    Fundamental Rights in Times of Emergency: Ataur Rahman Vs Muhibur Rahman Revisited

    No full text
    This research analyses the Bangladesh' Court Decision on the case of Ataur Rahman vs. Mahibur Rahman with regrad to fundamental rights in times of emergency. It is argued that the decision of the court in Ataur Rahman vs. Muhibur Rahman is erroneous decision. This is because while Article 141C of Bangladesh Constitution gives the Presidnet the power to suspend certain fundamental rights, yet Articles 27 to 35 and 41 of the Constitution cannot be suspended. In Bangladesh's legal system, fundamental human rights are commonly viewed as a set of legal protections. Part III of the Constitution of Bangladesh has confirmed these rights for the citizens of Bangladesh. Some fundamental rights are even universally recognized rights which are contained in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), or the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). Article 4 of the ICCPR deals with the state of emergency and Article 4(2) provides a list of non-derogable rights. Such as the right to life, the prohibition of torture, slavery etc. These rights are completely non-derogable in nature and cannot be derogated at all including during a state of emergency. Furthermore the Apex court of Bangladesh tried to justify that the President can derogate any fundamental right during an emergency. Such a proposition is contradicting core parts of our Constitution as well as several International instruments.This research uses normative legal research with statute approach and case approach, especialy analysing Ataur Rahman vs. Muhibur Rahman case

    Environmental toxicity, redox signaling and lung inflammation:the role of glutathione

    No full text
    Glutathione (gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant thiol and is central to redox defense during oxidative stress. GSH metabolism is tightly regulated and has been implicated in redox signaling and also in protection against environmental oxidant-mediated injury. Changes in the ratio of the reduced and disulfide form (GSH/GSSG) can affect signaling pathways that participate in a broad array of physiological responses from cell proliferation, autophagy and apoptosis to gene expression that involve H(2)O(2) as a second messenger. Oxidative stress due to oxidant/antioxidant imbalance and also due to environmental oxidants is an important component during inflammation and respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and asthma. It is known to activate multiple stress kinase pathways and redox-sensitive transcription factors such as Nrf2, NF-kappaB and AP-1, which differentially regulate the genes for pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as the protective antioxidant genes. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms for the induction of antioxidants, such as GSH, versus pro-inflammatory mediators at sites of oxidant-directed injuries may allow for the development of novel therapies which will allow pharmacological manipulation of GSH synthesis during inflammation and oxidative injury. This article features the current knowledge about the role of GSH in redox signaling, GSH biosynthesis and particularly the regulation of transcription factor Nrf2 by GSH and downstream signaling during oxidative stress and inflammation in various pulmonary diseases. We also discussed the current therapeutic clinical trials using GSH and other thiol compounds, such as N-acetyl-l-cysteine, fudosteine, carbocysteine, erdosteine in environment-induced airways disease

    Current concepts on oxidative/carbonyl stress, inflammation and epigenetics in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem. The current therapies for COPD are poorly effective and the mainstays of pharmacotherapy are bronchodilators. A better understanding of the pathobiology of COPD is critical for the development of novel therapies. In the present review, we have discussed the roles of oxidative/aldehyde stress, inflammation/immunity, and chromatin remodeling in the pathogenesis of COPD. An imbalance of oxidants/antioxidants caused by cigarette smoke and other pollutants/biomass fuels plays an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD by regulating redox-sensitive transcription factors (e.g., NF-κB), autophagy and unfolded protein response leading to chronic lung inflammatory response. Cigarette smoke also activates canonical/alternative NF-κB pathways and their upstream kinases leading to sustained inflammatory response in lungs. Recently, epigenetic regulation has been shown to be critical for the development of COPD because the expression/activity of enzymes that regulate these epigenetic modifications have been reported to be abnormal in airways of COPD patients. Hence, the significant advances made in understanding the pathophysiology of COPD as described herein will identify novel therapeutic targets for intervention in COPD

    This research on Manhaj Tafsir Fazlur Rahman aims to describe and describe the methods or approaches used by Fazlur Rahman in interpreting the Qur\u27an. This research was conducted through library research. The study is descriptive and analytical, that is, analytical in a historical and philosophical sense. Data concerning the methodological thinking of interpreting the Koran can be traced back to Rahman\u27s writing (primary source). The research data is in the form of works by Fazlur Rahman in interpreting various Qur\u27an verses. Meanwhile, the data sources that will be explored in this paper are Rahman\u27s interpretations, which are widely published in multiple books in Indonesia. The results of his research show that diversity in both the method (manhaj / tariqah), style (nau\u27), and approaches (alwan) used is something that cannot be avoided in a work of interpretation. Although interpretive works have appeared in modern times, their interpretation still follows classical and medieval patterns. For Fazrul Rahman, tafsir\u27s essence is how an interpreter can create an authentic meaning (original meaning) from reading through the historical context of the past. He captures all moral aspects to contextualize meaning in the present with a new methodology

    ÖZETBu tez, bir düşünür olarak Fazlur Rahman’ın modern dünyada yaşayan Müslümanların Kur’an-ı Kerim’i doğru/ nesnel anlama sorunları için geliştirme iddiasında olduğu metod meselesinin onun düşüncesindeki yerini incelemektedir.Fazlur Rahman, geleneksel yorumlama metodlarının Kur’an-ı Kerim’i doğru/ nesnel anlamayı sağlamada yetersiz olduklarını ifade ettikten sonra, tamamen yeni olmamakla birlikte bir metod geliştirmeye çalıştığını ifade etmektedir. O, açıkça ifade etmemekle birlikte metodunu tarihselci düşünsel bir zeminde inşa etmektedir. Ancak tarihselciliğin kutsal bir metne uygulanmasının doğurabileceği sorunları açıklamamaktadır. Tez, Fazlur Rahman’ın metod meselesinin, onun dini kavramları anlamasına nasıl etki ettiğini, bu bağlamda klasik metafizik ile olan bağını da araştırmaktadır.Fazlur Rahman, Metod, Tarihselcilik, Nesnel Anlama, Metafizik.ABSTRACTMasters With ThesisTHE METHOD ISSUE IN FAZLUR RAHMAN THOUGHTMehmet Raif SÖYLEMEZT.C. University of MarmaraInstitute of Social SciencesDepartment of Philosophy and ReligionThis thesis examines the position of the method issue in Fazlur Rahman’s, as a thinker, thoughts which claims to develop fort he problems of Qur’an’s correct/ objective understanding by Muslims living in modern World.Fazlur Rahman, after expressing that the traditional interpretation methods are insufficient in ensuring the correct/ objective understanding of the Qur’an, he says that he has tried to develop a method that is not completely new. He does not make it clear, but constructs his method on a historicist intellectual base. However, he does not explain the problems that can be casued by the application of historicism to a sacred text.The thesis also studies how Fazlur Rahman’s methodology influences his understanding of religious concepts, and his connections with classical metaphysics in this context.Fazlur Rahman, Method, Historicism, Objective Understanding, Metaphysic
