Not like my mother : truth and the author in creative nonfiction
No full textThis exegesis examines how a writer can effectively negotiate the relationship between author, character, fact and truth, in a work of Creative Nonfiction. It was found that individual truths, in a work of Creative Nonfiction, are not necessarily universal truths due to individual, cultural, historical and religious circumstances. What was also identified, through the examination of published Creative Nonfiction, is a necessity to ensure there are clear demarcation lines between authorial truth and fiction. The Creative Nonfiction works examined, which established this framework for the reader, ensured an ethical relationship between author and audience. These strategies and frameworks were then applied to my own Creative Nonfiction
Strategi Modernisasi Pendidikan Islam Menurut Azyumardi Azra Dalam Buku Pendidikan Islam Tradisi Dan Modernisasi Di Tengah Tantangan Milenium III
No full textThe renewal of Islamic education is a demand of the needs of the Islamic education world today. Seeing the backwardness and underdevelopment of Muslims today, the purpose of Islamic education reform is to try to leave the old mindset that is not in accordance with the progress of the times and strive to gain aspects that strengthen to adjust to the progress of the times. Islamic education is actually a balance between the world and the hereafter, a balance between the knowledge of revelation and knowledge of human endeavor, and the balance of science and technology. Azyumardi Azra is a well-known figure in the understanding of Islamic renewal. He gave birth to many works for Islamic education. Azra's own education is more about teaching. This study aims to describe the idea of modernization of Islamic education according to Azyumardi Azra and to describe the strategy of modernizing Islamic education according to Azyumardi Azra. This research is a qualitative research which refers to library research. Which refers to books, literary works related to the Modernization of Islamic Education. The approach or point of view used by the author in conducting this research is a factual-historical approach. The results of this study can be concluded that the idea of modernization of Islamic education according to Azyumardi Azra is associated with the challenges of the 21st century and the era of globalization, the progress of science and technology. In order to achieve the desired educational goals, of course it is necessary to have a strategy that is done so that Islamic education is not left behind. The modernization strategy according to Azyumardi Azra is that it needs to develop a dual approach strategy that aims to integrate a number of short-term situational approaches with a long-term conceptual approach. That is, the ideas or efforts developed by Azyumardi Azra in dealing with the problem of Islamic education must be in accordance with the current situation or condition of Islamic education
AZYUMARDI AZRA THINKING ABOUT PARADIGM SCIENTIFIC AND INSTITUTIONALAND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE EVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC STATE UNIVERSITY (UIN) SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA

Toxicity mechanism of anthropogenic water contaminants: drinking water disinfection by-products (haloacetic acids) and particle associated contaminants from sealcoats (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) in lake sediments
No full textDrinking water disinfection was one of the major public health accomplishments of 20th century. Water disinfection helps in reducing waterborne diseases like typhoid fever, cholera, and hepatitis A. However, chemical water disinfection also produces unwanted toxic chemicals, known as water disinfection by-products (DBPs). Most of the DBPs are cytotoxic, neurotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic but the toxicity mechanism is not completely understood. Therefore, the objectives of this dissertation were to i) understand the toxicity mechanisms and identify the molecular targets of all the regulated and non-regulated haloacetic acids (HAAs) water DBPs, ii) to differentiate among the toxicity mechanisms of mono-, di-, and triHAAs, iii) to evaluate the toxicity potential of chlorinated and chloraminated wastewater effluents, and iv) to evaluate the mutagenicity potential of the particle associated contaminants such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with coal tar and soot, extracted from lake core sediments.
