Islamic Belief

International crime statistics indicate that in Islamic countries crime rates are lower than in other countries. This feature of Islamic countries is most often explained by two factors: a) the relatively low level of development, which has a positive effect on crime rates, and b) the strictness of Islamic penal law. Providing some evidence, this article maintains that the first factor fails to explain properly the difference in the crime rates of Islamic and non-Islamic countries at a similar level of development. It also argues that the second explanation is a reductionist one. Following a Weberian approach, the article develops the argument that the content and structure of Islamic belief and practice is the dominant shared element among Islamic countries. It has given rise to a particular socio-cultural structure among Muslims, one of the impacts of which has been the low crime rate. Islamic beliefs and practice, therefore, are discussed as the main explanatory factor for the low crime rate in Islamic countries.

The Difference

The study reported here compared how younger and older adults processed the same set of media messages which were selected to vary on two factors, arousing content and valence. Results showed that older and younger adults had similar arousal responses but different patterns of attention and memory. Older adults paid more attention to all messages than did younger adults. However, this attention did not translate into greater memory. Older and younger adults had similar levels of memory for slow-paced messages, but younger adults outperformed older adults significantly as pacing increased, and the difference was larger for arousing compared with calm messages. The differences found are in line with predictions made based on the cognitive-aging literature.

The Difference

The reality of the difference in applying Islamic law in the context of marriage law legislation in modern Muslim countries is undeniable. Tunisia and Turkey, for example, have practiced Islamic law of liberal nuance. Unlike the case with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that still use the application of Islamic law as it is in their fiqh books. In between these two currents many countries are trying to apply the law in their own countries by trying to bridge the urgent new needs and local wisdom. This is widely embraced by modern Muslim countries in general. This paper reviews typologically the heterogeneousness of family law legislation of modern Muslim countries while responding to modernization issues. Typical buildings seen from modern family law reforms can be classified into four types. The first type is progressive, pluralistic and extradoctrinal reform, such as in Turkey and Tunisia. The second type is adaptive, unified and intradoctrinal reform, as in Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Algeria and Pakistan. The third type is adaptive, unified and intradoctrinal reform, represented by Iraq. While the fourth type is progressive, unifiied and extradoctrinal reform, which can be represented by Somalia and Algeria.

This paper is discusion the polygamy is still a controversial problem, although much discussed and examined. The difference of opinion among scholars make this problem continues to potentially raises the agree and disagree. Even though it has been regulated in Act Number 1 of 1974 concerning marriage and the compilation of Islamic law (KHI), this does not necessarily make the problem of polygamy is complete. Not a few perpetrators of polygamy choose married under the hand or by sirri. This research uses qualitative approach by implementing thematic interpretation method (maudhu'i) to obtain a comprehensive understanding about polygamy in the Qur'an. The Data obtained through the study of a library research by sharing the data that comes from the various verse of the Qur'an, hadith, book fiqh, research results, books and the news in various media outlets in order to complete the interpretation of the verses of polygamy. Based on the results of this research it is known that the verses of the Qur'an gives a very tight restrictions for those who want to in polygamy. Justice that the conditions of polygamy is not only were quantitative but also qualitative research. In the context of historical-socio, the command of polygamy is intended as a form of the solution to avoid injustice to orphans women. Even if polygamy still want to do, should the husband marrying the widows who have lighten the orphan.

The balance between crime control methods and individual liberties is always problematic, creating tension, because in order to investigate crime, and adjudicate and punish offenders, it is necessary to make reasonable intrusions into the liberty of citizens. This study uses data from 40 countries to examine the crime control measures (police per capita and conviction rates) that reflect government investments in criminal justice apparatus to control crime and criminals, as well as the use of these crime control measures through government intervention in the lives of its citizens (formal citizen contacts with police, prosecution rate, and detention rate), to examine their impact on crime victimization rates (homicide rates and crimes included in the international crime victim survey). The purpose is to examine whether these government interventions have any impact on crime rates across countries, controlling other independent variables that might help to explain any observed relationships among these variables (such as measures of civil liberties, democracy, human development, available information and communications technologies, political rights, corruption perceptions, education, economic freedom, freedom of the press, and prosperity).

The Difference

The present paper describes an investigation of diffusion in the solid state. Previous experimental work has been confined to the case in which the free energy of a mixture is a minimum for the single-phase state, and diffusion decreases local differences of concentration. This may be called ‘diffusion downhill’. However, it is possible for the free energy to be a minimum for the two-phase state; diffusion may then increase differences of concentration; and so may be called ‘diffusion uphill’. Becker (1937) has proposed a simple theoretical treatment of these two types of diffusion in a binary alloy. The present paper describes an experimental test of this theory, using the unusual properties of the alloy Cu 4 FeNi 3 . This alloy is single phase above 800° C and two-phase at lower temperatures, both the phases being face-centred cubic; the essential difference between the two phases is their content of copper. On dissociating from one phase into two the alloy develops a series of intermediate structures showing striking X-ray patterns which are very sensitive to changes of structure. It was found possible to utilize these results for a quantitative study of diffusion ‘uphill’ and ‘downhill’ in the alloy. The experimental results, which can be expressed very simply, are in fair agreement with conclusions drawn from Becker’s theory. It was found that Fick’s equation, dc / dt = D d2c / dx2 , can, within the limits of error, be applied in all cases, with the modification that c denotes the difference of the measured copper concentration from its equilibrium value. The theory postulates that D is the product of two factors, of which one is D 0f the coefficient of diffusion that would be measured if the alloy were an ideal solid solution. The theory is able to calculate D/D 0 , if only in first approximation, and the experiments confirm this calculation. It was found that in most cases the speed of diffusion—‘uphill’ or ‘downhill’—has the order of magnitude of D 0 . * Now with British Electrical Research Association.

