Abstract The concept of Muslim performativity and the perception of the image of an ordinary Muslim are the central themes of this article. It outlays V. D. Savarkar's and B. R. Ambedkar's views on Muslim performativity ‐ performance of Muslimness or Islamic religiosity. It primarily engages with Savarkar's Essentials of Hindutva (1923) and Ambedkar's Pakistan or the Partition of India ([1945] 2013) and extracts their comments on Muslimness with reference to Muslim invasions and alleged divided loyalty. Apart from highlighting the convergences and divergences in their views on Muslim performativity, it describes their debate as performance. Further, this article argues that a hangover of Savarkarite and Ambedkarite comments on Muslim performativity permeates through the legal production of the Muslim community. By discussing the Muslim community's multifarious attempts to reform family law, this essay engages with the lived reality of Muslim performativity to stress the heterogeneity of Muslimness. By posing the lived reality of Muslim performativity against the dominant discourse in the aforementioned thinkers' works, it contributes a novel approach towards the conceptualization of performativity and departs from Judith Butler's concept of performativity.

The Effect of Gender Discourse in the Development Family Law in Indonesia. One of the social movements that emerged and gained its strength in the second half of the 20th century is feminism movement that encourages a structural change in the patriarchal structure society and equality between men and women. The movement also includes Muslim countries. The struggle of feminism or gender equality gained its momentum when the practice of discrimination towards women prevail in the Muslim community that is supported by treasury classical Islamic law (fiqh). It is on that particular context, the process of family law reform in Muslim countries at the end of the century-20s became an important arena of women's advocacy groups of their rights, as well as incorporate aspects of family law reform.

The issue of sustainability of ijtihad and fatwas to elaborate on polemics of indirect contributions in matrimonial property claims has become an important issue today. The selection of the right ijtihad and fatwa will ensure that critical discussions in this matter can be photographed to a knowledgeable society. There are many findings of jurisprudence writing that stated the main methods in ijtihad and fatwas used by fuqahak of the past and contemporary to draw interesting discussions on this issue, but in the context of indirect contributions in matrimonial property claims, there is still much to be clarified. The main objective of this study is to find out the method of ijtihad and fatwa in the book of fiqh applied by the jurists in this issue. This study is qualitative in which a total of 20 books of turath have been researched and understood descriptively. The main collection methods used were in-depth reading and analysis and narrative evaluation was used to analyze the findings obtained. The results of the analysis prove that the indirect contribution related to housework and outdoor work, can be done Akad al-Ijarah for the wife is eligible to take a certain wage according to the jumhur view. It relates to the limited amount that is still pending payment and is included in the matrimonial property. The study also found that indirect contributions related to outdoor work as well, can be done Akad Syarikat al-Abdan according to the view of the school of al-Hanafiyyah and can be associated with the amount of profits that grow and put into matrimonial property. In addition, the Islamic Family Law Enactment also does not specify in detail the conditions of property ownership as determined by Islamic law. This study suggests that a guideline can be translated into the minds of the Muslim community in Malaysia continuously to ensure that this polemic can be clarified and the benefits to be fought for can be maintained. Abstrak Isu kelestarian ijtihad dan fatwa untuk merungkai polemik dan menyantuni permasalahan sumbangan tidak langsung dalam tuntutan harta sepencarian telah menjadi isu penting pada hari ini. Pemilihan ijtihad dan fatwa yang tepat akan memastikan perbincangan secara kritis dalam hal ini dapat dipotretkan kepada masyarakat yang cakna ilmu. Terdapat banyak dapatan penulisan ilmu fiqah yang menyatakan kaedah utama dalam ijtihad dan fatwa yang digunakan fuqahak zaman silam dan kontemporari untuk melakar perbincangan yang menarik dalam isu yang diketengahkan ini, namun begitu dalam konteks sumbangan tidak langsung dalam tuntutan harta sepencarian, masih banyak yang perlu diperjelaskan. Objektif utama kajian ini ialah untuk mengetahui kaedah ijtihad dan fatwa di dalam kitab fiqah yang diaplikasikan oleh para fuqahak dalam isu ini. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif di mana sejumlah 20 buah kitab turath telah diteliti dan difahami secara deskriptif. Kaedah pengumpulan utama yang digunakan ialah pembacaan dan analisis mendalam dan penilaian naratif telah digunakan untuk menganalisis dapatan yang diperoleh. Hasil analisis membuktikan bahawa sumbangan tak langsung yang berkait dengan hal ehwal rumah dan diluarnya, boleh dilakukan Akad al-Ijarah untuk si isteri layak mengambil upah tertentu mengikut pandangan jumhur. Ia berkaitan dengan jumlah terhad yang masih tertangguh pembayarannya dan dimasukkan ke dalam harta sepencarian. Kajian juga mendapati bahawa sumbangan tak langsung yang berkait dengan kerja luar rumah juga, boleh dilakukan Akad Syarikat al-Abdan mengikut pandangan mazhab al-Hanafiyyah dan boleh dikaitkan dengan jumlah keuntungan yang berkembang dan dimasukkan ke dalam harta sepencarian. Selain itu, Enakman Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam juga tidak mengkhususkan secara terperinci syarat-syarat pemilikan harta yang ditentukan oleh hukum syarak. Kajian ini mencadangkan supaya satu garis panduan dapat diterjemahkan dalam minda masyarakat Islam di Malaysia secara berterusan untuk memastikan polemik yang berkecamuk ini dapat diperjelaskan dan terjaga kemaslahatan yang ingin diperjuangkan.

