My Name Is Alice Guy
Authors: Spiers Aurore
Published: August 2022

Founded in Paris in October 1973, the feminist collective “Musidora,” which was named for the actress, director, screenwriter, and film critic Jeanne Roques, also known as Musidora, was instrumental in generating new interest in women’s film history. This essay examines the collective Musidora’s speculative approaches to the first woman filmmaker, Alice Guy Blaché, by way of Nicole-Lise Bernheim’s short film Qui est Alice Guy? (Who Is Alice Guy?, 1976). Its focus lies in particular in how the members of the Musidora collective, which often represented Guy Blaché in their image, as a strong independent woman struggling to be recognized as a filmmaker in France, transformed Guy Blaché into a feminist figure of French film history through speculative means. In doing so, the collective Musidora reveals not our limited knowledge of the past, but rather the possibilities of changing the present through both historiographical and fictional means.
Sylvia Wynter, Maskarade, and Performing the State
Authors: Bainbridge Danielle
Published: August 2022

First produced as a teleplay for the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation in 1973, Sylvia Wynter’s Maskarade stands at the juncture of art-making and statecraft. The play centers on the Jamaican performance tradition of Jonkonnu, an African-descended carnival practice. Wynter’s state-commissioned plays funded by the now defunct JBC were part of a larger trend in the Caribbean in the mid-twentieth century, a time when governments in the region sponsored theatrical works in order to teach newly minted citizens how to relate to emerging states. These works also reconfigured and centralized the role of Black working-class and poor women in the new national imaginary through characters like Maskarade’s Miss Gatha. Using archival recovery and critical fabulation, I analyze the origins of the 1973 teleplay and subsequent 1983 published script in order to demonstrate the connection between twentieth-century Caribbean statecraft, media, and post-colonial theory (namely Wynter’s theorizations of “Indigenization”).
Counterfactual Speculation
Authors: Gaines Jane M.
Published: August 2022

In the second wave of feminism it was enough to say that Antonia Dickson co-wrote History of The Kinetograph, the Kinetoscope and the Kineto-Phonograph (1895) with her inventor brother William Kennedy Laurie Dickson. But in a new moment, I utilize Catherine Gallagher’s concept of “counterfactual speculation” as a “thought experiment,” offering a fuller examination of the time between 1893 and 1896 when Antonia was involved in the experiments around the “projecting” Kinetoscope. “What if Antonia Dickson Had Invented the Kinetoscope?” raises the question of historical outcome, empirical evidence, and causality, offering a way around uncritical reliance on the traditions of historical narrative and testing a new methodology for feminism and film.
Precocious puberty due to intracranial germ cell tumors: a case–control study
Authors: Chen Han , Ni Ming , Xu Yun , Zhong Li-Yong
Published: August 2022

Children with intracranial germ cell tumors may present premature sexual development via either gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-dependent cause or GnRH-independent cause. We conducted a single-center retrospective study on 37 precocious puberty (PP) patients with intracranial germ cell tumors and 25 age-matched prepubertal patients with elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels. Classification of PP was derived from hCG, gonadotropin and sex steroid levels and their changes. Five boys were assigned to GnRH-dependent group (G1). Thirty-one boys and one girl were assigned to GnRH-independent group (G2) with a median hCG of 76.75 (8.29–2747) IU/L. Seven boys and 18 girls were conducted as controls, with a median hCG of 17.12 (2.91–1062) IU/L. Patients in G1 had constant pubertal LH and testosterone levels after tumor complete response. Patients in G2 had hCG levels that decreased simultaneously with testosterone/estradiol levels, prior to tumor regression. The differences in hCG levels and the gender ratio were significant between G2 and controls (P = 0.006 and P < 0.001, separately). Among intracranial germ cell tumor patients with positive hCG, boys with significantly higher hCG levels more easily developed PP. Our results suggest that GnRH-independent PP commonly regresses together with tumor regression. In comparison, results were inconclusive in tying tumor regression to the regression of GnRH-dependent PP.
Succinate dehydrogenase and MYC-associated factor X mutations in pituitary neuroendocrine tumours

