Published: October 2018

Meningiomas in dogs occur more commonly in the brain than in the cranial spinal cord. Intramedullary spinal cord tumours in dogs are described infrequently and present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A nine-year-old Beagle dog was referred because of tetraparesis of a 20-day duration. The neurological signs were suggestive of a selective lesion involving the cervical spinal cord. Sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical vertebral column revealed a ventral, well-circumscribed mass within the vertebral canal at the level of cervical segment 6 (C6). A primary neoplasia was considered as probable differential diagnosis. The mass was removed by cervical laminectomy, durotomy and gentle dissections. On the basis of histological and immunohistochemical findings, a diagnosis of transitional meningioma (grade I) was made. Treatment of the meningioma with surgery resulted in a complete recovery, the dog was able to walk 21 days after surgery and had normal walk two months after presentation. Clinicopathologic and treatment data of cranial intraspinal meningiomas have been reported sporadically, but a segment 6 location was not thoroughly described before.

The Kurdish Struggle in Turkey as a “Total Social Movement”, 2013-2015
Authors: Sen Elsa Tulin
Published: October 2018

The Kurdish movement’s decision to operate within and in opposition to the Turkish state reached a peak between 2013 and 2015. Three major events took place during this time period: the launch of the 2013 peace process, the 2014 presidential elections, and the June 2015 general elections. The principal driving force behind these campaigns was an important project put forward by Kurdish activists, which they termed as Türkiyelileşme [Turkeyfication]: an inclusive definition of national identity, which accepted being an integral part of Turkey while at the same time belonging to an ethnic group other than Turkish.Basing the argument on the Kurdish activists’ capacity to combine civil society activism and their promotion of democracy with the articulation of a national identity, this article considers the dynamics of the Kurdish movement along the lines of a “total social movement” between 2013 and 2015. Put forward by the sociologist Alain Touraine, a total social movement is a three-dimensional movement with social, political and national levels of action. It embodies fierce opposition between adversaries, but does not opt for violence no matter what the challenges are.

Authors: McMillan Merlin , Antunes Rita , Medeiros Paula , Silva Filipe Glória
Published: October 2018

INTRODUÇÃO: A perturbação de hiperatividade/défice de atenção (PHDA) afeta 5% das crianças em idade escolar e associa-se frequentemente a Perturbação Desafiante de Oposição. O questionário Swanson, Nolan e Pelham, ver-são IV, do estudo Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (MTA-SNAP-IV) foi desenvolvido nos EUA para monitorizar a evolução dos sintomas destas perturbações. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a adaptação cultural do MTA-SNAP-IV para o Português Europeu (MTA-SNAP-IV-pt-PT).MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Foi utilizada uma metodologia de tradução e retrotradução com avaliação da equivalência semântica, comparação com os critérios de diagnóstico DSM-5, síntese de versões finais pela equipa de tradução e pré-teste na população-alvo.RESULTADOS: As discrepâncias detetadas no processo de tradução e retrotradução foram resolvidas procurando equivalência semântica com o original e facilidade de compreensão para pessoas com baixa literacia. Na versão por-tuguesa final, 14 itens foram considerados semelhantes ao inglês, 12 foram considerados aproximados e 2 foram considerados diferentes. No pré-teste realizado com um grupo de pais e professores (n = 20), o questionário foi considerado claro e de preenchimento fácil.DISCUSSÃO: A versão em Português Europeu ficou diferente da tradução em Português do Brasil, que não se mos-trou adequada para Portugal. O MTA-SNAP-IV-pt-PT apresenta uma boa correspondência com os critérios de diag-nóstico do DSM-5 pelo que apresenta validade de conteúdo.
Tinnitus in Adults, a Health Problem: Implications for the Society and the Scientific Community
Authors: Haider Haúla Faruk , Paço João C. , Hall Deborah A.
Published: October 2018

