The meaning varies and some headlines are messy for effective meaning and they appear so dependent in the infinite range of context, which makes it difficult for the readers to comprehend. Using document analysis approach, this paper exemplified the usage of English spatial prepositions on the headlines of the Nigerian newspapers. The study reviewed different theoretical approaches and conceptual theories used to determine the semiotic thought of the foresight in generating meaning as a system and psychological process. The findings revealed that politicians use newspapers as a model to communicate people before and after being into power. The findings further revealed that journalists adopted different systems, in the previous researches. It is recommended that emerged readers should acquire the knowledge of spatial preposition for effective meaning. The meaning varies and some headlines are messy for effective meaning and they appear so dependent in the infinite range of context, which makes it difficult for the readers to comprehend.

Photographs play a crucial role in the ways the lives and deaths of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Aldo Moro are remembered in Italian culture. Locating photographs of the two men taken before and after their murders against the backdrop of the changes in photographic practice that took place in Italy from the period of the economic boom in the late 1950s through to the early 1970s, this article explores and compares the cultural meanings of the photographs of the bodies of these two very different but equally symbolic public figures, both alive and dead. Analysing the significance of these images in Italy in the 1970s and after, it notes how contemporary theoretical approaches to the medium – particularly in terms of understandings of mass media forms and the theoretical linking of photography and death – shaped how the photographs have been understood in relation to their social and political context. It argues that the afterimage of the photographs of the corpses of Pasolini and Moro is overlaid in Italian cultural memory over the visual record of the two men during their lives in a kind of mnemonic ‘double exposure’ that constitutes these bodies of images as collective icons of their times.

Learning English prepositions is deemed as a difficult task for EFL learners (Cheng, 2006) because some English prepositions have many similar but slightly different meanings (Boers & Demecheleer, 1998; Radden, 1985). EFL leaners face difficulty in using English prepositions because they may only learn the linguistic forms but not the conceptual meanings embedded in prepositions. The purpose of this research is to investigate English spatial prepositions in, on, and at from a cognitive perspective, e.g. the theory of conceptual metaphor (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980) and cognitive grammar (Langacker, 2008). The investigation of the present study was mainly done with document analysis (Bowen, 2009; O’Leary, 2014). After reviewing many primary and previous studies (Dikken, 1995; Freeborn, 1987; Lindstromberg, 1996, 2010; Nishimura, 2005; Radden, 1985), the findings show that English prepositions in, on, and at have not only their prototypical meanings but also implicit meanings, which may be extended by metaphors. It is also found that there is an intimate relationship between the spatial and temporal meanings of prepositions. Besides, the prototypical meanings of in, on, and at can be the foundation to learn other spatial or temporal concepts. Therefore, it is suggested that understanding metaphors and the implicit meanings embedded in prepositions can help EFL students’ learning of English language.

The COVID-19 pandemic suddenly claimed its existence with thousands of fatalities reported worldwide in just a few months. It has caused great concern and panic resulting to total halt in all activities, particularly the economic sector. The lockdown has caused global economic contraction which has led to forecasted economic recession for the year 2020. Islamic social financing sees this phenomenon as an increase in the numbers of the needy and something has to be done. In Islamic social financing, certain instruments have been identified as tools to mitigate the turmoil facing people who are badly affected by the pandemic. Zakat, sadaqah, qard al-hasan, and infaq can play significant roles especially in providing financial aids to the needy. Zakat in particular has the potential to ease the financial situations for its huge collection recorded. This study employed the document analysis approach to examine the possible role zakat can play during and after the turbulence caused by the pandemic. The findings from the analyses revealed that Islamic social financing via its instruments like zakat, sadaqah, infaq, and qard al-hasan are able to offer and provide financial assistance during and post crisis, in this case the COVID-19 pandemic in various sectors like the education, social, and humanitarian, as well as in the medical sector. The responsible party should continue to provide efficient and hassle free channel for zakat payers to continue paying zakat as it does help in providing sufficient funds and also eradicate poverty in a community that may be caused by any crises alike. The effective and efficient distribution programs are also equally important in ensuring the objective of zakat is achieved in helping the needy.

The Law

The Syariah Court in Malaysia possesses executive jurisdiction in deciding upon matters related to creed and religious status. The jurisdiction aims to restrain the signs of heresy and renunciation of religion of Islam among Muslims. Nevertheless, the creed restoration practice (istitabah) for the state level renunciation of religion of Islam application cases is still unclear. This study aims to analyse the procedure after the application to renounce religion of Islam is received at Syariah Court and the process of creed restoration that is instructed upon an applicant prior to the Syariah Court decision. This study used document analysis approach by conducting specialized observation on the law provisions and renunciation of religion of Islam cases as well as the restoration modules in the centre of creed restoration. The outcomes of the study found that the creed restoration practice was conducted in the form of creed counselling or detention at the centre of creed restoration depending on the instruction from the Syariah Court Judge after the acceptance of religious status application cases. There were no clear and standardized law provisions regarding repentance order (istitabah) at state level. The study also provides the implications and several recommendations for improvement of the creed restoration practice. ABSTRAK Mahkamah Syariah di Malaysia mempunyai bidang kuasa eksklusif dalam memutuskan perkara-perkara berkaitan persoalan akidah dan status agama. Bidang kuasa ini bertujuan mengekang gejala ajaran sesat dan murtad dalam kalangan orang Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, amalan istitabah bagi kes-kes permohonan keluar agama Islam masih kurang jelas di peringkat negeri. Kajian ini bertujuan menganalisis prosedur selepas penerimaan permohonan keluar agama Islam di Mahkamah Syariah dan proses istitabah yang diperintahkan kepada pemohon sebelum Mahkamah Syariah membuat keputusan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis dokumen dengan membuat tinjauan khusus terhadap peruntukan undang-undang dan kes-kes permohonan keluar agama Islam serta modul pemulihan di pusat pemulihan akidah. Hasil kajian mendapati amalan istitabah dibuat dalam bentuk kaunseling akidah atau tahanan di pusat pemulihan akidah bergantung kepada perintah hakim Mahkamah Syariah selepas penerimaan kes-kes permohonan status agama. Tiada peruntukan undang-undang yang jelas dan seragam mengenai perintah taubat (istitabah) di peringkat negeri. Implikasi dan beberapa cadangan untuk penambahbaikan amalan istitabah ini juga diberikan.