Studies based on the toxicity mechanism of HAAs water DBPs demonstrated that monoHAAs were the strongest inhibitors of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) where, di-, and triHAAs were weaker inhibitors. MonoHAAs greatly reduced the ATP contents of the cells. Unlike monoHAAs, triHAAs increased the cellular ATP levels as compared to the negative controls. Exogenous pyruvate supplementation rescued cells from monoHAA-induced DNA damage and ATP depletion. These results confirmed that monoHAA-induced genotoxicity was due to GAPDH inhibition. HAAs not only affected the GAPDH kinetics and disturbed the cellular energy homeostasis but also increased pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) activity. Increased PDC activity by monoHAAs was due to changes in metabolite ratios e.g., ATP/ADP, and NADH/NAD ratio but the increase induced by di-, and triHAAs was due to the inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). Results demonstrated that HAA-induced toxicity is due to disruption in cellular energy homeostasis. This research demonstrated that there was a difference among the HAA-induced toxicity mechanisms and their molecular targets. MonoHAAs had an indirect effect on mitochondrial metabolism by inhibiting GAPDH, affecting the generation of pyruvate, inducing oxidative stress and reducing the final output of mitochondria in the form of ATP. Among monoHAAs, the rank order of toxicity was iodoacetic acid > bromoacetic acid >> chloroacetic acid (IAA > BAA >> CAA). This toxicity pattern was directly correlated with the inhibition of GAPDH kinetics, ATP depletion, and PDC activation. Whereas, di- and triHAAs induced toxicity by directly affecting mitochondrial metabolism by PDK inhibition, which led to PDC activation.
The toxicity potential of chlorinated and chloraminated wastewater effluents extracted with XAD-8 and XAD-4 resins was evaluated. For chlorinated water, the organic extracts eluted from XAD-8 were more cytotoxic than that of the chloraminated wastewater extracts. However, the XAD-4 extracts of the chlorinated wastewaters and chloraminated wastewaters did not show any significance difference. Unlike the cytotoxicity analyses, the chloraminated wastewater XAD-8 extracts showed a higher genotoxic effect in mammalian cells than the XAD-4 extracts. Thus the major cytotoxicity and genotoxicity components in wastewater effluents were associated with hydrophobic acid fractions as compared to the transphilic acid fractions.
The mutagenicity evaluation of the coal tar and soot associated polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from lake sediments demonstrated that the coal tar and soot extracts were not direct acting mutagens but needed S9 microsomal activation. It was also found that coal tar extracts induced a higher rate of base pair substitution mutations as compared to the induction of frameshift mutations. Soot extracts induced a relatively higher rate of frameshift mutations as compared to the coal tar extract frameshift mutation rate.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-12-01The student, Azra Dad, accepted the attached license on 2016-08-01 at 18:20.The student, Azra Dad, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-08-01 at 21:48.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-11-07 at 15:18.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10097 on 2017-02-28 at 14:35:47Made available in DSpace on 2017-03-01T16:36:36Z (GMT).

Rule behind the silk curtain: the Sultanahs of Aceh 1641-1699.
No full textPhDThis thesis is about the kingdom of Aceh Dar al-Salam in the latter half of the
seventeenth century when four women ruled in succession: Sultanah Tajul Alam
Safiatuddin Syah (1641-1675), Sultanah Nur Alam Naqiatuddin Syah (1675-1678),
Sultanah Inayat Zakiatuddin Syah (1678-1688) and Sultanah Iamalat Zainatuddin Syah
(1688-1699). How and why these queens came to power, and how they exercised it, are
problems that have fascinated enquirers, prompting a range of comments and
observations, especially the assertion that the queens were mere figureheads, during
whose reigns the male elite (orangkaya) captured power. The Sultanahs were held
responsible for the erosion of royal power and the kingdom's decline in the seventeenth
century. Yet no in-depth study has ever investigated these claims. The main objective of
this thesis is to evaluate the received views on these female sovereigns. The thesis also
seeks to examine the origin, nature and impact of these Sultanahs. Female rule seems a
curious phenomenon in a Muslim state. Furthermore, in a largely patriarchal kingdom
such as Aceh, queens seemed to be strangely out of place. This unique episode in Aceh's
history happened when European Companies - the Dutch VOC (Veerinigde Ooost-Indische
Compagnie) and the English East India Company - were gradually increasing their