Published: August 2022

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs) associated with paragangliomas or phaeochromocytomas are rare. SDHx variants are estimated to be associated with 0.3–1.8% of PitNETs. Only a few case reports have documented the association with MAX variants. Prolactinomas are the most common PitNETs occurring in patients with SDHx variants, followed by somatotrophinomas, clinically non-functioning tumours and corticotrophinomas. One pituitary carcinoma has been described. SDHC, SDHB and SDHA mutations are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and tumorigenesis seems to adhere to Knudson’s two-hit hypothesis. SDHD and SDHAF2 mutations most commonly have paternal inheritance. Immunohistochemistry for SDHB or MAX and loss of heterozygosity analysis can support the assessment of pathogenicity of the variants. Metabolomics is promising in the diagnosis of SDHx-related disease. Future research should aim to further clarify the role of SDHx and MAX variants or other genes in the molecular pathogenesis of PitNETs, including pseudohypoxic and kinase signalling pathways along with elucidating epigenetic mechanisms to predict tumour behaviour.
Isoflurane stress induces region-specific glucocorticoid levels in neonatal mouse brain
Authors: Hamden Jordan E , Gray Katherine M , Salehzadeh Melody , Soma Kiran K
Published: August 2022

The profound programming effects of early life stress (ELS) on brain and behavior are thought to be primarily mediated by adrenal glucocorticoids (GCs). However, in mice, stressors are often administered between postnatal days 2 and 12 (PND2–12), during the stress hyporesponsive period (SHRP), when adrenal GC production is greatly reduced at baseline and in response to stressors. During the SHRP, specific brain regions produce GCs at baseline, but it is unknown if brain GC production increases in response to stressors. We treated mice at PND1 (pre-SHRP), PND5 (SHRP), PND9 (SHRP), and PND13 (post-SHRP) with an acute stressor (isoflurane anesthesia), vehicle control (oxygen), or neither (baseline). We measured a panel of progesterone and six GCs in the blood, hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and hypothalamus via liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. At PND1, baseline corticosterone levels were high and did not increase in response to stress. At PND5, baseline corticosterone levels were very low, increases in brain corticosterone levels were greater than the increase in blood corticosterone levels, and stress had region-specific effects. At PND9, baseline corticosterone levels were low and increased similarly and moderately in response to stress. At PND13, blood corticosterone levels were higher than those at PND9, and corticosterone levels were higher in blood than in brain regions. These data illustrate the rapid and profound changes in stress physiology during neonatal development and suggest that neurosteroid production is a possible mechanism by which ELS has enduring effects on brain and behavior.

Published: August 2022

Background: Self-efficacy in the use of ICT refers to a person’s belief in their ability to succeed in the use of ICT in the teaching, learning and assessment process as well as research purposes. Purpose: The incorporation of ICT into teaching, learning and assessment, and for research purposes is a powerful tool that pro-motes the teaching-learning environment in several ways. This study was aimed at investigating Physics Tutors’ self-efficacy (PTSE) level towards ICT integration into teaching, learning, assessment and research in the various Colleges of Education (CoE) in Ghana. Methods: A Four-point Likert Scale Questionnaire was used to ob-tain quantitative data from 16 physics tutors sampled from the 16 Science and Mathematics Colleges of Education in Ghana. The data obtained was analyzed based on a number of factors such as historical inclination towards the use of ICT among other things. Results: The findings from the study however reveled that most physics tutors accept and believe that the use of ICT in teaching physics significantly improves on teaching and learning. However, many of the Physics Tutors believe that there isn’t enough support in terms of logistics and training from the various stakeholders such as institutional heads, supervisors and even colleagues in the usage of ICT in teaching and learning physics Conclusions: It is concluded that the overall PTSE towards ICT integration in the CoE is above average (2.6 on a scale of 4).
The Accessibility of Inpatient Pediatric Ethics Consultation Services to Patient Caregivers
Authors: Sharma Shiven , Weaver Meaghann S. , Walter Jennifer K.
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

Ethics consultation services (ECS) support clinical decision-making when there are values conflicts. Accessibility to ECS by patients and families is required to benefit from the service. Multiple national guidelines encourage ready availability of ECS to all stakeholders including patients and families.

