What is the core purpose of Islamic banking? Why is the existence of Islamic banking so important? It can not be denied, the answer of the crucial question about the purpose of establishing Islamic banking is still a fragmentary discussion.If studied more deeply, Islamic banking is an entity that has its own unique characteristics, especially when compared with conventional banking. Therefore, Islamic banking, both in theory and practice, should make paradigm shifts, especially in terms of performance measurement that is not only limited to financial parameters.This study aims to explore the extent to which the revitalization of the concept of maqāṣid in Islamic finance, especially banking. The result shows that the revitalization of the concept of maqāṣid defined by Muhammad Abu Zahrah and Abdul Majid Najjar can be used to measure the performance of sharia banking in a more measurable way.Apakah sebenarnya tujuan inti dari perbankan syariah? Kenapa eksistensi perbankan syariah begitu penting? Tidak dapat dipungkiri, jawaban dari pertanyaan krusial mengenai tujuan pendirian perbankan syariah masih berupa diskusi sepotong-sepotong. Jika dikaji lebih dalam, perbankan syariah adalah entitas yang mempunyai karakteristik unik dan tersendiri, khususnya saat dibandingkan dengan perbankan konvensional. Oleh karena itu, perbankan syariah, baik secara teori maupun praktik, harus melakukan pergeseran paradigma (shifting paradigm), khususnya dalam hal pengukuran kinerja yang tidak hanya terbatas pada parameter keuangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri sejauh mana revitalisasi konsep maqāṣid dalam keuangan syariah, khususnya perbankan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa revitalisasi konsep maqāṣid Muhammad Abu Zahrah dan Abdul Majid Najjar dapat digunakan untuk melakukan pengukuran kinerja perbankan syariah secara lebih terukur.Beyond Banking: Revitalisasi Maqāṣid dalam Perbankan Syariah

Chemoprevention of Skin Carcinomas in High-Risk Transplant Recipients
Authors: Savoia Paola , Zavattaro Elisa , Cremona Ottavio
Published: October 2017

Background:

Long-term immunosuppressive therapy, as provided to solid organ
transplant recipients, inevitably results in a significant inhibition of immune defenses; this
leads to frequent skin infections and malignancies, which represent an important cause of
morbidity and mortality for transplanted patients. The incidence and risk of skin carcinomas
are elevated in solid organ transplant recipients in comparison with the general population,
with a 10-fold increased risk for basal cell carcinoma and a 50-100-fold for squamous cell
carcinoma. The schedule of immunosuppressive drugs influences the type and timing of skin
malignancies, but a crucial role is also played by endogenous and exogenous risk factors.

Methods & Results:

Here, we will review the state-of-the-art in chemoprevention of epidermal
carcinomas in order to provide useful information for clinicians involved in the management
of transplant recipients. One-hundred and forteen paper, published on peerreviewed
journals, has been included.

Conclusion:

Chemoprevention would be key in controlling skin carcinogenesis in high-risk
patients.
Circulating MicroRNAs: Valuable Biomarkers for the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Gastric Cancer
Authors: Shekari Najibeh , Baradaran Behzad , Shanehbandi Dariush , Kazemi Tohid
Published: October 2017

Background:

Gastric cancer is a malignancy with high mortality rate worldwide.
Poor clinical symptoms, unfavorable prognosis and absence of proper diagnostic
techniques for early detection cause death in many patients. Presence of new sensitive and
specific biomarkers for early detection and progression of GC could lead to reduction in
the mortality rate. In addition to intracellular miRNAs, circulating miRNAs reflect the
state of cancer progression and might be potential biomarkers for rapid detection and also
therapy in GC.

Objective:

After giving a brief explanation about circulating miRNAs and their various
types, we then reviewed comprehensively the last studies which investigated circulating
miRNAs as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers in GC.

