What lies ahead for India after China blocks proposal to desiginate Abdul Rehman Makki as global terrorist
No full textAs China blocks the joint proposal by the US and Indian governments to designate Abdul Rehman Makki, a US-designated terrorist and brother-in-law of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed, as a global terrorist on June 16, 2022, based on a ‘technical hold’ under United Nations Security Council 1267 Committee, a larger question arises over how to deal with the issue of terrorism in South Asia — a concern for the entire humanity – tackle countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan, which are considered safe haven for terrorist groups
Impact of Web technologies on student-lecturer expert power relationship
No full textExpert power is “the power that comes from having knowledge and expertise in a particular area” (Nazarko, 2004). In the history of the development of higher education, the relationship between the lecturer and the students has changed because of many different factors. Before the internet and web revolution, the lecturer used to be the main information source for his/her students. The web as a modern source of knowledge is now used universally and this spreading trend might affect the relationship between the lecturer and his students. Understanding the impact of this change appears to be important as it would be employed in improving teaching techniques. In this area, many studies have focused on the impact of using the internet and web applications on students and lecturers. These studies have widely investigated this impact on student’s achievements, attitude and also have shown how the role and performance of the faculty have changed. This paper aims to investigate the impact of using web resources as a source of knowledge on the student-lecturer relationship from students’ perspectives. The investigation focuses on how students’ knowledge gained from using websites has impacted on the relationship with their lecturer as a knowledgeable person which theoretically means Expert power. 1661 students from 30 universities/ educational institutions participated in this research
Hermeneutika Al-Qur’an Kontekstual: Metode Menafsirkan Al-Qur’an Abdullah Saeed
No full textQuranic exegesis has a special place in the development of Islamic intellectual tradition and civilization at large. As the main source of Islamic teaching, for centuries Muslims have attempted to understand the various meanings of the Qur’an in order to be in line with the current needs of the society through the process of contextualization. In this article, the author presents and explains the way in which Abdullah Saeed, a professor in Islamic studies from the the University of Melbourne, Australia, contextualize the meaning of the Quran. In particular, this article analyzes some methodological aspects proposed by Saeed in the qontextualization of the Qur’an: 1) identifying the world of the text; 2) analyzing text critically; 3) connecting the text to the early Islamic community as the first receivers; and 4) relating the text to the current needs of society. Keywords: Quranic exegesis, Abdullah Saeed, tafsir methodology, contextualization
Bunga bank konvensional menurut pandangan Abdullah Saeed
No full textBunga adalah salah satu pendapatan yang dihasilkan oleh perbankan konvensinal. Dalam praktiknya, yang menggunakan sistem bunga ini bukan hanya di bank saja, tetapi di lembaga keuangan non bank pun juga ada yang menggunakan sistem bunga sebagai sumber pendapatan bisnisnya. Untuk menjelaskan mengenai bunga bank pada penelitian ini, penulis merujuk pada pemikiran Abdullah Saeed. Saeed berpandangan bahwa bunga bank konvensional tidaklah haram, karena tidak mengandung unsur-unsur yang merupakan tujuan utama pelarangan riba.
Rumusan Masalah: Pertama, Bagaimana bunga bank menurut Abdullah Saeed? Kedua, Bgaimana relevansinya dalam dunia perbankan di Indonesia? Jenis penilitian yang digunakan adalah kepustakaan (library research) yaitu mengumpulkan data atau karya ilmiah yang bertujuan dengan objek penelitian atau pengumpulan data yang bersifat kepustakaan, baik berupa buku, catatan, maupun laporan hasil penelitian dari penelitian terdahulu.
Hasil penelitian ini: pertama, Abdullah Saeed memandang bahwa pinjaman dengan sistem bunga tidak menyebabkan ketidakadilan, maka pinjaman tersebut dibolehkan. Saeed melihat bahwa riba di zaman jahiliyah berbeda dengan mekanisme sistem bunga dalam perbankan konvensional saat ini, apalagi sampai pada terjadinya penindasan dan penganiyaan yang dilakukan oleh kreditur kepada debitur. Kedua, Dilihat dari relevansi sosial ekonomi, budaya ekonomi dan ekonomi serta politik ekonomi mengenai bunga bank jika dihubungkan dengan pemikiran Abdullah Saeed di Indonesia saat ini yaitu sangatlah berkaitan. Karena bunga bank memiliki dampak positif bagi bank konvensional maupun para nasabah yang sudah menanamkan modalnya. Dari sistem bunga ini, tidak hanya salah satu pihak saja yang diuntungkan, tetapi kedua belah pihak. Selain itu, transaksi pinjam meminjam dalam sistem perbankan juga dilakukan secara jelas, terbuka dan dilindungi oleh undang-undang. Jadi, kegiatan perbankan di Indonesia sekarang ini sangatlah berkaitan sekali dengan pemikiran Abdullah Saeed tersebut, dan tidak ada pihak yang dirugikan dari sistem bunga bank ini.
ABSTRACT
Interest is one of the incomes that generated by conventional bank. In practice, those who use this interest system are not only banks, but also non-bank financial that use the interest system as a source of their business income. In this study, the author refers to the thoughts of Abdullah Saeed. Saeed thinks that conventional bank interest is not unlawful, because it does not contain elements which are the main purpose of prohibiting usury.