METHODS

All facilities registered with the Children’s Hospital Association (n = 190) were contacted using a protocol modeled after an adult ethics consultation practice study. After an online search to identify an ethics contact, calls were made to hospital operators, and each transfer was documented as well as time to ECS contact. If no contact was identified on progression through the call protocol or on completion of the call pathway on 3 occasions each spaced by 1 week, the ECS was labeled “unreached.”

RESULTS

Only 36 (19%) ECS contacts were identified via online search with the remainder 154 (81%) requiring phone calls. Fewer than one-quarter of operators (n = 34/154, 22%) could identify a contact name or number for ECS. Thirty ECS (16%) remained unreachable after completion of the call pathway or 3 separate attempts. Successful ECS contact required an average of 2.9 attempts. Maximum call hold duration was 25 minutes. Callback times averaged 5.8 business days after voicemail.

CONCLUSIONS

This study revealed limited reachability of ECS. ECS should make their contact information available online and improve information available to operators.

Published: August 2022

Tourism has a positive impact on many sectors of the world economy because it unequivocally affects the growth of life and economic activity of the local population, increasing the socio-economic indicators of the region, improving the road infrastructure, and necessitating infrastructural development. Tourism is growing and diversifying around the world, people are not only traveling to have fun, relax or spend their free time, but also because of their interest in alternative types of tourism. This approach requires the further development of regions rich in tourism and recreation resources, which, in turn, paves the way for sustainable development in the regional context. From a regional point of view, one of the important conditions for the development of tourism is the presence of unique natural monuments. One type of these natural monuments is caves, on the basis of which it is possible to develop speleotourism. Speleotourism is a complex type of tourism, the difficulty of which depends on limitations of natural light, high relative humidity, low air temperature, relief forms, and the degree of difficulty of routes. Speleotourism requires careful and trained hiking, as well as strength, endurance, agility, and the ability to use technical means of insurance. The article presents for the first time information on the classification of caves, states the importance of determining their status, and examines the caves in Azerbaijan which are distinguished by high values of speleotourism. In addition, the article examines the use of caves as shelters by primitive people and as sources of creation of legends and myths, their value as shrines and temples, as historical and cultural heritage, their use for sports and recreation purposes, as well as their use in enhancing the attractiveness of tourism. The authors prove the importance of using caves in Azerbaijan as a tourist product for the development of speleotourism, sites which are distinguished by their natural attractiveness, geological structure, historical past and archaeological finds, as well as convenient transport infrastructure. Scientific studies show that speleotourism is a promising tool for the development of regional tourism. The authors predict that in the future speleotourism in Azerbaijan will be an aspect of the country’s international tourism.

The article analyzes the current state of aquaculture production and recreation in Ukraine, industry problems, the potential and possible ways of situation improvement. It examines tools for developing aquaculture production based on the integration with ecotourism. One has developed a scheme of the interaction between industries and other economic entities in Ukraine. The goal of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the development of responsible aquaculture combined with the ecotourism growth, encouraging the improvement of Ukraine’s economic, tourist and natural potential, sustainable development and economic growth along with the application of resource-saving technologies. One has concluded that the existing synergetic effect has a positive nature and allows not only creating competitive products for Ukrainian consumers but also entering the global market, involving users of recreational services in Ukraine, which substantially increases the potential of this region. The article analyzes the current state of ecotourism in Ukraine, provides recommendations for solving existing problems and increasing the investment flow in the industry by enhancing the demand for ecotourism products, which will positively affect macroeconomic indicators and the national reputation. It is proven that the responsibility for the regional ecological state and control over local enterprise activities should be delegated to local communities because of their susceptibility to changes and rapid response in order to create social systems of environment quality control. One has developed models of dependence of ecotourism development on investments in recreation facilities where the quantity and quality of services will significantly grow, which can become competitive on both internal and external markets and have unique offers not only by applying natural resources but also by providing technological and complex services. It is proven that the use of innovative technologies based on the automation of the aquaculture production process will enhance financial results and decrease external negative effects. Besides, it is more eco-friendly than conventional pond production, but it is capital-intensive and requires investment generation.