Tinnitus is a phantom sound perceived in the absence of external acoustic stimulation, which is only heard by the affected person. It is described in a variety of ways and can be a single sound or combination of different sounds. Tinnitus is related to many other conditions and has an impact in the quality of life of the affected person. However, pathophysiological mechanisms underlying tinnitus and their basic biological remains unknown. One of the major challenges, concerning the heterogeneity of the tinnitus condition, is the lack of standardization in research and clinical management. For this, the TINNET, a European Cost Action for research, has the main objective to developbetter strategies for diagnosis and management. The establishment of guidelines for clinical diagnosis, treatment, neuroimaging assessments and outcome assessment, through the identification of clinically meaningful tinnitus subtypes, provides an important basis for the standardization of clinical research and management of tinnitus.
A INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL E O PANORAMA CONTEMPORÂNEO DA FILOSOFIA DA MENTE EM UM ESTUDO INTRODUTÓRIO PARA A FORMA ELETRÔNICA DO PROCESSO
Authors: Fontes André
Published: October 2018

Os avanços tecnológicos, como é de conhecimento geral, demoram a ser plenamente incorporados pelo Poder Judiciário, em função da resistência sistemática e anacrônica, que pode ser constatada, com raras exceções, nos órgão que o integram em todo o País. Esses aparatos causam natural estranheza inicial, mas, na verdade, não provocam qualquer prejuízo; ao contrário, colaboram para a celeridade e efetividade da prestação da tutela jurisdicional. É por isso que, atualmente, os Tribunais não anulam mais decisões e atos processuais elaborados sob a forma datilografada, através do uso de microcomputadores ou mesmo pela utilização de impressoras a laser. Nesse contexto, o propósito deste trabalho é demonstrar a possibilidade de utilização de recursos tecnológicos disponíveis em processos judiciais, como forma de promover o aprimoramento e a efetividade das atividades jurisdicionais. Os recursos cibernéticos em desenvolvimento, como serão expostos, poderão complementar, inclusive, o exercício da jurisdição, através da utilização da Inteligência Artificial.

Teorijsko-filozofsko utemeljenje knjižnične i informacijske znanosti u filozofiji informacije
Authors: Ferlindeš Josip , Špiranec Sonja
Published: October 2018

Cilj. Cilj je rada prikazati te provesti kritičku analizu konceptualnog opsega i potencijalnog dosega filozofije informacije Luciana Floridija kao pokušaja teorijsko-filozofskog utemeljenja knjižnične i informacijske znanosti. Filozofska i intelektualna utemeljenost znanstvene discipline ključni je čimbenik njezine znanstvene snage, statusa i identiteta, a upravo za knjižničnu i informacijsku znanost moguće je iznijeti konstataciju da konsenzus o filozofskim premisama te discipline ne postoji, što donosi brojne posljedice poput krize identiteta ili propitivanja njezine znanstvene snage.

Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Primjenom kvalitativnog pristupa analize literature ispituju se temeljni koncepti Floridijevih radova koji se suprotstavljaju ranijim filozofskim pristupima u knjižničnoj i informacijskoj znanosti te propituju s afirmativnih i kritičkih stajališta.

Rezultati. Obrazloženo je zašto raniji pokušaji filozofskog utemeljenja discipline, poput Popperove teorije o tri svijeta i socijalne epistemologije, ne mogu pružiti zadovoljavajuće teorijsko utemeljenje knjižničnoj i informacijskoj znanosti. Na temelju analize kritičkog i afirmativnog pristupa ideji o knjižničnoj i informacijskoj znanosti kao primijenjenoj filozofiji informacije i ključnih Floridijevih koncepata koji su ekvivalentni problemskim težištima koje je iznjedrilo suvremeno kompleksno informacijsko okruženje, donosi se zaključak o filozofiji informacije kao produktivnom uporištu za teorijsko utemeljenje knjižnične i informacijske znanosti.

