Children's Bureau Publication The Attorney's Part in Adoption, Children's Bureau Folder No. 47, is the third in the series of folders on adoption recently issued by the Children's Bureau. It deals with the part the attorney plays in the adoptive process. Fourteen attorneys, some engaged in the private practice of law, others faculty members in law schools and still others representatives of public or voluntary social agencies, met in Washington in May, 1958 to discuss the role of the attorney in adoption. Particular consideration was given to the legal aspects of adoption in relation to the natural parents, the child and to the adoptive parents. This leaflet is based on the principles discussed in this meeting. Copies are available from the Superintendent of Documents for 10 cents each with the usual discount of 25% on lots of 100 or more sent to one address.

Promotion and tenure are very important to faculty members, especially to faculty that are untenured or are in the lower academic ranks.  Typically, universities grant promotion and tenure (P & T) based on three components: research, teaching, and service.  Research is usually relatively well defined and is based on some combination of quality and quantity of presentations and publications.  Teaching effectiveness is typically evaluated using peer evaluations, student evaluations, and the ratings of administrators.  The third component, service, tends to be the least well defined of the three.   The reason for this may be that service is more difficult to quantify because its components tend to be numerous and vague.  This study investigates the perceived importance, what is, of service in the P & T decisions and how important service should be in those decisions.  Email questionnaires were sent to faculty across the nation to obtain their perceptions concerning the overall importance of service in the P & T process at their school.  The survey is designed to capture data regarding the perceived present importance of service in the promotion and tenure process, and what the importance of service in the promotion and tenure process should be.  The results indicate that service is considered to be between “slightly” and “moderately” important in obtaining promotion and tenure.  Respondents indicated that service should be at least “moderately important” in the P & T decision process.  These differences between how important service is and how important it should be are all statistically significant at the 1% level.  Overall, the results show that service is more important for the promotion to full professorship decision than it is for the promotion to associate and granting of tenure decisions.  In addition, analyses show that how important service is and how important it should be varies significantly with some of the demographic characteristics of the respondents’ schools.