Published: August 2022

The article analyzes the consequences of pollution from industrial enterprises, as well as the risks of disruption of operation and flooding of mines. The armed conflict in the East of Ukraine led to serious environmental consequences – it is the pollution of groundwater, water bodies, air pollution, decommissioning of large areas of arable land, destruction and damage to objects of the nature reserve fund, forest fires, etc. It has been shown that in areas where the armed conflict continues, there has been significant pollution of the environment with chemical toxic substances, metal fragments and heavy metals due to artillery shelling and the use of explosives. As a result, numerous funnels were formed, which mutilated the land and destroyed natural protected areas, flooded mines, built fortifications, ditches, and damaged sewage and water supply networks. Risks associated with damage to communications, businesses and other facilities that pose an increased environmental risk, increase the scale of the negative impact. The problem of flooding of mines and excessive mineralization of waters, which are the part of the production process, is very relevant for both Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Solving this problem requires significant efforts from both the Ukrainian state and international environmental organizations. The main problem is that the mines are located in both controlled and uncontrolled by the Ukrainian government. The fate of coal mines in the territory not controlled by t government of Ukraine is uncertain and requires control by international organizations that are able to conduct monitoring activities. The coal industry in the EU is at «coal-out phase», i. e. at the stage of gradual abandonment of coal mining. First of all, this is dictated by the EU’s course to reach a carbon-free economy by 2050, which means the gradual abandonment of coal generation and the transition to renewable energy sources. And also in accordance with the EU Directive No787 in 2010 On the need to close unprofitable mines.
Accessibility as a factor for a livable cities: The case of Salt City in Jordan
Authors: Alamoush Saja Jamil , Kertész András
Published: August 2022

Accessibility is known as the ease of reaching destinations. The accessibility is determined by the spatial distribution of potential destinations, and the magnitude, quality, and character of the activities found there. However, modernization and the fast expansion of urban development transform cities' local cultural life from walkable accessible places to just car places. This has encroached into every corner of our urban environment today. In addition, the available services and systems to manage the pedestrian movement in the historic core are inadequate and inefficient, posing risks to both the traffic and the pedestrians. That affects the walkability for cities gradually. Hence, this paper aims to explore the main physical elements that contribute toward accessibility under three main categories (pedestrians, vehicles and public transport) as one of the walkability characters in Salt City in Jordan. Historical review, site analysis, and survey were the main methodology used in this study.

Authors: Boumerzoug Adel , Rais Messaouda , Sriti Leila
Published: August 2022

Modern buildings in Algeria consume a huge amount of energy and deliver modest thermal comfort, due to their design which does not address the local climate conditions. In contrast, it is commonly recognized that vernacular architecture is climate-responsive and environmentally friendly architecture.

This study aims to assess the thermal performance of vernacular architecture in the hot and dry climate of the Ziban region, Biskra. It was achieved by describing the main passive strategies in this architecture, later performing field hygrothermal measurements on two different houses in this region. The results revealed that the thermal effectiveness of these vernacular houses depends on the interaction of all their vernacular passive strategies from architectural to urban scale.

Wealth in Arabic is called mal (mufrad) amwal (jama'). This word with its various derivations is repeated 86 times in 38 surahs in the Qur'an. Wealth is an important part of life that cannot be separated and is always sought to be achieved and owned by humans. For this reason, a clear explanation is needed that can be accepted by all parties.

Ulul Albāb dalam Al-Qurán dan Relasinya dengan Perubahan Sosial
Authors: Nugraha Adi Tahir
Published: August 2022