Originalnost/vrijednost. Rad pozicionira knjižničnu i informacijsku znanost u konceptualni prostor filozofije informacije. Pritom polazi od konstatacije o krizi identiteta u informacijskim disciplinama i prepoznaje upravo filozofiju informacije kao uporište teorijsko-filozofskog utemeljenja koje je neophodno u prevladavanju krize. Rad ujedno popunjava relativnu prazninu u hrvatskoj literaturi u kojoj Floridijevi koncepti i pogled na knjižničnu i informacijsku znanost nisu detaljnije obrađivani.

Authors: Krpan Keti , Mršić Iva , Cej Višnja
Published: October 2018

Cilj. Svrha je ovog rada prikazati kako se može primjenjivati razvojna biblioterapija na odjelima za djecu i mlade u narodnim knjižnicama.

Pristup. Razvoju emocionalnih i socijalnih kompetencija kod djece i mladih pridonosi korištenje razvojne biblioterapije koju često provode knjižničari u sklopu raznovrsnih knjižničnih programa unutar suvremene knjižnice. Rad je proizašao iz dugogodišnjeg iskustva autorica u radu s djecom i mladima, a strukturiran je metodom analize i usporedbe tekstova.

Rezultati. Za uspješno provođenje biblioterapijskog procesa potrebno je osigurati preduvjete kao što su mogućnost uspješne komunikacije s djecom, uspostavljanje dobre grupne povezanosti i razumijevanje grupne dinamike te izbor odgovarajuće građe. Rezultati pokazuju potrebu za brojnim kompetencijama knjižničara koji rade na odjelima za djecu i mlade.

Originalnost. Rad prikazuje kako provođenje razvojne biblioterapije pomaže djeci i mladima u rješavanju problema s kojima se susreću tijekom odrastanja. Za provjeru učinkovitosti pronađenog rješenja u biblioterapijskom procesu, rad naglašava i nudi tehniku dramske ili lutkarske igre.
Interoperabilnost zapisa ocjenskih radova u Dabru
Authors: Holub Karolina , Jertec Ljiljana
Published: October 2018

Cilj. Cilj je ovog rada upoznavanje knjižničarske zajednice sa sustavom za obradu, pohranu i objavu ocjenskih radova u digitalnom obliku. Posebno je naglašen radni proces za pohranjivanje radova u repozitorije u Dabru koji je baziran na automatiziranom preuzimanju velikog broja podataka iz različitih sustava kako bi se u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri olakšao i ubrzao unos, osigurala točnost te smanjila redundantnost podataka. Za opis radova koristi se osnovni set elemenata Dublin Core te detaljnija, hijerarhijski organizirana metapodatkovna shema MODS koja se sastoji od elemenata, podelemenata i atributa koji ih dodatno opisuju. Kako bi se zapisi ocjenskih radova uspješno razmjenjivali s drugim sustavima, svaki zapis dostupan je putem OAI-PMH-sučelja pojedinog repozitorija u Dabru.

Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Rad je informativnog karaktera i objašnjava načine rada u sustavu Dabar, ali i zakonski okvir ustanova koje su obveznici dostave i pohrane radova.

Rezultati. U radu su navedeni statistički podaci o količini pohranjenih i dostupnih ocjenskih radova kroz Nacionalni repozitorij završnih i diplomskih radova (ZIR), odnosno Nacionalni repozitorij disertacija i znanstvenih magistarskih radova (DR), te statistički podaci posjećenosti navedenih repozitorija. Naveden je popis sustava iz kojih repozitoriji u sustavu Dabar preuzimaju metapodatke i radove, kao i popis sustava putem kojih su zapisi repozitorija dostupni.

Praktična primjena. Rad je namijenjen svim knjižničarima i IT-stručnjacima koji su uključeni u rad s repozitorijima i imaju obavezu dostave i pohrane ocjenskih radova.

