Between Shari’ah and Secularism
This study examines the controversies surrounding Islamic family law in Tunisia, situated at the intersection of Shari'ah tradition and state-led modernization. Tunisia is widely recognised as a pioneer among Muslim-majority countries for its progressive reform of family law through the enactment of the Majallah al-A?wal al-Shakh?iyyah (Code of Personal Status, CPS) in 1956. This codification outlawed polygyny, granted women the right to petition…
Meaning-focused coping as a cultural process
Chronic Pain of Race and Citizenship
This article is about the torturous and protracted experiences of racialization and migration bureaucracies. I call these experiences of chronic pain. This is to (1) convey the damage they cause in the corporeal and social life of the racialized and the noncitizen and (2) to protest how in such experiences, the subject withdraws from politics. The article is based on ethnographic research at a support group for queer migrants in Helsinki. I locat…

On purpose
This text is about queer (deviant and defiant) modes and methodologies of community and communal projects.I mobilize the multiplicity (and multiple potentialities) of how different members envision and invest in concepts of solidarity, community and belonging.Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork within a support group that mobilized for the rights and wellbeing of queer exiles in Helsinki/Finland, I narrate and analyze how members' proximity in an a…
Displacement in Place and the Financial Crisis in Lebanon
Displacement is underway in Lebanon after financial collapse, but not as events of migration, rather, as processual disruption to people's lives that begins in place, preceding the potential outcome of forced migration. Financial collapse has shifted the population into extremes of constraint, dispossessing them of assets needed to live in valued ways. Widely circulated claims of an exodus are premature. Historic mass emigration from Lebanon occu…
Hope for a better tomorrow”
We explore how Arab adolescents enact critical consciousness to improve their lives and better their community. Eleven first- and second-generation Arab adolescents participated in a Photovoice study and were asked to reflect on and take photos that represented their well-being, daily life, and sense of belonging and community. The participants discussed their photos over multiple group reflection sessions. Thematic analysis highlights how Arab a…

Aviation strikes
People involved in actions at Heathrow, City and Stansted airports reflect on the development of climate justice narratives and how this has evolved over the three 'aviation strikes' at these airports. At the time of the Heathrow action, the focus was on the impact of the aviation industry on the environment, to which Plane Stupid was seeking to draw attention. The City action became a Black Lives Matter action, with the aim of making connections…

More importantly, this note calls for reformative approaches to children's rights through acknowledging the differences between adults and children while simultaneously taking their vulnerability and autonomy into account. After explaining the migrant crisis along with its implications and…
Fusion of Higher Order Spectra and Texture Extraction Methods for Automated Stroke Severity Classification with MRI Images
This paper presents a scientific foundation for automated stroke severity classification. We have constructed and assessed a system which extracts diagnostically relevant information from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. The design was based on 267 images that show the brain from individual subjects after stroke. They were labeled as either Lacunar Syndrome (LACS), Partial Anterior Circulation Syndrome (PACS), or Total Anterior Circulatio…
Disaggregating Jordan’s Syrian refugee response
This is a disaggregated study of different factors which shaped Jordan’s Syrian refugee response. It considers the response’s internal workings and how hosting a large displaced population from the Mediterranean state of Syria is distributed across different public institutions with the involvement of international actors. The argument is that an agenda intent on securing the status quo influences the response, but that it is not always coherentl…
The Relationship Between the Weight of the Placenta, Body Mass Index and Fetal Birth Weight Among Sudanese Women
INTRODUCTION: The liver is the largest gland in the human body, and serves to store nutrients and neutralize harmful compounds. The liver plays a very important role in a number of metabolic, both catabolic and anabolic processes, and is therefore called the "central laboratory" of the organism. If liver disease occurs, they can affect all its parts-liver cells, bile ducts, blood and lymph vessels. The liver is damaged by various toxins, drugs, i…

What Difference do Mayors Make? The Role of Municipal Authorities in Turkey and Lebanon’s Response to Syrian Refugees
With the majority of refugees now in urban areas, mayors and municipal authorities have been recognized as increasingly important policy actors in the global refugee regime. This trend is acknowledged in the policy literature. However, there has been little systematic academic research exploring the conditions under which mayors make a difference to refugee-policy outcomes. Theoretically, we outline a heuristic framework aimed at disaggregating k…

Expanding Method Choice in Africa with Long-Acting Methods
The objective of this article is to review key components of LARC uptake in Sub-Saharan Africa with the aim of guiding policies and programs. We assess trends in access to the IUD and implant, including method knowledge and availability at facilities; examine trends in use, source of supply, discontinuation and characteristics of users; and discuss the prospects for expanding method choice by increasing the availability of LARCs in national progr…
Muqaddimat Li Fiqhi Bi'i Islami
Tulisan ini menyarankan bahwa Fiqh Al biah dalam Islam selalu ada, baik pada level Alkitab & Assunnah maupun dalam warisan peradabah umat Islam. Fiqih tersebut selalu berdiri atas dua pilar utama yaitu Fiqhiil Kitab & Sunnah dan Fiqhul Waki’i (fiqih realita) yang merupakan turunan dari fiqhul kitab wa sunnah itu sendiri. Akan tetapi dengan terganggunya lalu terhentinya perdebaran peradaban umat, maka susunan megah fiqih tersebut ikut terfutupi. B…
Prevalence and assessment of malnutrition among children attending the Reproductive and Child Health clinic at Bagamoyo District Hospital, Tanzania
Hospital and facility attending populations of under-five children in and around Bagamoyo suffer moderately high rates of malnutrition. Current nutrition programs focus on education for at risk children and referral to regional hospitals for malnourished children. Even though the general population has even greater malnutrition than the population presenting at the hospital, in areas of high malnutrition, hospital-based interventions should also …
Pengaruh Tradisi Arab Pra Islam Terhadap Hukuman Rajam
This article was written to answer the question of how the punishment of adultery in the tradition of pre-Islamic Arabia and whether the punishment of stoning in adultery punishment traditions influenced by pre-Islamic?

This is different from the Qur'an which contains only…

I Care for You, Who Cares for Me? Transitio nal Services of Filipino Live-in Caregivers in Canada
Filipino women dominate the Live-in Caregiver Program in Canada since the 1990s. Although their entry is facilitated by a temporary work visa with stringent conditions under this program, there is an evident desire to move through the next immigration route as landed immigrants. The transition from temporary workers to permanent residents appears crucial especially in the lives of Filipino women who pave the way for the sponsorship, settlement, a…
