REKONSTRUKSI US}U>>L AL-FIQH MUHAMMAD HASHIM KAMALI
No full textThe science of us {u> l al-Fiqh as a theory of Islamic law in its development at this time continues to be made efforts to improve by experts, both in terms of the formation of the appearance of the theory chart to the basic concepts of thought. Muhammad Hashim Kamali is one of the figures recognized as having new ideas in reconstructing Islamic legal theory. Kamali offers the chart design of us {u> l al-Fiqh by combining two approaches, namely the doctriner-normative approach and the empirical-historical approach. The doctrinaire-normative approach is the basic concept of us {u> l al-Fiqh as it is directed in the discourse of classical ulama thought. While the empirical-historical approach is a new format that has become a trend of study in the contemporary era. From the research the authors conclude that basically the Kamali formula theory design displays the reconstruction of us {u> l al-Fiqh in a simplified style of normative materials of us {u> l al-Fiqh accompanied by the appearance of new formations and actual explanations. Reconstruction of this model can be a reference in efforts to restore the main function of us {u> l al-Fiqh as an applicable Islamic legal theory
A cross-sectional analysis of ex-smokers and characteristics associated with quitting smoking: The Polish Norwegian Study (PONS)
No full textTobacco smoking remains a number one preventable risk factor of premature death worldwide. Findings of recent research show concurrent trends of lung cancer deaths in males and females in Europe. Although lung cancer death rates are consistently decreasing in male population, in women an upward trend is observed. The burden of tobacco-related harm can be prevented by smoking cessation. The main goal of this analysis is to identify the crucial correlates of successful smoking cessation in the middle-aged Polish population. The data came from 13 172 survey participants south-eastern part of Poland as part of the PONS cohort study established in 2010. A total of 6998 records of those who were either ex-smokers or current smokers at baseline were analyzed. We applied logistic regression and adjusted for sociodemographic covariates and health determinants. Characteristics related to being an ex-smoker as opposed to a current smoker included: older age [men: odds ratio (OR)=1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.01-1.05; women: OR=1.05, 95% CI=1.03-1.07], being married or living together, having secondary (OR=1.51, 95% CI=1.14-1.99) or higher (OR=2.30, 95% CI=1.75-3.18) education (women), full-time employment (men), alcohol consumer (women), being overweight (men: OR=2.85, 95% CI=2.26-3.59; women: OR=1.60, 95% CI=1.36-1.87) or obese (men: OR=3.47, 95% CI=2.67-4.51; women: OR=2.99, 95% CI=2.45-3.65), having normal fasting glucose and cholesterol blood level without any treatment (women), assessing their own health highly (9-10, on the scale from 1 to 10) and having at least one accompanying chronic disease (women, OR=1.25, 95% CI=1.07-1.45). These findings provide valuable information on characteristics of ex-smokers as well as behavioral and sociodemographic predictors of successful cessation. Such data expand our knowledge and can be used to design a more comprehensive and targeted group-specific tobacco control policy focused on increasing the number of ex-smokers

An analysis of the relationship between the international economic-legal regime and the achievement of balanced and stable growth through the international economic cycle
No full textThe global economy is controlled by an 'international economic–legal regime' (hereinafter
"IELR"), in which international economic institutions (hereinafter "IEIs") are the major nonstate
actors. They provide the rules of the game for the interaction of the States in an
international economic scenario. These IEIs, through their institutional capacity, enhance
certainty and predictability within the IELR, thereby passively supporting stable and a balanced
growth of global economy.