Originalnost/vrijednost. Uz osnovne procese s kojima su knjižnice do sada bile upoznate, radom se željelo upoznati s naprednim mogućnostima razmjene koje sustav pruža, ali i dati informacije o vanjskim sustavima u kojima se mogu pronaći hrvatski ocjenski radovi u digitalnom obliku.
Arhiv knjižničarske udruge
Authors: Bačić Edita , Kovačić Mihaela
Published: October 2018

Cilj. Ukazati na važnost i potrebu da regionalne knjižničarske udruge u Hrvatskoj kao privatni stvaratelji i imatelji arhivskog gradiva vode o njemu sustavnu i standardiziranu brigu bez obzira na vrstu nosioca informacije.

Metodologija. Propituju se teorijske postavke, zakonska regulativa i mogućnosti nadležnih državnih arhiva u odnosu na knjižničarske udruge. Kao model istraživanja dobre i loše prakse upravljanja arhivskim gradivo uzeto je gradivo Društva knjižničara u Splitu. Usto, procjenjuje se mogućnost da se osnovnom korpusu gradiva pridruže privatni arhivi/zbirke fizičkih osoba – članova knjižničarske udruge.

Rezultati. Svrha objedinjavanja gradiva jest stvaranje što cjelovitije dokumentacije o djelovanju knjižničarske zajednice u određenom prostoru i vremenu. Preduvjet je za to detaljnije reguliranje upravljanja pripadajućim arhivskim gradivom kroz dokumente knjižničarske udruge. Potvrdu tih promišljanja nalazimo i u praksi međunarodne knjižničarske zajednice (American Library Association Archive, Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionnals i Associazione Italiana Biblioteche).

Originalnost rada. Ukazuje se na to da je na putu prema stvaranju što cjelovitijeg arhiva knjižničarske zajednice, jedinstvenog ne u fizičkom smislu, već u tematskom obuhvatu gradiva kod različitih stvaratelja i imatelja, već sada potrebno sustavno i standardizirano dokumentiranje njezina djelovanja na lokalnoj i nacionalnoj razini. Pritom je poželjan partnerski i savjetodavni odnos s arhivističkom zajednicom.
Povezivanje digitalnih podataka iz distribuiranih izvora na primjeru izgradnje virtualne izložbe Crteži Huga Conrada von Hötzendorfa
Authors: Perkec Marija , Vlašić Jurić Vesna
Published: October 2018

Cilj. Virtualne izložbe predstavljaju važan oblik okupljanja i predstavljanja digitalne kulturne baštine. Cilj je rada predstaviti značajke postupka povezivanja digitalnih podataka iz distribuiranih izvora na primjeru digitalizacije građe, fizičke izložbe, digitalne tematske zbirke građe Huga Conrada von Hötzendorfa i virtualne izložbe Crteži Huga Conrada von Hötzendorfa. Povezivanje digitalnih podataka iz distribuiranih izvora u obliku virtualne izložbe trebalo bi omogućiti interpretaciju i kontekstualizaciju crteža iz fonda Zbirke s drugim vanjskim izvorima podataka.

Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. U radu se opisuju faze izrade izložbe od obrade građe, pripreme i izrade fizičke izložbe, digitalizacije i izrade digitalne zbirke do izrade virtualne izložbe. U radu se prikazuju prednosti korištenja formata MARC 21 zbog standardiziranosti prikaza, korisničke dostupnosti bibliografskog zapisa na mrežnom katalogu, ali i mogućnosti obogaćivanja zapisa povratnom poveznicom na digitalni repozitorij i virtualnu izložbu te prepreke u integraciji podataka različitih sustava (Aleph, Indigo i WordPress).

Rezultati. Rezultat je izrada virtualne izložbe koja omogućuje jedinstvenu interpretaciju koju je zbog kompleksnosti teme, interdisciplinarnog pristupa te disperzije građe bilo nemoguće realizirati u okviru fizičke izložbe. Izradi virtualne izložbe prethodila je izrada digitalne zbirke u sustavu Digitalne zbirke Nacionalne i sveučilišne knjižnice u Zagrebu gdje su podaci iz sustava Aleph preneseni u sustav Indigo zahvaljujući interoperabilnosti tih sustava. Inovativan način prezentiranja takve vrste građe može biti primjer i daljini poticaj za širenje informacija i znanja, kao i digitalno predstavljanje bogate kulturne baštine širem krugu različitih korisnika.