Ulul albab is usually used as an academic term by those who use it as a motto or philosophy of movement both personally and institutionally. This term is repeated 16 times in the Qur'an, indicating that there is something special in it. This also shows how crucial ulul albab is in human life. Therefore, the study of ulul albab invites more profound attention, whether it is appropriate that ulul albab is categorized only to describe an intellectual character or not. This study uses a maudhuí interpretation approach, a thematic interpretation approach compiling verses with the same theme for further interpretation. Furthermore, this research raises a fundamental problem to answer how Al-Qurán describes the ulul albab and how is the relevance of the understanding of ulul albab with life. Based on the formulation of the problem, several answers were found that the ulul albab is the one who has a mind and uses it in its place. Humans who characterize the depth of thought, dhikr, and have high moral values. Another explanation is that ulul albab has the sharpness of reason and spiritual depth, whose belief is firm in exercising faith in Allah which is manifested in religious ritual activities in the aspect of worship and those who do not forget to pray to Allah. In another aspect, it is described as a person who thinks about the universe. It ends in the element of belief and commitment to always care for nature and the environment, and society.

Legal Ratio of Tafsir Maudu’i and Semantic Study
Authors: Masykur Masykur , Gunawan Iwan Caca
Published: August 2022

Artikel ini membahas tentang rasio maudhu'i dan semantik. Tafsir maudhu'iy merupakan istilah yang masih tergolong baru dalam kajian tafsir al-Qur'an. Istilah ini hanya digunakan saat ini oleh para ahli tafsir, khususnya para ulama kontemporer. Tidak bisa dipungkiri meski terlihat berbeda, namun tafsir maudhu'iy tidak bisa dipisahkan dari tafsir tahlili, karena mengandung unsur tahlili. Berangkat dari latar belakang tersebut artikel ini mencoba mengungkap apa yang dimaksud dengan tafsir maudhu'iy. Sementara, semantik adalah studi analitis tentang istilah-istilah kunci bahasa dengan pandangan yang pada akhirnya menemukan pemahaman konseptual tentang pandangan dunia orang-orang yang menggunakan bahasa sebagai alat untuk tidak hanya berbicara dan berpikir tetapi yang lebih penting untuk mengkonseptualisasikan dan menafsirkan dunia. Semantik adalah teori makna, dan tentang hubungan antara pembeda linguistik dan hubungan simbol atau proses mental dalam aktivitas komunikatif.
Analisis Terhadap Penafsiran Imam Al-Alusy tentang Jin, Iblis, dan Setan
Authors: Nuramin Nuramin
Published: August 2022

Jinn, devils, and demons are creatures of God who are invisible or unseen. Allah created them as a sign that apart from humans, supernatural beings surround them and watch their movements from any direction they want. The three magical beings are believed to exist by all humanity. Belief in supernatural beings is an identity of faith that Muslims must possess; even Allah has confirmed it that among the characteristics of people who fear Allah are faith in the unseen, as stated in the letter Al-Baqarah verse 3, which reads: "Those who believe in the unseen". However, faith in supernatural beings does not mean we have to cult them and even worship them like God. Faith in supernatural beings is only a reflection for us that Allah can create whatever He wants and that the creatures He makes them very diverse. These are all proofs of the greatness of Allah SWT. In the Qur'an, many stories are told of jinn, devils, and demons whose purpose is none other than so that humans can take a lot of wisdom and ibrah from these stories. Many people try to explore and observe the verses about them so that many debates from them give rise to various understandings and trigger disagreements. The object of research is an invisible creature, so, understandably, there will be a lot of debate going on.

Studi Komparatif atas Tafsir Laṭaifu al-Ishârât dan Tafsir Ruh al-Ma’ani tentang Lafaz Ithm
Authors: Hasinatu Sa'adah Dini , Bisri Hasan , Hasan Ridwan Ahmad
Published: August 2022

Not infrequently, there is a gap between Sufi idealism and the reality between worship carried out in the Shari'a and Riyadah carried out. So it is not uncommon for lay views to show sinful acts. This is the background for researchers to focus on the interpretation of al-Qusyairi and al-Alusi on the word ithm in the Koran. This study aims to analyze the understanding of ithm in the perspective of two Sufi commentators more deeply. The approach used is the semantic theory according to Toshihiko Izutsu, the irfâni epistemology theory according to Abid al-Jabiri and the muqâran (comparative) method according to al-Farmawi. The results of this study are as follows: First, al-Qushairi interprets the word ithm in general, and focuses more on the context of the perpetrator. Meanwhile, al-Alûsi analyzes it in more detail with various contexts. Al-Alûsi interprets lafadz Ithm with the meaning of sin or a job that hinders the reward.