Methods:

Research and review articles in PubMed and Scopus databases were summarized.
Keywords mainly used were in related to circulating miRNAs and their diagnostic
and prognostic value in gastric cancer. Among the numerous circulating miRNAs a comparison
was made based on their repeatability, specificity and sensitivity.

Results:

Comparisons indicated high diagnostic value of circulating miRNAs in comparison
with other detection methods based on their high sensitivity and specificity. There
was also a relation between altered expression level of large number of circulating miRNAs
and clinicopathological factors and also response to therapy in GC.

Conclusion:

Several advantages of circulating miRNAs as detection biomarker have led
to extensive studies and significant advances. Altered expression pattern of circulating
miRNAs have correlation with pathological status of GC tissues and their exclusive features
make them ideal early diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers for GC.

Need and scope for agroforestry in Disaster Management Plan for Animals.
Authors: S. Suresh Ramanan , T.K. Kunhamu
Published: October 2017

Disaster causes threat to life and property. Management and mitigation measures have been primarily focused around human life. Technically, the post disaster management is centered on reviving the livelihood and often the poor and vulnerable sections of the society are affected much. Apart from agricultural farming, livestock rearing is major source of livelihood of farmers. With nearly 70% of the livestock owned by the marginal farmers, any disaster that cause a loss in livestock do affect these dependent people. Considering this reality, Government of India instituted “National Disaster Management Plan for Animals (DMP)”. The entire DMP has been forged to provide guidance for the wellbeing of animals that got entangled in disaster in form of pre-disaster preparedness, disaster response and post disaster plan. In this context, ensuring adequate quantity of quality fodder and vital veterinary care assumes primary concern in post disaster response. In this context agroforestry, tree fodder assumes greater significance owing to their round-the-year availability and quality of fodder. There are many fodder based agroforestry systems that can withstands and maintain reasonable productivity even during extremes disaster situations like floods, drought and cyclones. A classical success model is the Acacia leucophloea and Prosopis cineraria based silvopastoral models for fodder production in arid and semi-arid regions and ngitili as a silvopastoral practice of Tanzania to evade the drought. Similarly, in flood condition trees are the only means for green fodder supply. Studies need to be initiated on the planning, implementation and management strategies to be followed for optimizing the productivity and quality of fodder through community involvement. Hence the information gap has to be suitability filled though proper research as well as extension through interdisciplinary approach. So that agroforestry based livestock management strategies can incorporated into DMP, so that not only protecting our precious livestock wealth and also to ensure the livelihood security of millions of marginal farmers. Agroforestry is potential approach for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and help to mitigate the extremes of perceived disaster and incorporating agroforestry will a bottom to top approach.

Strategic Communication in Crisis Governance: Analysis of the Singapore Management of the SARS Crisis
Authors: Jin Yan , Pang Austine , Cameron Glen T.
Published: October 2017

The contingency theory of conflict management and current crisis management literature are integrated in this paper to examine how crisis has been communicated and managed by the Singapore government and what kinds of strategies arose during the various stages of the SARS crisis life-cycle. Findings show that the Singapore government played a predominant role in managing how its multiple publics perceived the crisis by extensive communication through the news media. The media, in turn, playing a supporting nation-building role, assisted the government's management and communication of the crisis. To effectively manage the perception and emotion of the various public, the government had recourse to more accommodative stances. Accommodation embedded in advocacy was the operational approach adopted by the government in order to move its multiple publics in the same strategic direction along an continuum of accommodation.
Rethinking the Harmonious Family: Processes of Social Organization in a Korean Corporation
Authors: Jonasson Charlotte , Lauring Jakob
Published: October 2017

Social harmony and stability have been described as almost inborn aspects of Korean corporations. After the East Asian economic crisis of 1997, however, most Korean organizations faced new demands for increased productivity and competitiveness. The fragile balance between social harmony and individual competition led, in some Korean corporations, to social negotiation and struggles to define the aim and character of the collective effort. By describing the subsequent social dynamics of a Korean bank corporation, this article aims to show how the perception of group harmony as a stable entity in East Asian organizations is too static a concept for analysing the social organization. Rather, the dynamics of the continuous production and reproduction of social structures have to be taken into account in order to understand working life in Korean organizations.
Towards a 'New Equilibrium': The Economics and Politics of the Creative Industries in Singapore
Authors: Lee Terence
Published: October 2017

