Al-Ḥallāǧ: a View from the Court

This note examines one cluster of accounts on the trial of al-Ḥallāǧ (d. 309/922) in two near-contemporary and one later historian, looking at how each author uses the material and how such material functions within their specific work.

Discursive stickiness: Affective institutional texts and activist resistance

Pushing the bounds of public relations theory and research, we explore how institutional texts have produced and reified stigmas around gender transgression and how these texts are bound up in moments of activism and resistance. We considered how different discursive and material functions get “stuck” together by way of texts and how this sticking depends on a history of association and institutionalization. Activism presents opportunities to challenge institutional and structural stickiness, and we argue that public relations can challenge the affective assemblages that comprise and perpetuate these systems, unsettling the historical discourses that have governed institutions by establishing new communicative possibilities.

Analisis Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Pada Materi Fungsi Melalui Penerapan Model Pendidikan Matematika Realistik

This study aims to determine the problem solving skills of IX grade students of SMPK St. Paulus on the material functions with the Realistic Mathematics Education approach. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this study consisted of 10 students of class IX. Students' answers are analyzed and classified according to the type of answer. The following student answers consist of 5 different types of answers. Seven students with the first, second and fourth types of answers fulfill four indicators. One student with the third type of answer only reaches two indicators namely the first and second indicators, and one student with the fifth answer type fulfills three indicators namely the first, third and fourth indicators. Based on the results of the analysis it can be concluded that there are 80% of students fulfilling the four indicators of NCTM, 10% of students do not meet the third and fourth indicators and 10% of students do not meet the second indicator

PENGEMBANGAN MATA KULIAH HADIS TARBAWI PADA PERGURUAN TINGGI ISLAM

The Tarbawi Hadith material development is a study carried out in the framework of development and component results and approach analysis. This included the development of tarbawi hadith course accessed by integrating and interconnecting science. This research provided inspiration and innovation in the development of constructive scientific quality and presenting reinforcement of learning formulation material as a scientific study program. This study applied an exploratory-descriptive research designed qualitatively. The development of the Tarbawi hadith material required systemic steps and applied by maximizing the sustainable aspect of inter-connectivity between the basic structured of allied subject matter for the aspects of material functions and the methodology of the study of hadith material related to the contemporary religious studies.

APPLICABILITY INDICATORS AND IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUE FOR A NONLINEAR MAXWELL-TYPE ELASTO-VISCOPLASTIC MODEL USING REPEATED CREEP RECOVERY TESTS

A physically non-linear Maxwell-type constitutive relation for non-aging elasto-viscoplastic materials is considered. General properties of repeated creep recovery curves generated by the relation under four-step uni-axial loadings consisting of two rectangular pulses of stress and two rest periods at zero stress are studied analytically assuming two material functions of the relation are arbitrary. The analysis reveals several characteristic features of the theoretic creep recovery curves and repeated creep recovery curves that can be employed as the relation applicability (or non- applicability) indicators which are convenient for check using test data of a material. Two effective general identification techniques are developed. The first one is based on a set of creep recovery tests at various stress levels and implies measurement of two strain magnitudes in each test. The second one is based on a set of repeated creep and recovery tests and implies measurement of four strain magnitudes in each test. More complex loading program enables to reduce the number of tests and samples twice and to obtain more information on a material behavior and to check a number of additional applicability indicators. The explicit expressions are derived in each case to determine the material functions values at arbitrarily chosen points in stress domain. The identification techniques enable separate and direct evaluation of the material functions values via test data without error accumulation. A number of the identification technique versions are considered and their advantages and shortcomings are discussed. In the case of materials exhibiting creep rate power dependence on stress, a specific rapid procedure is developed for the model identification in the class of power material functions and additional applicability indicators are found. In this case only one repeated creep recovery test and four measured magnitudes of strain are sufficient to determine four material parameters through the explicit expressions obtained.