The problem of this study: first, What is the bank's interest according to Abdullah Saeed? Second, What the relevant among the interest and Indonesian banking? The type of research used is library research which is collecting data or scientific work aimed at the object of research or collection of library-based data, both in the form of books, notes and research reports from previous research.
The results of this study: first, Abdullah Saeed views that loans with an interest system do not cause inequity, it is permitted. Saeed sees that usury in the jahiliyah era was different from the current system of conventional banking's interest, moreover it leads to the persecution and abuse by creditors to the debtor. Second, Seeing from the relevance of socio-economic, cultural-economic and political-economic regarding to bank interest if it linked to Abdullah Saeed's thinking in Indonesia today, it is very relevant. Because bank interest has a positive impact on conventional banks its elf and the customers who have invested their capital. From this system, both parties get the benefits. In addition, lending and borrowing transactions in banking system are also carried out clearly, openly and protected by law. So, Indonesian banking activities are very closely related to Abdullah Saeed's thinking and no party is harmed from this bank's interest system
PEMIKIRAN ABDULLLAH SAEED TENTANG ISLAM PROGRESIF
No full textIslam Progressive is a new term in contemporary Islamic studies that has been used by academics and activists for several years to label Islamic understandings and actions that fight for the enforcement of humanist values, such as civil society development, democracy, justice, gender equality, defense of the oppressed and pluralism. Included in this is the concept offered by Abdullah Saeed in his thoughts on Islam. He offered an idea that the Islamic teachings written in the Qur\u27an should not be interpreted textually but could be interpreted contextually in accordance with the times as long as they did not deviate from the core of Islamic faith. In interpreting the verses of the Qur\u27an, it is done by finding the world of texts, studying and analyzing the Qur\u27an with a linguistic or textualist approach, linking the Qur\u27an with the socio-historical context when the Qur\u27an was revealed and linking it with current context and interpret the verse. So that the teachings of Islam can later be received by the people wherever and whenever, or in the term shahih li kulli zamaan wa al-makaan
Anticancer activity of goniothalamin on oral cancer cells in vitro and in vivo / Fahme Abdul Kalk Saeed Kaid
No full textGoniothalamin (GTN) is one of styryl-lactons naturally available compounds isolated
from Goniothalamus macro-phyllus. It shows a selective cytotoxicity against variety of
cancer cell lines with no significant cytotoxicity toward non-malignant cells. The aim of
this study was to evaluate the activity of GTN against oral cancer cells in vitro and in
vivo. Materials and Methods: in vitro part of study, anti-proliferative effect and
cytotoxic screening of GTN was conducted on H400 oral cancer cells using MTT assay.
The mechanism of apoptosis was studied by mitochondrial membrane potential,
cytochrome c detection and caspase-3/7, -8 and -9 assays. The blockage of apoptosis and
cell proliferation was investigated using NF-kb assay. As for the in vivo part of study, the
haematological, biochemical and histoathological evaluation of GTN was investigated on
selected organs (kidney, liver, lung, heart, spleen and brain) of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats
using Acute and sub-acute toxicity tests. The anticancer activity of GTN was evaluated
using 4NQO-induced oral cancer rat model at different doses of GTN; 25, 50, 100, 150
mg/kg. The carcinogenic agent administered intraperitoneally into rats in drinking water
for 12 weeks and the GTN treatment started at the 13th week for 10 weeks. At the end of
the experiments the animals were anesthetized and then blood samples were collected for
haematological and biochemical analysis. And then autopsy was carried out for all rats
and tongue of rats were harvested for gene expression, histopathological and
immunohistochemistry analysis. Result: As for in vitro study, MTT assay findings
showed that GTN exhibited selective cytotoxicity and inhibited the growth of H400 oral
cancer cells via apoptosis in dose and time-dependent manner. Mitochondrial membrane
potential assay revealed the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into cytosol. Caspases
assays revealed the activation of initiator caspase-9 and executioner caspase-3/7 in dose-
iv
dependent manners. This form of apoptosis was closely associated with the inhibition of
NF-kb translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus. As for in vivo study, the acute toxicity
revealed that the GTN lethal dose was 420 mg/kg and the LD50 was 42 mg/kg. The subacute test revealed no evidence of any treatment-related changes of the animals used in
this study. As for the anticancer activity of GTN on rat oral cancer, the finding showed
no significant differences between GTN different doses. In the GTN-treated animal, the
tumor size was reduced comparing to the untreated animals. The findings showed that
GTN inhibit the expression of Cyclin D1, Ki-67, Bcl-2 and p53 genes while a slight
increase in the expression of β-catenin and E-cadherin genes that was observed. The
findings also revealed that GTN induces apoptosis by upregulation of Bax and Casp3
genes and down-regulation of Tp53, Bcl-2, Cox-2, Cyclin D1 and EGFR. GTN and
Cisplatin combination showed better results in inhibiting oral cancer than GTN or
Cisplatin alone. Conclusion: This study provides scientific validation for the safety of
GTN up to the highest dose level used in this study. The findings of current study
indicated that GTN has the potential to act as an anticancer agent against oral cancer