On 26 September 2002, as Singapore faced up to its worst economic year since attaining full political independence in 1965, the Creative Industries Working Group (CIWG) of the Economic Review Committee (ERC), a governmentappointed, high-level body tasked with identifying future economic growth sectors and opportunities for Singapore, unveiled its report entitled Creative Industries Development Strategy: Propelling Singapore's Creative Economy (CIWG, 2002). This was the first time the voguish concept of the 'creative industries' had been publicly acknowledged and embraced in Singapore. It is believed that the development of a 'creative cluster' – or a creative network comprising the arts and cultural sector, the design sector and the media industry – would propel Singapore's new innovation-driven economy by 'industrializing' the cultural (and culture-related) sectors in Singapore. Among other envisaged outcomes, this policy aims to encourage risk-taking and entrepreneurship and to attract creative 'talents' to locate in Singapore. Whilst the notion of the 'creative industries' has been objectively modelled after global trends and policies, its application in a society notorious for its censorious political and cultural climate is fraught with problems. This article offers a critical examination of this new creative industries policy direction spearheaded by the Singapore government, and considers the economics and politics of creativity in what is being presented as the 'new' Singapore of the twenty-first century.
Burning the Grassroots: Chen Boda and the Four Cleanups in Suburban Tianjin
Authors: Brown Jeremy
Published: October 2017

Abstract

Chen Boda's four cleanups model in Xiaozhan, a marshy area southeast of Tianjin, was as important as Wang Guangmei's Taoyuan brigade in 1964, but is less well known. As Chairman Mao's top theorist and the editor of Red Flag, Chen Boda enjoyed support from Mao and Liu Shaoqi as he uncovered evidence of 'revisionism' in Tianjin's south suburbs. Chen's claims led to a witch-hunt that killed tens of people and tortured and imprisoned many others. Beyond Tianjin, the 'Xiaozhan experience' was promoted as a successful 'power seizure' in a central document circulated nationwide in October 1964. The document pushed the socialist education movement in a more radical direction, causing the downfall of rural cadres across China. This article draws upon archival sources, memoirs, and interviews to detail Chen Boda's contentious interactions with Tianjin officials and suburban villagers. Chen allowed the four cleanups to turn brutal in Xiaozhan, and his vision of a rural China dominated by class enemies differed from what work team members experienced. Ironically, in order to keep the Xiaozhan experience from falling apart, Chen had to resort to methods similar to those used by the village cadres he had recently overthrown. Chen Boda's meddling in Xiaozhan reveals considerable diversity—and indeed, confusion—in how top leaders interpreted and carried out Mao's shifting plans for the countryside during the four cleanups. This confusion led to disastrous outcomes for rural residents.
International Relations Theory in Flux in View of China’s ‘Peaceful Rise’
Authors: Cheung Gordon
Published: October 2017

This paper will first explore some essential theoretical backgrounds, which contribute to the understanding of the theory of hegemonic stability (a core strand of IPE theory) with a view to examine some empirical challenges of US hegemonic power after the Second World War. Secondly, it will go on to look at the notion of neo-liberalist regional development in East Asia to understand in what ways China’s entitlement creed has been increasingly instrumental in modifying the region institutional context. Third, it attempts to apply the constructivist approach in trying to locate the culturally embedded soft power entitlement of which China has been trying to capitalize on.
China: Migrant Workers Want ‘Decent Work’
Authors: Hannan Kate
Published: October 2017