Originalnost/vrijednost. Vrijednost je ove virtualne izložbe u kvaliteti platforme WordPress koja omogućuje okupljanje i kreativno predstavljanje građe iz različitih izvora te vizualizaciju podataka. To je prva virtualna izložba izrađena za likovnu građu Grafičke zbirke Nacionalne i sveučilišne knjižnice u Zagrebu, koja je donijela razvojni pomak unosom oznaka (tagova).

Published: October 2018

Cilj. Rad ukazuje na važnost provođenja programa informacijskog opismenjavanja u narodnim knjižnicama. Cilj je rada prikazati program Informacijsko opismenjavanje tinejdžera Gradske knjižnice Zadar i rezultate istraživanja koje je provedeno radi vrednovanja programa. U istraživanju se analizira zadovoljstvo i mišljenje sudionika programa, učenika osnovnih i srednjih škola, s obzirom na njegovu jasnoću, razumljivost, korisnost i zanimljivost. Metodologija. U anketnom istraživanju programa Informacijsko opismenjavanje tinejdžera za prikupljanje podataka korišten je anketni upitnik kreiran za tu svrhu. Rezultati. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da je u narodnoj knjižnici moguće osmisliti i provesti kvalitetne programe poput programa Informacijsko opismenjavanje tinejdžera u Gradskoj knjižnici Zadar. Rezultati pokazuju da učenici osnovnih i srednjih škola u velikom postotku pozitivno ocjenjuju zanimljivost teme, jasnu i razumljivu prezentaciju sadržaja i stjecanje novih znanja za koja smatraju da će im koristiti u daljnjem školovanju. Originalnost. Rad nastoji ukazati na potrebu provođenja programa informacijskog opismenjavanja, kakav je za tinejdžersku populaciju u narodnoj knjižnici rijetkost. Opisujući faze nastanka, koncept i promidžbene aktivnosti programa Informacijsko opismenjavanje tinejdžera Gradske knjižnice Zadar, dan je model za oblikovanje srodnih programa. U hrvatskoj stručnoj literaturi nedovoljno je istraživanja na temu informacijske pismenosti u narodnim knjižnicama, a vrednovanja programa opismenjavanja tinejdžera gotovo da i nema. Rezultati vrednovanja programa s obzirom na učenike osnovnih i srednjih škola mogu poslužiti kao polazište u formiranju sadržaja sličnih programa te kao smjerokaz za unapređivanje postojećih.
Evaluation of some synthetic acaricides against Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) in Turkey: an indication of resistance or misuse of fumigant amitraz?
Authors: GİRİŞGİN Ahmet Onur , ÖZÜİÇLİ Mehmet , BAH Saidal Ali , GİRİŞGİN Oya , AYDIN Levent
Published: October 2018

The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor is one of the most important agents for substantial
losses in honeybee colonies throughout the world. Several acaricides consisting of synthetic and organic compounds
are being used to combat mite. This study was
conducted to determine the efficacies of three synthetic acaricides in
naturally infested honeybee colonies at consecutive two autumn seasons.
Acaricides were commercial preparations of coumaphos (liquid and plastic strips),
amitraz (fumigation and plastic strip) and flumethrin (plastic and wooden strips)
as a treatment group consisting of eight hives per drug. A control group was
kept in both seasons. All drugs were applied as prescribed to the homogenised
Varroa-infested honeybee colonies at consecutive two years. The evaluation of efficacies was
based on the collected mite percentage obtained with powdered sugar
method and it was calculated through Henderson-Tilton’s formula. Dropped mites
onto the pollen drawers were also evaluated statistically and drugs were compared to
each other. Results showed us the effective drugs (up to 90%) were amitraz
plastic strip, flumethrin wooden strip
and coumaphos plastic strip with 98.5%, 96.5%, and 93.2% averages, respectively
according to formula if evaluated within two autumn seasons. Fumigation of
amitraz is not sufficient if compared to
others and the control group. This data is
discussed for suspicion of the possible resistance of mites or misuse
of the product with this kind of application.