ABSTRAK Cakupan ASI Eksklusif pada tahun 2016 di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Abiansemal IV masih rendah yaitu 77%. Peran bidan praktik swasta sangat penting untuk keberhasilan dalam pemberian ASI Eksklusif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peran bidan praktek swasta dalam pemberian ASI Eksklusif di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Abiansemal IV Kecamatan Abiansemal Kabupaten Badung. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling. Metode pengambilan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam pada 8 orang informan yaitu ibu-ibu yang mempunyai bayi usia 0-24 bulan dan 4 orang informan kunci yaitu bidan praktik swasta. Selain itu dilakukan juga observasi di tempat bidan praktik swasta. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bidan praktik swasta memberikan informasi ASI Eksklusif pada saat antenatal care yaitu ketika kehamilan ibu memasuki trimester ketiga dan pemberian informasi ASI Eksklusif juga dilakukan ketika bayi lahir serta pada saat evaluasi perilaku pemberian ASI Eksklusif. Namun terdapat satu bidan praktik swasta yang menyediakan susu formula. Persepsi ibu terhadap peran bidan cukup baik karena menurut ibu, bidan praktik swasta memberikan pelayanan yang ramah, namun tidak semua mendapatkan perawatan payudara di bidan praktik swasta. Ibu yang mendapatkan informasi yang lengkap dari bidan memiliki pengetahuan yang baik terkait ASI Eksklusif. Meskipun pengetahuan ibu baik namun tidak memberikan ASI Eksklusif karena mengalami hambatan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bidan berperan cukup baik dalam pemberian informasi ASI Eksklusif yaitu pada saat kehamilan ibu memasuki trimester ketiga dan pada saat ibu sudah melahirkan bayi, pengetahuan ibu pada manfaat lebih baik dibandingkan dengan pengertian ASI Eksklusif, persepsi ibu terhadap peran bidan praktik swasta cukup baik, hanya satu orang ibu yang telah memberikan ASI Eksklusif. Saran yang dapat diberikan adalah kerjasama antara pihak puskesmas dan bidan praktik swasta lebih ditingkatkan terkait promosi ASI Eksklusif, Puskesmas Abiansemal IV dapat memberikan leaflet atau brosur terkait pemberian ASI Eksklusif kepada bidan praktik swasta serta penelitian ini dapat dijadikan sumber referensi untuk penelitian selanjutnya terkait alasan-alasan ibu tidak memberikan ASI Eksklusif. Kata kunci:  Peran Bidan Praktik Swasta, Pengetahuan Ibu, Perilaku Ibu, Persepsi Ibu Terhadap Peran Bidan Praktik Swasta   ABSTRACT Coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in 2016 in the working area of ??Abiansemal IV Puskesmas was still low at 77%. The role of private practice midwives is crucial for success in exclusive breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of private practice midwives in exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of ??Abiansemal IV Health Center, Abiansemal District, Badung Regency. This research is a qualitative research with purposive sampling technique. The data collection method was carried out by in-depth interviews with 8 informants namely mothers who have babies aged 0-24 months and 4 key informants namely private practice midwives. In addition, observations were also made at the private practice midwife's place. The results of this study indicate that private practice midwives provide information on exclusive breastfeeding during antenatal care, namely when the mother's pregnancy enters the third trimester and exclusive breastfeeding information is also performed when the baby is born and at the time of evaluating the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding. But there is one private practice midwife who provides formula milk. The mother's perception of the role of the midwife is quite good because according to the mother, the private practice midwife provides friendly service, but not all get breast care at the private practice midwife. Mothers who get complete information from midwives have good knowledge related to exclusive breastfeeding. Even though the mother's knowledge is good, she does not provide exclusive breastfeeding due to obstacles. The conclusion of this study is that midwives play a fairly good role in providing exclusive breastfeeding information, namely when the mother's pregnancy enters the third trimester and when the mother has given birth to a baby, the mother's knowledge of benefits is better than the understanding of exclusive breastfeeding, the mother's perception of the role of private practice midwife well, only one mother has given exclusive breastfeeding. Suggestions that can be given are cooperation between the puskesmas and private practice midwives to be improved in relation to the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, Abiansemal IV Puskesmas can provide leaflets or brochures related to exclusive breastfeeding to private practice midwives and this research can be used as a reference source for further research related to reasons mother does not give exclusive breastfeeding. Keywords:   Role of Private Practice Midwives, Mother's Knowledge, Mother's Behavior, Mother's Perception of the Role of Private Practice Midwives

Understanding the character of early jihād has been the focus of much scholarly effort. The relationship between those fighting and the political power of the caliph, the notion of the obligation and appropriateness of continued fighting and the role of the renunciant tradition among early fighters, especially those who become associated with the scholarly classes, are all issues that have drawn attention. 1 The challenges in tackling these issues are many and are primarily related to the limited number and nature of the early sources available to us to clarify the matter. Two early texts that focus on legal aspects of the Qurʾān comprise sources that have not yet been fully tapped in discussing these questions. One work is by Muqātil b. Sulaymān, who died in 150/767 and, while the text in question, Tafsīr al-Khams Miʾat Ā ya min al-Qurʾān al-Karīm, may have achieved its final form later in the second or even the third hijrī century, it represents some of the earliest Qurʾānic exegetical material we have available. The second work is by Abū ʿUbayd, who died in 224/838, and is devoted to abrogation in the Qurʾān (and, to a lesser extent, the Sunna), entitled Kitāb al-Nāsikh wa-l-mansūkh.