China now has a second generation of rural-to-urban migrant workers. An estimated eighty percent of these workers were born in the 1980s or after. Many of these young workers are unwilling to follow their parents in acquiescing to dirty, exhausting backbreaking work. China’s young migrant workers are demanding ‘decent work’. They want increased wages that are paid in full and on time. They also want improved working conditions and some are expecting work that will provide them with ‘self-fulfilment and self-esteem’. In this contribution to the journal I discuss the reasons young migrant workers are unhappy with the employment and conditions on offer in China’s export manufacturing hubs.
China’s Regional Policy, Poverty and the Ethnic Question
Authors: Yeoh Emile Kok-Kheng
Published: October 2017

While China’s reforms have been successful in giving many people higher incomes and producing more goods and services, they also led to increasingly acute inequality in income and wealth among the populace. From one of the world’s most egalitarian societies in the 1970s, today China has turned into one of the most unequal countries in the region and even among developing countries in general. While China’s alleviation of poverty has been nothing less than remarkable and seems to have greatly exceeded Target 1 of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), yet ‘Impoverished China’ was still observed to be among the 10 largest ‘countries’ in the world. Furthermore, as the geographical correlation of ethnic minority distribution and poverty population distribution is unmistakable, reflecting the composite phenomenon made up of rural poverty, regional poverty and ethnic poverty, ethnoregionalization of poverty may present China not only with economic challenges but also long-term sociopolitical uncertainties. While the issue of poverty in China has a strong regional dimension, the size of China both demographically and geographically has led to the fact that her regional policy is always overshadowed by a host of complex interlinked socioeconomic, political, ethnic, territorial and historical factors. This paper analyzes the issue of poverty in China as a multi-faceted phenomenon, sees poverty alleviation as inevitably linked to the country’s regional and minority policies, and as such, argues for a stronger emphasis on the elements of decentralization and localization.
National Policy and Identity under the Soviet Authorities in Uzbekistan in the 1920s and 1930s
Authors: Pasilov Bahodir
Published: October 2017

This article addresses the national policy of Soviet authorities in Uzbekistan

in the 1920s and 1930s. It also studies the 'consolidation' of different tribes and ethnic groups in the process of establishing the national socialist republics and forming the 'socialist' nations and peoples within the framework of these states. The Soviet power considered the 'consolidation' of different tribes and ethnic groups as an important step in the construction of national socialist states. Certain tribes such as kipchaks, kurama, kongrats, mangits and others disappeared as a consequence of such consolidation. This article discusses how the national identification of 'socialist nations' was carried out by the introduction of 'socialist values' in the culture and life of local populations, different ethnic groups and tribes, which resulted in the dilution of self-identification as well.
Ainu Identity and Japan's Identity: The Struggle for Subjectivity
Authors: Bukh Alexander
Published: October 2017

This paper seeks to contribute to the academic debate on the contemporary identity of the Ainu. Ainu, the indigenous people of what today constitutes part of northern Japan, as well as the Russian Kurile Islands and parts of the island of Sakhalin, became the first subjects of modernizing Japan's expansion in the second half of the nineteenth century. In general, the Ainu's history, culture, and the struggle for recognition as indigenous people as well as against discrimination in Japan have been subjected to intense academic scrutiny in both English and Japanese. This article, however, aims to shed a different light on the construction of Ainu identity, by locating it within the broader contemporary discourse on Japan's national identity. It argues that the emergence of Ainu subjectivity in the public discourse in the 1970s can be partially attributed to the domestic struggle between the conservative and the progressive camps over the definition of Japan's identity. The paper analyzes both sides of the discourse and examines the role of the Ainu 'other' within this construction. It proceeds further to examine the challenge that the emergence of Ainu subjectivity has posed to Japan's politics, mainly in the context of the 'Northern Territories' dispute. The concluding part briefly examines the policy responses aimed at addressing these challenges.
Diasporic Discourse Online: Imagining the Homeland in Cyberspace
Authors: Giger Reggy Capacio
Published: October 2017