Published: October 2018

Purpose: The purpose of these studies are (1) to validate the IReST in an English-speaking Canadian sample; and (2) examine how reading comprehension questions and reduced visual acuity effect reading speed on the IReST.Materials & Methods: Study 1: Canadian English speakers (n=25) read all 10 IReST following the procedures used in the original IReST validation. Study 2: Canadian English speakers (n=50) read all 10 IReST, half with normal/corrected-to-normal vision and half with reduced visual acuity, and were asked reading comprehension questions.Results: No significant differences were found between Canadian sample and the published IReST values (in all cases p>.05, Mdiff=[-5.30,11.43], Cohen’s d=[-.15, .27], Bayes Factors=[0.41,0.09]). Assessing reading comprehension with multiple choice questions on the IReST significantly reduced reading speeds in the normal vision condition (Mdiff=25.3, 95% CI=[-16.7,-34.1]) and in the simulated impairment condition (Mdiff=59.3, 95% CI [-47.7,-71]).Conclusions: The IReST is a valid measure that can be used to assess reading speed in a Canadian English speaking sample. If researchers/clinicians wish to assess both reading speed and comprehension, using multiple choice reading comprehension questions, then the values provided by the IReST will likely overestimate an individual’s true reading speed in individuals with normal/corrected-to-normal vision and reduced visual acuity.
Needleless electrospinning of PVP/PGS fibrous scaffolds for skin tissue engineering applications

Published: October 2018

Scaffolds and implants used for tissue engineering need to be adapted for their mechanical properties with respect to their environment within the human body. Therefore, a novel composite for skin tissue engineering is presented by use of blends of Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) were fabricated via the needleless electrospinning technique. The formed PGS/PVP blends were morphologically, thermochemically and mechanically characterized. The morphology of the developed fibers related to the concentration of PGS, with high concentrations of PGS merging the fibers together plasticizing the scaffold. The tensile modulus appeared to be affected by the concentration of PGS within the blends, with an apparent decrease in the elastic modulus of the electrospun mats and an exponential increase of the elongation at break. Ultraviolet (UV) crosslinking of PGS/PVP significantly decreased and stabilized the wettability of the formed fiber mats, as indicated by contact angle measurements. In vitro examination showed good viability and proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts over the period of a week. The present findings provide important insights for tuning the elastic properties of electrospun material by incorporating this unique elastomer, as a promising future candidate for skin substitute constructs.

The ordinary business of macroeconometric modeling: working on the Fed-MIT-Penn model (1964-1974)
Authors: Cherrier Beatrice , Backhouse Roger
Published: October 2018

The FMP model exemplifies the Keynesian models later criticized by Lucas, Sargent and others as conceptually flawed. For economists in the 1960s such models were “big science”, posing organizational as well as theoretical and empirical problems. It was part of an even larger industry in which the messiness for which such models were later criticized was endorsed as providing enabling modelers to be guided by data and as offering the flexibility needed to undertake policy analysis and to analyze the consequences of events. Practices that critics considered fatal weaknesses, such as intercept adjustments or fudging, were what clients were what clients paid for as the macroeconometric modeling industry went private.