This article sheds light on the role of grammar in understanding legislative texts, with reference to the wuḍūʾ verse (Q. 5:6). The first section deals with the issue of washing the elbows along with the feet as part of ritual ablution, and lists the various interpretations of the preposition ilā in the aya, and discusses the grammatical theory used by different fuqahāʾ to support their arguments. The second section tackles how much of the head should be rubbed in ritual ablution, with regard to the use of the preposition bi- in the phrase bi-ruʾūsikum, while the third focuses on the two readings of the phrase arjulakum/arjulikum (‘your feet’) and on passing legislative judgement on whether the feet be washed or just rubbed. The study concludes that lugha and fiqh theory are of mutual importance and together help to clarify legislative judgements, and, on this basis, that jurists should not pass any legislative judgement without referring to language.

Zakat is an important form of religiously mandated charity under Islam. It is the third pillar of Islam. The giving of Zakat is important for Muslims, as this leads to purification of their wealth from all sins. This paper examines the role of Zakat as an instrument of social justice and poverty eradication in society. Each Muslim calculates his or her own Zakat individually. Generally, this involves the payment each year of two and a half percent of one's capital, after the needs of the family have been met. One can donate additional amount as an act of voluntary charity but Zakat is fundamental to every Muslim. Zakat is the Islamic contribution to social justice: those who have to give charity share the benefit of their prosperity to those who have fallen short. This is the Islamic approach to remove greed and envy and to purify one's soul based on good intentions. This is the institution of Zakat in Islam. The institution of Zakat serves to eradicate poverty in the community and uphold the light of Islam. Allah says “whatever is paid as Zakat for the sake of Allah shall be rewarded in manifolds”.

Resumo:  Apresenta-se uma discussão sobre o conhecimento e a tese dos três mundos no qual a interação entre estes nos aproxima da verdade do problema corpo-mente, tendo em vista, uma nova proposta de solução. O terceiro mundo é uma peça importante neste trabalho; sendo assim, analisaremos o que Popper designa como Mundo 3, em que ele consiste e o papel da linguagem como diferencial do ser humano. Apresentamos as críticas popperianas às correntes monistas e dualistas, ousando fazer uma crítica a Teoria do Conhecimento tradicional. Desta forma, a proposta apresentada por este filósofo da ciência diferencia-se de tudo que estava sendo feito até então, por isso, o interesse de apresentar essa abordagem pouco trabalhada de Popper. Palavras-chave: Conhecimento. Corpo-Mente. Mundo 3.Abstract: In this work, we present a discussion about knowledge and the theory of the three worlds in which the interaction between them approaches to the truth of the mind-body problem, in view of a proposed solution. The third world is an important piece in this work. Therefore, we will analyze what Popper describes as World 3, what it is and the role of language as a differential of human beings. We present Popper’s criticisms to the monistic and dualistic currents, daring to criticize the theory of traditional knowledge. Thus, the proposal of science presented by this philosopher differs from everything that was being done until then. This explains the interest in presenting this unusual approach to Popper.Keywords: Knowledge. Body-Mind.  World 3. REFERÊNCIASLEAL-TOLEDO, Gustavo . Popper e seu Cérebro.

This provocative question became the basis for a spirited discussion at the 2017 meeting of the American Anthropological Association. My first reaction, on hearing the question, was to ask, does anthropology care whether it matters to law? As a discipline, anthropology and the anthropology of law are producing excellent scholarship and have an active scholarly life. But in response to this forum’s provocation article, which clearly outlines the lack of courses on law and anthropology in law schools, I decided that the relevant question was, why doesn’t anthropology matter more to law than it does? The particular, most serious concern appears to be, why are there not more law and anthropology courses being offered in law schools? It is increasingly common for law faculty in the United States to have PhDs as well as JDs, so why are there so few anthropology/law PhD/JD faculty? Moreover, as there is growing consensus that law schools instil a certain way of thinking but lack preparation for the practice of law in reality and there is an explosion of interest in clinical legal training, why does this educational turn fail to provide a new role of legal anthropology, which focuses on the practice of law, in clinical legal training?