Nations can be seen as constructed and maintained by technological innovations. The eminent scholar Benedict Anderson underscored this as he noted the case of the Philippines' nation building process through print capitalism. Starting with Jose Rizal's novels written in Europe, there seems to be a phenomenon of imagining the homeland from the outside, something that has become a common exercise with globalization and its myriad results, such as diaspora and transnationalism. With the coming of technologies associated with the global exchange of locals, Filipino migrants have become more interactive. The Internet has become the ultimate medium through which the sense of community has been projected and re-articulated across time and space. This article explores

the use of the Internet as a tool for virtual construction and imagination of the homeland and describes how Filipino migrants de/construct their homeland by comparing and contrasting it with the host nation, without necessarily compromising national myths and symbols.
Graffiti in China – Chinese Graffiti?
Authors: Valjakka Minna
Published: October 2017

This article focuses on the emergence of graffiti in Beijing and Shanghai as an intriguing part of the contemporary art scene. Approaching graffiti through the framework of visual culture and analyzing both the visual and social aspects of creating graffiti images, I argue that contemporary graffiti in these cities can be regarded primarily as creative self-expression emphasizing aesthetic intention and a renaming process, not as vandalism. Deriving primarily from information gathered during my fieldwork in Beijing and Shanghai, I also discuss the development of graffiti in China and its characteristics. In the Euro-American context, graffiti is still commonly regarded as criminal activity that destroys public property. This allegation, however, fails to take into account how the international graffiti culture has become an enduring genre of art with strong emphasis on style and aesthetic evaluation. Although creating graffiti is a controversial issue in China also, graffiti nevertheless exists, especially in the so-called art areas (districts known for their numerous art galleries, artist studios, art-related activities and, occasionally, art museums), or in the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Lived Cosmologies and Objectified Commodities: Reinventing the Traditional Art of India in a World of Cultural Tourism
Authors: Parker Samuel K.
Published: October 2017

This essay examines how the significance of ancient South Asian monuments is transformed when reframed by the practices of cultural tourism, which are grounded in the values of a modern, globalizing, economic cosmology. Ethnographic evidence collected on a visit to the archaeological park and museum at Sarnath, site of the Buddha's first discourse and home to some of the most celebrated masterpieces of ancient Indian sculpture, are here analyzed to support and illustrate a broader, social-constructivist argument about the representation of reality in Indian visual culture. I will argue that the version of 'reality' presupposed by modern economic practices, such as tourism, works to

objectify ancient South Asian forms and meanings, previously precipitated out of older living practices, into reified, collectable entities. Such objects and their objectified meanings further contribute toward naturalizing and universalizing economically grounded projects of self-construction among the practitioners of an economic worldview, wherein the self is shaped by routines of production and consumption: I am what I do for a living and I am the goods—including here, the touristic experiences—that I collect. It is this economic cosmology that moves to the foreground when ancient Indian 'art' is re-presented and consumed in the form of tourism products. Meanwhile the cosmology of dharma is pushed into the background. I hope to persuade the reader that the 'cost' of doing this is too high to justify the narrow economic benefits.
Beyond Neo-liberalism: Research Policies and Society. The Case of Japan
Authors: Rieu Alain-Marc
Published: October 2017

The idea of decoupling is playing a major role in various interpretations of the present systemic crisis. This crisis is understood as an effect of neo-liberal policies, which have revolutionized economic systems since the 1980s. Decoupling indicates a qualitative change in the level of autonomy of the economic sphere in industrial societies. But a new level of differentiation also generates various types of recoupling, new forms of integration, cooperation and regulation recomposing social systems at another level. The goal of this article is first to situate the idea of decoupling within its conceptual complex. Secondly, the ecological constraint is considered the source of this intense differentiation within social systems, which has intensified since the 1970s. Finally, based on the case of Japan, this paper explains why large-scale science and technology policies developed since the 1990s have to be understood as part of a recoupling process, a project to reconstruct and reach a social and economic coherence in the long term. Similar policies are now implemented by all major industrial nations. Such policies have the potential to overcome neo-liberalism's negative effects.
