<p><em><strong>Abstract</strong><br /></em></p><p><em>Moammar Emka’s Jakarta Undercover is a movie that was lifted from four series of works by Moammar Emka with the same little. Moammar Emka’s Jakarta Undercover tells the Jakarta city nightlife that is full of surprises, which includes the ambitions of its citizens, various forms of prostitution and parties that claimed to be unknow, to drugs. This film has a mission voice humanity’s value to society. The director, dawn nugros wants to visualize and raise the issue of violence against women, thuggery, poverty, the screams of minorities. The purpose of this research is to find out the conflicts that occur in women of high sex workers. This research is a qualitative research using John Fiske semiotic analysis through The Televison Codes.<strong> </strong>The results of this study indicate that The Moammar Emka’s Jakarta Undercover movie, represents upper-class commercial sex workers as well some conflicts received by women. And shows the dark side of the Jakarta City, which is carried out by supermodels, officials, and other uppers classes. In addition, this study shows that some of the conflict underlying women work in the world of high class prostitution and invite many risks. That movie also gives a voice to women about gender inequality.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>

Recent debates about personal law and a uniform civil code in India have seen both Hindu and Muslim leaders insist on the ‘religious’ status of Muslim law vis-à-vis a more secular or ‘civil’ Hindu legal system. This article argues that such claims obscure very important similarities in the development and functioning of these legal systems. Tracing the origins of the current debate to late nineteenth and early twentieth-century debates about law reform, it argues that the systems of personal law in operation in India today are the outcome of late colonial attempts by Hindu and Muslim male reformers to alter their legal systems in ways that served their own interests. The ways in which they succeeded in securing these ends were very different; colonial constructions of Hindu and Muslim religious practices, and later partition, shaped the context within which male reformers sought to assert their claims, before the state and their own religious communities. Thus, far from marking an inherent difference between Hindu and Muslim law, claims about the ‘civil’ or ‘religious’ status of the legal systems serve in both cases to underpin particular forms of patriarchal authority and gender inequality.

Extrinsic gettering of Cu on near-surface dislocations in Si has been the topic of recent investigation. It was shown that the Cu precipitated hetergeneously on dislocations as Cu silicide along with voids, and also with a secondary planar precipitate of unknown composition. Here we report the results of investigations of the sense of the strain fields about the large (~100 nm) silicide precipitates, and further analysis of the small (~10-20 nm) planar precipitates.Numerous dark field images were analyzed in accordance with Ashby and Brown's criteria for determining the sense of the strain fields about precipitates. While the situation is complicated by the presence of dislocations and secondary precipitates, micrographs like those shown in Fig. 1(a) and 1(b) tend to show anomalously wide strain fields with the dark side on the side of negative g, indicating the strain fields about the silicide precipitates are vacancy in nature. This is in conflict with information reported on the η'' phase (the Cu silicide phase presumed to precipitate within the bulk) whose interstitial strain field is considered responsible for the interstitial Si atoms which cause the bounding dislocation to expand during star colony growth.