commercial hold and flexing their military muscles in the region. Indigenous polities
suffered increasing interference and pressure from Westerners. Most Malay and Muslim
coastal polities in maritime Southeast Asia fell into European intruders' hands. By
exploring the circumstances and arguments surrounding female accession, and
examining some key episodes that show how power worked in Aceh at the time, I hope
to approach a new understanding of how and why the male elite of Aceh placed the fate
of the kingdom in the hands of women, and with what effects
Modernisasi Pendidikan Islam Menurut Azyumardi Azra (Diskursus Modernisasi di Pondok Pesantren Al-Aqobah Jombang)
No full textIslamic boarding schools are considered as backward and less participatory traditional institutions, but have great potential in terms of mobilizing local resources, potential sources of labor, and sources of political support. With the development of increasingly advanced times, Islamic boarding schools need to modernize holistically institutionally, curriculum and learning methods. For this reason, the author tries to reveal the modernization of Islamic education according to Azyumardi Azra at the Al-Aqobah Islamic boarding school, Jombang. The results of this study found that the institutional modernization of the Islamic education system at the al-Aqobah Islamic boarding school still adheres to the classic pesantren tradition while at the same time innovating with modernity. Thus making the Al-Aqobah Islamic boarding school transform into a hybrid, namely combining salaf (traditional) and khalaf (modern). Modernization of the curriculum at the Al-Aqobah Islamic boarding school has at least fulfilled religious education (tafaqquh fi al-din), madrasah, formal schools, and skills education. Meanwhile, the modernization of learning methods has also used a variety of up-to-date technological devices to support learning objectives and the use of contemporary teaching materials and learning media.Pondok pesantren dianggap sebagai lembaga tradisional yang terbelakang dan kurang partisipatif, namun memiliki potensi besar dalam hal memobilisasi sumber daya lokal, sumber tenaga kerja potensial, dan sumber dukungan politik. Dengan perkembangan zaman yang semakin maju, pondok pesantren perlu memodernisasi secara holistik secara kelembagaan, kurikulum serta metode pembelajaran. Untuk itu penulis berusaha mengungkap modernisasi pendidikan Islam menurut Azyumardi Azra pada pondok pesantren Al-Aqobah Jombang. Hasil dari penelitian ini mendapati bahwa Modernisasi sistem pendidikan Islam secara kelembagaan pondok pesantren al-Aqobah tetap memegang teguh tradisi pesantren klasik sekaligus berinovasi dengan modernitas. Sehingga menjadikan pondok pesantren Al-Aqobah bertransformasi menjadi hybrid yakni menggabungkan salaf (tradisional) dan khalaf (modern). Modernisasi kurikulum pada pondok pesantren Al-Aqobah setidaknya telah memenuhi pendidikan agama (tafaqquh fi al-din), madrasah, sekolah formal, serta pendidikan keterampilan. Sementara modernisasi pada metode pembelajarannya, juga telah menggunakan berbagai perangkat teknologi yang mutakhir guna mendukung tujuan pembelajaran serta penggunaan bahan ajar dan media pembelajaran yang kontemporer
Overview of Indonesian Islamic Education: A Social, Historical and Political Perspective
No full textThe aim of this study is to examine how the historical genealogy of Islamic educational tradition, particularly the tradition of teaching and learning, has contributed to the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. By drawing together in an analytic way a historically based description of the social and political circumstances surrounding Indonesian Islamic education, the study discusses some significant issues concerning the religious base, knowledge base, structural form, and the pedagogical approach of Indonesian Islamic education, all of which are important to the development of a modern form of Islamic education.
The argument of the thesis is that the existing values of the Islamic tradition in education, particularly evident in Madrasah schools, provide a valuable basis for further developing and reconstructing an effective Islamic education system in Indonesia. However, there is also a strong need to construct an Islamic education curriculum in Indonesia that can meet the challenge posed by the circumstances generally understood as 'modernity'. The quality of teaching and learning in the Madrasah are very much influenced by the quality of the wider Islamic education programme. Any change in the curriculum of Islamic education will thus have significant effects on the quality of the Madrasah schools in Indonesia. This thesis will thus conclude by suggesting some implications for further development of Islamic education that arise from the study.
