’s ICS (control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information-communication, monitoring) were considered as independent variables, while FP and NFP of the banks were considered as the dependent variables. In line with the study's objective, the hypotheses were designed as follows: H1: The ICS has an impact on the FP. H2: The ICS has an impact on the NFP. Methodologically, a descriptive online survey method was used to collect data. The survey was sent to 113 managers and employees working in the internal control and audit departments of 23 listed Ghanaian banks, and 73 employees, representing 64.6%, provided voluntary feedback. Data were analyzed using SPSS-25. The survey, which was suitable for a 5-point Likert scale, included statements regarding COSO internal control components and FP and NFP. The study revealed that there were no differences in FP among the ICSs but there were differences in NFP among the ICS. The study concluded a statistically significant relationship between the ICS and FP overall. Additionally, compared to other components whose impact on FP was limited, the COSO Information- Communication component indicated the highest significant relationship with FP and the greatest positive impact, while the control activities component had an inverse effect on FP. Furthermore, the study also revealed a significant overall relationship between the ICS and NFP. In addition, compared to other components whose impact on NFP was much more limited, the COSO Information- Communication component showed the highest significant relationship with NFP and the highest positive impact on NFP. This study is considered to contribute to the literature and to investors, shareholders, policymakers, etc., by examining all factors together, such as the impact of COSO internal control components on FP and NFP, and the internal control and audit department staff at the headquarters and branches of listed Ghanaian commercial banks.
Secular spirituality and communal harmony: Bhakti and Sufi traditions in Bihar and Kashmir
(University of Kashmir, 2024) Kumar, Rajeev
This paper explores how the Bhakti and Sufi mysticism movements have historically cultivated secular spirituality, providing a shared spiritual framework that transcended or expanded religious boundaries to foster communal harmony and continues to do so between Hindus and Muslims in contemporary South Asia. By emphasizing personal devotion, ethical behaviour, and social inclusivity, these traditions challenged religious orthodoxy and social hierarchies. Through a detailed examination of their historical contexts and contemporary fieldwork in Bihar and Kashmir, this study demonstrates how the teachings and practices of Bhakti and Sufi mystics remain essential for promoting interfaith dialogue and communal harmony. By situating these traditions within broader academic debates on secular spirituality, the paper underscores their ongoing relevance in addressing modern challenges of religious polarization and social cohesion.
Designing an AI governance framework for generative AI in higher education: Integrating large language models, academic integrity, employability, and national AI policies
(Nexora Academic Press, 2026) Shahid, Choudhry; Tasavvar, Nishwa; Khan, Atif; Ahmad, Sajjad; Bayram, Mustafa; Almomani, Omar; Ahmad, Sohail
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly large language models (LLMs), is transforming higher education, impacting the way teachers teach, students learn, are evaluated, research is carried out and graduates are prepared. As it gains traction, however, it has raised complex challenges in terms of academic integrity, responsible use of AI, privacy, institutional accountability, employability and national priorities. This study proposed an AI governance framework for the use of generative AI in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Pakistan and validated it. A design of a mixed methods framework-development and expert-validation was used. The study included a systematic review of literature, a comparative analysis of national and international AI policy, content-validity assessment, and a two-round Delphi consultation with 30 experts from the field of higher education administration, AI policy, educational technology, academic integrity, and industry. Content Validity Ratio, Item-Level ContentValidity Index, Scale-Level Content Validity Index, Delphi median and interquartile range, Kendall's coefficient of concordance, Friedman test and reliability analysis were used to validate the proposed governance dimensions. Qualitative interviews and Delphi responses were thematically analyzedto give insights into the quantitative results. The research results revealed five interconnected dimensions: Responsible integration of LLM, Academic integrity and assessment governance, AI literacy and graduate employability, Ethical governance and institutional governance, and Alignment with national AI policy. The study suggests a multi-layered governance system that places a strong focus on responsible innovation, human supervision, academic accountability, graduate readiness, institutional accountability, and ongoing policy adaptation in the Pakistani higher education system.
[Book Review]: "Deconstructing Refugee Women’s Empowerment: A Comparative Approach to British and French Aid Structures"
(Oxford University Press, 2026) Ergin, Ayşenur
In Deconstructing Refugee Women’s Empowerment, Kılıçoğlu criticizes the victim-agent dichotomy and examines the empowerment of refugee women through a comparative perspective of aid structures in the UK and France. Drawing on Mohanty’s critique of Western feminism’s homogenization of Third World women and Spivak’s argument on the subaltern’s silencing, she shows how colonial hierarchies shape aid structures in Europe. The book’s central argument is that empowerment is not a universal or neutral concept. It is a politically constructed process embedded in colonial histories and national citizenship models that determine both the definition of empowerment itself and which refugee women ‘deserve’ to be empowered...