Radikalisme Islam: Telaah Kampanye Khilafah oleh Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) Pra-Pembubaran oleh Pemerintah
Authors: Syah M. Kautsar Thariq , Setia Paelani
Published: August 2022

This paper will discuss the Khilafah ideological campaign by Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) before the revocation of operational permits by the government in 2017. The opening of the tap for democratization after the fall of the New Order regime led to the proliferation of new mass organizations, including religious organizations. HTI entered Indonesia in the 1980s because of the opportunities due to the opening of the faucet of democracy. They are aggressively carrying out large-scale campaigns to ground their ideology and ideals, namely forming an Islamic state (Khilafah Islamiyah). HTI cleverly campaigns for the caliphate ideology through their significant events, namely in conferences, leaders' conferences, and the My Movement plan for teenagers. In addition, HTI also campaigns for a caliphate through print media, namely Al-Islam, Al-Wa-ie', and Media Ummat. In responding to the challenges of the times, HTI uses social media as another campaign instrument. They also managed to “advertise” their young figures who became new role models for Islam among the millennial generation through social media. The revocation of operational permits by the government marked the end of the offline HTI campaign, although their struggles on social media did not stop. Social media with the principle of openness became the main instrument of HTI's campaign after the government dissolved it.

Reformulasi Nilai-Nilai Pancasila sebagai Pijakan Berbangsa
Authors: Furqon Syihabul
Published: August 2022

This book is part of Yudi Latif's anxiety as a child of the nation to respond to the problems of the nation and state today. In addition to presenting a description of the Pancasila philosophy as the focus, this book also aims to formulate state problems through studying the fundamental and essential perspective of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, namely Pancasila. In this book, it is as if Yudi wants a precise formulation for the decline of the nation's character because for him this decline has become cancer, not the flu anymore. Therefore, through Pancasila as an idea and a practice, Yudi wants to find and at the same time seek answers to why the problems of Indonesia as a country and a nation are still recurring. Yudi wants this nation to have a new political vision, a vision that is a solution to the crisis of morality and ethos that has hit the nation. For Yudi, Pancasila is a "dead monument", but has a dynamic and representative meaning following the changing times.

Published: August 2022

This article aims to find the manhaj of Tafsir al-Kasyaf by Zamakhsyari. Manhaj or the method of interpretation is an essential benchmark in the study of mapping the interpretation methodology. The researchers divide the understanding of the aspects of the technique into four types, namely tahlily, ijmali, maudlu'I, and muqarran. Based on this, the authors want to know more about the Tafsir al-Kasyaf method, both general methods and special methods, with the following discussions: Methods of Interpretation of Tafsir al-Kasyaf and the Systematics of Writing of Tafsir al- Kasysyaf. The authors present a model of Imam az-Zamakhsyari's interpretation of thought in Tafsir al-Kasysyaf because this interpretation significantly influences the wilderness of exegetical thought in the Islamic world. The effect given by this interpretation is not only among the mu'tazilah, but also among the Sunnis who have often rejected the mu'tazilah theology adopted by Imam az-Zamakhsyari.

It is undeniable that the dimensions of religion and development through economic activity are in the context of implementing religious teachings that, if practiced correctly, will lead to progress and benefit the people in the future. The economic development of the people in the PP Tarekat Idrisiyyah is one of the economic models based on the religious spirit that plays an important role in supporting the lives and empowerment of the people who should be in the same breath as the development that aspires to the life of the nation and state. So, the author sees the formation of a strong, solid and economically independent jam'iyyah for the people because the anti-mainstream entrepreneurship economic movement of the Idrisiyah Order is growing towards progress. Second, the impact of all economic activities has increased the militancy of the Idrisiyyah Tarekat Jam'iyyah towards the leadership in order to embrace the transcendental aspect, namely gaining the pleasure of Allah SWT through the guerrilla movement of retail businesses, plantations, travel to the cultivation of shrimp and fish ponds in the southern part of Tasikmalaya Regency which is in line with with the spirit of development. For this reason, the author tries to explain further how the Jam'iyyah Idrisiyyah entrepreneurship movement starts from historical roots, processes and results which for some other tarekat communities, especially in Indonesia, have not been so visible on the surface as a challenge to the role of religion in development. This research was conducted using the SAA research methodology, in the form of collecting written data and gathering information in the field for both actors, informants and figures who pay attention to the development of the tarekat in Indonesia.