This is a qualitative study using an historical genealogical approach to discover, understand and analyze the challenges currently facing Islamic education In Indonesia. The techniques for collecting data involved, primarily, a critical reading of historical and contemporary policy documents. Primary and secondary sources were also collected, studied and subjected to a critical reading in the production of this account of Indonesian Islamic education

A representação visual da experiência de mulheres mães com a maternidade
No full textTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação) — Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Artes, Departamento de Artes Visuais, 2021.Este trabalho buscou compreender as questões relacionadas com a representação da maternidade na produção plástica desde a antiguidade até o momento atual, a fim de analisar a construção discursiva sobre a maternidade em diferentes momentos da Cultura Ocidental. O estudo possibilitou a problematização dos valores que constroem o olhar social sobre o tema da maternidade e da representação da mulher e a experiência de ser mãe. A pesquisa se baseou na primeira parte, no levantamento e análise de obras nessa temática de diferentes períodos, e na revisão da literatura sobre as questões ligadas à representação da mulher e da maternidade. Em sua segunda parte, a pesquisa se baseou no método da história de vida para o registro de relatos escritos da autora acerca de sua experiência com a maternidade que subsidiaram sua pesquisa poética para a produção de uma série de desenhos sobre a representação da maternidade a partir da experiência real da autora. A pesquisa da história de vida possibilitou uma contraposição entre a representação da maternidade no momento atual com outros períodos da história e suscitou a proposta em arte-educação de uma Oficina para desenvolver com um público de mães um trabalho de expressão e representação de suas experiências pessoais com a maternidade.This work sought to understand the issues related to the representation of motherhood in the visual art production from antiquity to the present moment, in order to analyze the discursive construction on motherhood at different times in Western culture. The study made it possible to problematize the values that build the social view on the theme of motherhood and the representation of women and the experience of being a mother. The research was based on its first part, on a survey and analysis of works on this theme from different historical periods, and on the literature review on issues related to the representation of women and motherhood. In its second part, the research was based on the life´s history method for recording written reports by the author about her experience with motherhood that supported her poetic research to base the production of a series of drawings on motherhood from the perspective of her own motherhood. The research based on life´s history made possible a contrast between the representation of motherhood at the present time with other periods in history and raised the proposal of a workshop in art education for mothers to express and represent their own experiences with their motherhood
Political Trauma and Social Alienation in the Novel „A Wedding Night“ by Adalet Ağaoğlu
No full textOvaj diplomski rad istražuje političku traumu i društveno otuđenje u Republici Turskoj nakon vojnog memoranduma od 12. ožujka 1971. godine na primjeru romana Bir Düğün Gecesi autorice Adalet Ağaoğlu. Kroz teorijski okvir političkog romana, rad analizira Ağaoğluinu kritiku društva, s posebnim osvrtom na kritiku ljevičarskog pokreta i otuđenje pojedinca. Za razliku od klasičnog romana o vojnom udaru, koji se često fokusira na prikaz represivnog iskustva ljevičarskog protagonista, Ağaoğluin roman dublje preispituje razloge neuspjeha ljevičarskog pokreta. Posebna pažnja posvećena je inovativnim narativnim tehnikama, poput autonomnog unutarnjeg monologa. Kroz analizu ovih aspekata, rad pokazuje kako je autorica svojim pristupom nadmašila žanrovske okvire romana o vojnom udaru, pozicionirajući se kao pionirka turskog (post)modernizma i stekla značajno mjesto u kanonu turske književnosti.This thesis explores political trauma and social alienation through the example of the novel Bir Düğün Gecesi by Adalet Ağaoğlu. Within the theoretical framework of the political novel, the thesis analyses Ağaoğlu’s critique of society, with a particular emphasis on the critique of the leftist movement and the alienation of the individual. Unlike the classic March 12 novel, which often centers on portraying the repressive experience of a leftist protagonist, Ağaoğlu’s novel delves deeper into the reasons behind the failure of the leftist movement. Special attention is given to innovative narrative techniques, such as the autonomous inner monologue. Through the analysis of these aspects, the thesis demonstrates how the author, through her approach, transcended the genre boundaries of the March 12 novel, positioning herself as a Pioneer of Turkish (post)modernism and securing a significant place in the canon of Turkish literature