Purpose: This study evaluated the impact of a quality improvement programme based on self- and peer assessment to justify nationwide implementation. Method: Four professional networks of physiotherapists in The Netherlands (n = 379) participated in the programme, which consisted of two cycles of online self-assessment and peer assessment using video recordings of client communication and clinical records. Assessment was based on performance indicators that could be scored on a 5-point Likert scale, and online assessment was followed by face-to-face feedback discussions. After cycle 1, participants developed personal learning goals. These goals were analyzed thematically, and goal attainment was measured using a questionnaire. Improvement in performance was tested with multilevel regression analyses, comparing the self-assessment and peer-assessment scores in cycles 1 and 2. Results: In total, 364 (96%) of the participants were active in online self-assessment and peer assessment. However, online activities varied between cycle 1 and cycle 2 and between client communication and recordkeeping. Personal goals addressed client-centred communication (54%), recordkeeping (24%), performance and outcome measurement (15%), and other (7%). Goals were completely attained (29%), partly attained (64%), or not attained at all (7%). Self-assessment and peer-assessment scores improved significantly for both client communication (self-assessment = 11%; peer assessment = 8%) and recordkeeping (self-assessment = 7%; peer assessment = 4%). Conclusions: Self-assessment and peer assessment are effective in enhancing commitment to change and improving clinical performance. Nationwide implementation of the programme is justified. Future studies should address the impact on client outcomes.

RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION IN BUSINESS AS MATRIMONIAL PROPERTY: THE MALAYSIAN EXPERIENCE
Authors: Abd Ghadas Zuhairah Ariff , Ibrahim Norliah
Published: October 2018

It is a deep wish of ‘most’ married couples that the marriage will last until ‘death do as part.’ Nonetheless, despite this wish, it is often found that a crisis occurs between married couples when it comes to money matters, more so if the concern is about a business which both parties foresee as a source of wealth. The right of participation in business is more than the right to share profits of the business. It also involves the management right and decision making power. Upon a divorce, it is common for the lucky ex-spouse to get certain percentage of shares in the business and therefore entitled to certain amount of dividend annually but rarely does one find the right to participation in the business is retained or given to the ex-couples. Whilst in practice the right to participate in the business is more significant and worth more than the shares! This article looks into participation rights in business as part of the matrimonial property in the due course of a divorce.
ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW IN THE MALAYSIAN FEDERAL STRUCTURE: A CONSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: A. Aziz Shamrahayu
Published: October 2018

States in a federal type of government are allowed a certain amount of autonomy. Under the Malaysian federal structure Islamic criminal law has been put under state jurisdiction. Despite this clear position various questions pertaining to the state jurisdiction on Islamic criminal have recently been raised. This article seeks to discuss those issues in the light of the relevant constitutional provisions and judicial decisions.
REGIONAL PLANNING AUTHORITY IN MALAYSIA: LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
Authors: Maidin Ainul Jaria , Abdul Kader Sharifah Zubaidah Syed
Published: October 2018

The idea that local authorities should be the ones determining the affairs of their local authority areas is an engrained rule in the structure of the Malaysian style of government. Of late, regional planning has gained prominence with the realization that it promotes effective and efficient use of resources and reduces regional imbalances and poverty as well as may help in achieving sustainable development. Malaysia has the legal framework for establishing a regional planning authority that crosses the boundaries of two or more states, yet none has been set up to date. This paper analyses the related provision, examines the proposed institutional framework and identifies the challenges that the government may face in establishing a regional planning authority, including political will, state autonomy in a federal system of government, and the scope and powers of such authority. A comparison of the setting up of regional authorities in Australia and Canada is also included, being countries applying the federal system of government like Malaysia.
THE NEED TO DEFINE ‘ABANDONED HOUSING PROJECT’ IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA: AN ANALYSIS
Authors: Md. Dahlan Nuarrual Hilal
Published: October 2018

This paper examines the adequacy of legal provisions governing the role of extended families in providing financial support under Malaysian law. This is to promote the importance of such function despite the breaking up of extended family relationships due to modernisation and urbanization. The study focuses on the Malay Muslim family where personal law is based on Sharīʿah and the role of extended family is an important component of the system. Besides, other forms of financial provisions are analysed to reflect the extent of familial relationship in response to the current needs.
WOMEN’S RIGHTS TO SUCCESSION IN UNREGISTERED MARRIAGES: A REFERENCE TO THE INSTRUMENT OF WAṢIYYAH
Authors: Halim Akmal Hidayah , Abdullah Mohamad Asmadi
Published: October 2018