Target Promoter

The Brn-3a, Brn-3b, and Brn-3c POU family transcription factors are closely related to one another and are members of the group IV subfamily of POU factors. Here we show that despite this close relationship, the factors have different effects on the activity of a target promoter: Brn-3a and Brn-3c stimulate the promoter whereas Brn-3b represses it. Moreover, Brn-3b can antagonize the stimulatory effect of Brn-3a on promoter activity and can also inhibit promoter activation by the Oct-2.1 POU factor. The difference in the transactivation activities of Brn-3a and Brn-3b is dependent upon the C-terminal region containing the POU domain of the two proteins, since exchange of this domain between the two factors converts Brn-3a into a repressor and Brn-3b into an activator.

Crime is a phenomenon of human life and society, therefore it cannot be released from space and time. The rise and fall of crime rates depends on the circumstances of the community, political conditions, economy, culture and so forth. Based on the results of research at the Jambi BPOM, the problem of crime and violations is a phenomenon that cannot be implemented in people's lives. However, not all people obey the regulations made by the government, many cases of violation of food products without marketing licenses have been successfully disclosed, for information, in 2013 to 2015, a number of 19 cases of drug circulation, cosmetics, traditional medicine and health supplements, food, which does not meet security, benefits, and quality requirements with a nominal value of Rp. 423,769,000 including: 10 cases in the field of medicine, 2 cases in the field, 5 cases in the field of cosmetics and 2 cases in the field of food. successfully revealed and has been submitted to court.

The background of this research is the exixtance of the difference opinion between ulama and moslem scholars about the law of interest in Islam, which is until now still not discovered the solusion opinion and it make interesting for the researcher to make a research about the object more deep and more wide. But the researcher will not use Islamic law perspective as analysis basic, the researcher will use the objectives of sharia as analysis basic.This research is limited by several problems as following: (1) Why bank interest is needed by conventional banks? And (2) How is the law of interest if observed from the objectives of syariah (maqashid sharia)?This research is a library research. In this research the researcher choose to use a conceptual approach because the purposes which need to be achieved trouhg this research is to result an Islamic law thought about the law of interest which is not being bounded by the opinions or theories launched by majority of the moslem scholar. So this research can originally refer to the objectives of the sharia as what has been agreed by majority of ulama.The results of this research there are: (1) the interest is a money amount addition which have to paid by bank to the costumer based on the loan percentage that given by bank to their customer. Bank interest is used for the Bank's operational costs, if there is no interest instrument, it is likely that the Bank will not be able to survive. And (2) there are three opinions of ulama’s law judgments about the law of interest, it is forbidden (haram), permitted (halal) and dubious (shubhat). If this law opinions observed based on the objevtives of sharia, the researcher can make a conclusion that the opinion which is permit the interest is the most according to the objectives of sharia, and it is related to the concept of hifz al-nafs (take care of soul) and hifz al-mâl(take care of property) than the opinion whih has been forbid the interest. The permitted law of interest in the concept of hifz al-nafs (take care of soul) can be located in the dharuriyah, hajiyah and tahsiniyah degrees. While The permitted law of interest in the concept ofhifz al-mâl(take care of property)can be located in the dharuriyah and hajiyah degrees. Keywords: Interest, Usury, Maqashid Sharia, hifz al-nafs (Take care of soul), hifz al-mâl (Take care of Property).

Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA) is a multivariate statistic method that is used at the evaluation of sensory analyses in the food industry. GPA provides benefit in terms of decreasing the difference between the panellists and bringing the data obtained from different panellists together. In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of a pre-slaughter fasting period on sensory characteristics of lambs fed with different rations using GPA. Semi-trained panellists formed from twenty-six persons were requested for evaluation of the meat samples such as tenderness, juiciness, flavour and overall liking rated on a scale of 1(extremely dislike) to 9 (extremely good). The first two factors obtained by GPA explained 66.74% of total variability. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that 12 h and 24 h fasting of lambs fed barley supplemented with alfalfa hay were less preferable when compared to lambs fed alfalfa hay only. In addition, lambs in both groups with 48 h fasting were preferred less by the panellists. In conclusion, GPA analysis provides useful data concerning the sensitivity of each panellist in a sensory panel test.

This paper described the formulation of Yūsuf al-Qarḍāwī's isntinbāṭ method towards moderate fiqh. The choice of this theme was based on the existence of two demeanours in religion, between permissive and inclusive. Two main questions in this research were, first, how did Yūsuf al-Qarḍāwī formulate the istinbāṭ method for moderate fiqh? Second, how is the implementation of this method in formulating Islamic law? This paper concluded two things through a literature study with the descriptive-analytic method. First, there were six formulations of the istinbāṭ method for the moderation of Islamic law. a. Examining the maqāṣid contained in the text before determining Islamic law, b. Linking texts and Islamic law with texts and other Islamic laws. c. Understanding texts in the frame of asbāb (al-nuzūl or al-wurūd), both micro and macro. d. Distinguishing between constant maqāṣids and changing instruments. e. Adjusting between al-thawābit and al-mutaghayyirāt. f. Observing the difference between worship and mu’āmalah in terms of wisdom, ‘illah and maqāṣid. Second, this method of istinbāṭ could produce fiqh with a flexible, elastic, dynamic, adaptive, and easy-to-practice.