Kegiatan Domestik dan Publik Pedagang Perempuan Muslim di Perdesaan
Authors: Holina Holina , Huriani Yeni
Published: August 2022

Tulisan ini akan memberi penjelasan tentang bagaimana perempuan Muslim menyeimbangkan kehidupan domestik dengan kegiatan publik di Desa Sungai Pinang Kabupaten Banyuasin Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang menerangkan keadaan dari informan menurut latar belakangnya masing-masing. Penelitian ini juga dilengkapi dengan teknik wawancara agar dapat mengungkapkan apa yang ada dipikirkan dan dirasakan oleh informan. Perempuan yang memiliki pekerjaan di luar rumah sangat jelas memiliki waktu yang terbatas. Karena keterbatasan waktu itu mengakibatkan frekuensi untuk bertemu dengan sesama anggota keluarga juga jadi terbatas baik bertemu dengan suami ataupun dengan anak-anaknya. Walaupun secara teoritis yang paling penting ialah kualitasnya bukan kuantitasnya, hal ini dapat berakibat terjadinya ketidakharmonisan di dalam keluarga misalnya terjadi pertengkaran, perceraian hingga anak-anaknya pun akan ikut bermasalah. Jika ini terjadi maka yang akan dituduh sebagai sumber dari masalah tersebut oleh masyarakat ialah dikarenakan istri atau ibu memiliki waktu yang terbatas ketika berada di rumah.Yang membuat bangga ialah para perempuan yang berdagang kelontong di desa Sungai Pinang bisa mengatur perannya sehingga bisa bertahan saat menjalankan peran gandanya. Tujuan mereka membuka warung kelontong karena untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan keluarga. Sumbangan penghasilan dari para perempuan memiliki peran dalam keberlangsungan hidup berumah tangga. Kegiatan dari perempuan yang berdagang baik di ranah domestik dan publik telah mendapatkan dukungan yang sangat tinggi dari keluarganya. Kondisi tersebut ditunjang juga dengan hubungan yang harmonis di dalam rumah tangga. Diantara suami istri, diantara ibu dan anak dan diantara ayah dan anak juga terjalin komunikasi yang sangat intensif.
Islam dan Kekerasan dalam Wacana John Esposito
Authors: Ulfa Maria
Published: August 2022

Menurut Esposito, ancaman global Al Qaeda pasca 9/11 dan ISIS, meningkatnya konflik Sunni-Syiah, dan kekerasan di Timur Tengah dan Pakistan mendominasi berita utama dan menantang pemerintah di kawasan Timur Tengah dan global. Baik ekstremis Muslim maupun beberapa pakar dan pengamat Barat berbicara tentang benturan peradaban atau perang budaya dalam hubungan Muslim-Barat. Baik wacana maupun kekerasan sekali lagi menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang hubungan Islam dengan kekerasan dan terorisme, termasuk apakah Islam adalah agama yang penuh kekerasan. Jawabannya jelas tidak, Islam sangatlah jauh dari kekerasan. Artikel ini menguraikan bagaimana ayat-ayat Al-Quran berbicara tentang perlindungan terhadap sesama, bahkan terhadap musuh-musuh Islam. Selain itu, artikel ini juga menyoroti gagasan radikalisme yang merupakan bagian dari nafsu, dalih semangat agama, namun nyatanya merusak citra Islam itu sendiri. Gerakan ini bukanlah memperjuangkan perintah Tuhan, malah menentang Tuhan dengan menjadikan kalam-Nya sebagai semangat juang. Namun yang sangat disayangkan dan sangat memprihatinkan adalah ketika melihat berbagai fakta yang mempertontonkan kedekatan pemuda dengan budaya kekerasan.