It is an essential requirement for a marriage to be registered according to the procedures as provided by the law. Non-registration of a marriage leads to the non-availability of a marriage certificate, being the main proof of the existence of the marital relationship. This situation results in various legal complications in claiming the rights, including a right to property under the law of succession which arises upon the death of the spouse. Such a right, even though guaranteed by the Sharīʿah, is not recognized by Malaysian law. This article seeks to examine women’s rights to succession in cases of unregistered marriage with special reference to the execution of a waṣiyyah as a useful instrument to protect the rights of the unregistered wives against husbands’ estates.
DIVORCE REFORM AND FAMILY MEDIATION IN ENGLAND: AN OVERVIEW OF THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE FAMILY LAW ACT, 1996
Authors: Hak Nora Abdul , Ibrahim Norliah
Published: October 2018

The article focuses on the divorce reform in England. In 1996, the Family Law Act was passed by the Parliament in England, which is cited as the Family Law Act, 1996. Unfortunately, after it was passed, there were problems concerning its enforcement and the Government decided to postpone the enforcement of some parts of the Act. Generally, the suspension involves the law concerning the ground of divorce and mediation. Although the overall position of the Act remains uncertain, it is significant to examine it because of its strength in upholding the institution of the family. Under the Act, mediation is introduced as it has many advantages such as resolving disputes amicably and it can reduce backlog of cases in the court. It is hoped that the discussion in this article will benefit Malaysia and hopefully we may learn something from the divorce reform that took place in England. In Malaysia, the current Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 has been enacted since 1976. Perhaps, we may introduce new family legislation governing non-Muslims and include mediation as an alternative means of resolving family disputes.
KNOWLEDGE AND ACCESSIBILITY OF MUSLIM WOMEN TO THE LAW ON POST-DIVORCE FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Authors: Hasbullah  Abdullah Muslihah Binti , Mohd Zin Najibah Binti , Wok Saodah Binti
Published: October 2018

The main objective of the study was to determine the Muslim women’s knowledge and accessibility to the law on post-divorce financial support particularly that which relates to ʿiddah maintenance, mutʿah, arrears of maintenance, and child maintenance. The data was collected using self-administered questionnaire. The sample was 201 divorced women recruited from the recorded cases for the period 2003-2005 in the Shariah Subordinate Courts of Hulu Langat and Gombak Timur, Selangor. The findings indicate that almost all respondents (99%) have high level of knowledge on the legal rights to post-divorce financial support. However, more than two-thirds of the respondents (70%) had low level of accessibility to the law when claiming for post-divorce financial support. The study suggests that although divorced women might have better access to legal information through reading and socialization, the problems regarding the attitude of the court’s officers and lawyers, the complexity of the court procedures, the uncooperative attitudes and the non-compliance of the ex-husbands to the court-ordered financial support did impede their accessibility to the law.
EFFECTS OF THE LEGAL MAXIM: “NO HARMING AND NO COUNTER-HARMING” ON THE ENFORCEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Authors: Shettima Muhammad
Published: October 2018

Legal maxims are legal instruments that give a bird’s eye view of the content of the law. Reflective of a consolidated reading of fiqh by great jurists over many centuries, legal maxims are a handy tool for researchers, lawyers, judges and legislators who need it to expand the grasp and understanding of the content and objective of the law. They also reflect settled principles of law to which jurists appeal when confronting new legal cases. This paper explores the Prophetic hadith turned-maxim, to reveal the dynamism of Islamic law towards prevention of environmental excesses and enforcement of legal protection by individuals or organisations. The maxim “No Harming and No Counter-harming” and its auxiliary maxims are appropriate legal instruments for legislations related to environmental protections. The subject has been discussed based on the provisions of Qur’an, Prophetic traditions and their interpretation by scholars as relating to the general provisions of the Maxim. Limiting itself to one universal maxim, the study aims to extend the regulations expounded in the above sources to contemporary environmental issues detailing legal injunctions against environmental harm and the removal of the existing ones.