Cancer Models

Platinum-containing drugs such as cisplatin and carboplatin are routinely used for the treatment of many solid tumors including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). However, SCCHN resistance to platinum compounds is well documented. The resistance to platinum has been linked to the activity of divalent transporter ATP7B, which pumps platinum from the cytoplasm into lysosomes, decreasing its concentration in the cytoplasm. Several cancer models show increased expression of ATP7B; however, the reason for such an increase is not known. Here we show a strong positive correlation between mRNA levels of TMEM16A and ATP7B in human SCCHN tumors. TMEM16A overexpression and depletion in SCCHN cell lines caused parallel changes in the ATP7B mRNA levels. The ATP7B increase in TMEM16A-overexpressing cells was reversed by suppression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), by the antioxidant N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) and by copper chelation using cuprizone and bathocuproine sulphonate (BCS). Pretreatment with either chelator significantly increased cisplatin's sensitivity, particularly in the context of TMEM16A overexpression. We propose that increased oxidative stress in TMEM16A-overexpressing cells liberates the chelated copper in the cytoplasm, leading to the transcriptional activation of ATP7B expression. This, in turn, decreases the efficacy of platinum compounds by promoting their vesicular sequestration. We think that such a new explanation of the mechanism of SCCHN tumors’ platinum resistance identifies novel approach to treating these tumors.

Reading And Spelling Difficulties

Purpose Morphological interventions promote gains in morphological knowledge and in other oral and written language skills (e.g., phonological awareness, vocabulary, reading, and spelling), yet we have a limited understanding of critical intervention features. In this clinical focus article, we describe a relatively novel approach to teaching morphology that considers its role as the key organizing principle of English orthography. We also present a clinical example of such an intervention delivered during a summer camp at a university speech and hearing clinic. Method Graduate speech-language pathology students provided a 6-week morphology-focused orthographic intervention to children in first through fourth grade ( n = 10) who demonstrated word-level reading and spelling difficulties. The intervention focused children's attention on morphological families, teaching how morphology is interrelated with phonology and etymology in English orthography. Results Comparing pre- and posttest scores, children demonstrated improvement in reading and/or spelling abilities, with the largest gains observed in spelling affixes within polymorphemic words. Children and their caregivers reacted positively to the intervention. Therefore, data from the camp offer preliminary support for teaching morphology within the context of written words, and the intervention appears to be a feasible approach for simultaneously increasing morphological knowledge, reading, and spelling. Conclusion Children with word-level reading and spelling difficulties may benefit from a morphology-focused orthographic intervention, such as the one described here. Research on the approach is warranted, and clinicians are encouraged to explore its possible effectiveness in their practice. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12290687
