The conclusion is summative, its purpose being to bring together insights drawn from the preceding chapters. It interrogates, more closely, the aspiration described in the Introduction; to explore the dynamic relation of law, literature and history in the closer context of modern British drama. It confirms that the theatre, and theatrical writing, is especially suited to realising one of the abiding ambitions of ‘law and literature’ scholarship, which is to humanise the legal text. An insight familiar to students of Shakespeare or Chekhov and various other dramatists whose work is already established in the literary jurisprudence ‘canon’, but which is just as persuasive in the context of modern and contemporary drama.

INTRODUCTION: In recent decades, there has been investigation into the effects of microgravity and microgravity-like environments on cognition and emotion separately. Here we highlight the need of focusing on emotion-cognition interactions as a framework for explaining cognitive performance in space. In particular, by referring to the affective cognition hypothesis, the significant interplay between emotional variables and cognitive processing in space is briefly analyzed. Altogether, this approach shows an interesting pattern of data pointing to a dynamic relation that may be sensitive to microgravity. The importance of examining interactions between emotion and cognition for space performance remains fundamental (e.g., stress-related disorders) and deserves further attention. This approach is ultimately interesting considering the potential effects that microgravity may play on human performance during long-term space missions and on return to Earth.Mammarella N.

The article argues that the working-class realism of post-WWII British television single drama is neither as English nor as white as is often implied. The surviving audiovisual material and written sources (reviews, publicity material, biographies of television writers and directors) reveal ITV's dynamic role in offering a range of views and representations of Britain's black population and their multi-layered relationship with white working-class cultures. By examining this neglected history of postwar British drama, this article argues for more inclusive historiographies of British television and sheds light on the dynamism and diversity of British television culture.

Abstract It is necessary for a MuftÊ to know the custom (Ñurf/ÑÉdat) of his people and place. Non awareness of custom will result in mufti’s fatwa not being at par with the problems and demands of the developing societies. This paper emphasizes the important role custom plays in sharÊÑah, essentiality of its knowledge for the jurists/muftis, and its significance in issuing fatwa (al-iftÉ’), while referring to the translation of Ibn ÑÓbidin’s SharÍ ÑUqËd Rasm al-MuftÊ (Commentary on MuftÊ’s Manual). The paper finds that there is no way out for a mufti to issue a fatwa, while ignoring the custom of his time. Fatwa is a tool for the evolution of sharÊÑah in dealing with the evolving worldly affairs, and guarantees the most suitable solution in changing circumstances, provided that the custom of the people are taken into consideration. Keywords: Custom (‘urf), Habit (‘adat), Fatwa, MuftÊ, IftÉ, Specification   (takhiÎÊÎ), Legal Text (al-naÎÎ). Abstrak Ia adalah satu keperluan untuk Mufti mengenalpasti adat (Ñurf/ÑÉdat) orang dan tempatnya. Ketidaksedaran adat akan menyebabkan fatwa yang dikeluarkan mufti tidak setaraf dengan masalah dan keinginan negara yang membangun. Kajian ini menekankan kepentingan peranan adat dalam sharÊÑah, keperluan ilmunya bagi mufti untuk mengeluarkan fatwa (al-iftÉ’) sambil merujuk kepada terjemahan Ibn ÑÓbidin’s SharÍ ÑUqËd Rasm al-Mufti. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa tidak ada cara lain bagi seorang mufti untuk mengeluarkan fatwa tanpa memahami adat pada masanya. Fatwa adalah satu alat untuk syariah dalam menangani urusan duniawi yang berkembang, dan menjamin penyelesaian yang paling sesuai dalam mengubah keadaan, dengan syarat adat rakyat dipertimbangkan.