This thesis argues that opportunities to achieve stable and balanced growth, in which both the
financial and the real side of the economy grow, can be improved if the IEIs increase their focus
on the relationship between the Economic Cycle and the IEIs' institutional role. This argument
is developed by analysing the relationship between the IEIs' institutional role and the Economic
Cycle, first describing the Economic Cycle, and then clarifying the functioning of the IEIs in
their institutional role. To narrow the scope of this research, this thesis takes two IEIs as case
studies; namely, the IMF and the WTO
STUDI PEMIKIRAN MUSTAFA AKYOL DAN HASHIM KAMALI TERHADAP PENERAPAN SANKSI APOSTASI: ANALISIS HERMENEUTIKA NEGOSIATIF
No full textThe death penalty for people who left from Islam is contrary to religious freedom. Human rights, which is the dominant discourse today, calls for a re-reading of the death penalty. The implication, there are many scholars who re-think the punishment of apostasy. Among them are Mustafa Akyol and Hashim Kamali who goes into this line. If the first name lives in the middle of a society where Muslims are a minority (America), then it is different from the last name. Hashim Kamali disseminated his ideas in Malaysia, one of the countries adhering to classical Islamic traditions. The fundamental question in this study is how the sanctions of apostasy are discussed again by the two thinkers.
This type of research is qualitative with future data on a library study (library research). These research data are derived from the representative works of Mustafa Akyol and Hashim Kamali on the subject of apostasy. Furthermore, the findings of their thinking are studied through the framework of negotiative hermeneutic theory. This theory was initiated by Khaled Abou El Fadl who pointed to the negotiations between the three entities, the author, the text and the reader. There are three key variables in discussing the thinking of Mustafa Akyol and Hashim Kamali. From texts and authority, the discourse of authoritarianism to the anatomy of the discourses of authority. Based on that, the approach taken here is socio-legal.
The first conclusion both Mustafa Akyol and Hashim Kamali have rejected the death penalty for apostasy. Second conclusion is using three variables when being analyzed by negotiative hermeneutic. In text and authority is able to be seen how a text is formed and its relationship with the social reality that surrounds it. The differences between the public who became the audience of them necessitate the differences in steps in the re-reading of this topic. On the discourse of authoritarianism can be reviewed the formation of non-authoritarian law by placing it as an entity that is constantly changing. Besides meeting the five prerequisites set by the hermeneutics of negotiations. In the anatomy of authoritarian discourse, there are three things that are discussed: consistency, a selective attitude to signs to the balance of interests and rationality. These two thinkers consistently use their respective steps in this topic. While Mustafa Akyol is selective to the sign, unlike Hashim Kamali. Despite this, they met at the same point with the conclusion that there is no death penalty for apostate perpetrators. This discussion is based on the success of both merging the importance of preserving religion and protecting human rights
Biological and phytochemical studies of five Malaysian Uncaria species / Hashimah Mohd Hashim
No full textIn this study, five species of Uncaria (family Rubiaceae) also known as “Gambir” widely used as traditional medicine in Malaysia were evaluated for their biological activities as well as phytochemical and total phenolic contents. They are U. calophylla, U. acida, U. lucida, U. cordata and U. longiflora var pteropoda. The methanolic extracts of the plants are subjected to various bioassays including antioxidant, radical scavenging (by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl or DPPH) method, antimicrobial (by hole-plate diffusion method) and antihyperglycemic assay (in-vitro inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme and in-vivo assay). The total phenolic content (TPC) of the plants was evaluated by the Folin-Ciocalteau method. All tested extracts exhibited very strong antioxidant potential (>85% inhibition) in the FTC and TBA assays. In the DPPH assay, U. longiflora (stems and leaves) showed strong radical-scavenging properties with IC50 values of 8-10 µg/ml comparable to vitamin C. In the antimicrobial assay, most extracts displayed good antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. U. longiflora was found to inhibit Candida albicans with MIC value of <1.0 µg/ml for both leaves and stems comparable to cyclohexamide. In the in-vitro and in-vivo assays, U. longiflora (stems), U. acida (leaves) and U. cordata (stems) showed very good antihyperglycemic potential. On the basis of chemical and biological screening, U. longiflora (stems) was selected for phytochemical investigation. Repeated chromatographic techniques on the bioactive fraction resulted in the isolation of two major compounds ULs1 and ULs2 identified as pentacyclic alkaloids isomitraphylline and isopteropodine based on 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data. ULs1 exhibited stronger antioxidant and α-glucosidase activities than ULs2 which could relate to better immuno-modulatory properties of isomitraphylline. In the αglucosidase inhibitory assay, these two compounds also showed dose-dependent activities indicating their potential as antihyperglycemic agents for type II diabetes
