Family Functioning And Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy: A Study Of First Year Malaysian Undergraduate Students, Melati Sumari

Dissertations

The findings of the study show that the relationships between family functioning subscales and career decision-making self-efficacy subscales were between small and moderate. The study also found that each family functioning subscale contributed less than 15% of the variance in career decision-making self-efficacy. The total variance accounted for by the six family functioning subscales was small (32%). Important findings of the analyses of variances include: (a) male students perceived their families as more dysfunctional than female students; (b) Chinese students perceived their families as more dysfunctional than Malay and Indian students; (c) students in science majors perceived their families as …

Iraq, Women's Empowerment And Public Policy, Sherifa D. Zuhur Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The role and experience of women is not always considered in wartime or during stabilization and reconstruction operations. In Iraq, it is essential to consider women’s needs and the obstacles they now face. The author examines some of the difficulties that attend policy formulation on Iraqi women, who have identified the security situation and basic services as their top priorities. Issues and contours of family law are explained, as the future of family law in emerging Iraq is as yet undetermined. Along with an increased political presence, legal reforms, together with educational and employment opportunities, have been the planks of …

The Critique Of Arab Thought: Mohammed Arkoun's Deconstruction Method, Siti Rohmah Soekarba

Makara Human Behavior Studies in Asia

Mohammed Arkoun is one of international modern Islamic thinkers that his thought comes into Islamic thinking discourses in Indonesia recently. His Islamic thought was influenced by the modern philosophical concepts such as ‘myths’ of Ricouer, postmodern concepts like ‘discourse’ and ‘episteme’, which were developed by Foucault as well as ‘deconstruction’ of Derrida. If Derrida focused on deconstruction as a final concept, on the other hand Arkoun insisted that ‘deconstruction’ must be followed by ‘reconstruction’ of a discourse. Arkoun’s reconstruction leaves the limitation, the rigidity and deviation from the past. Arkoun proposes two ways: firstly it is ‘ijtihad’ and subsequently it …

Iran, Iraq, And The United States: The New Triangle's Impact On Sectarianism And The Nuclear Threat, Sherifa D. Zuhur Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This monograph considers the issues of Iranian influence in Iraq, and its impact on continuing sectarian violence there. It also questions the claims that a Shi'a crescent of power is solidifying by examining the distinct features of Iraqi versus Iranian Shi'ism and political Islam. Iran and Iraq have historically influenced and threatened each other. Today, the situation has been further complicated by the post-2003 change in the Iraqi Shi'a community’s status, Iran's development of a nuclear program, and international efforts to contain that program. These issues are now influenced by a new pattern of Iraqi-Iranian, U.S.-Iraqi and Iranian-U.S. dynamics. This …

Rocking The Cradle To Rocking The World: The Role Of Muslim Female Fighters, Farhana Ali

Journal of International Women's Studies

Attacks by the mujahidaat are arguably more deadly than those conducted by male fighters and could motivate other Muslim women to adopt suicide as the tactic of choice. The use of Muslim women to conduct martyrdom, or suicide, operations by male-dominated terrorist groups could have implications on the jihadi mindset, challenging more conservative groups such as Al Qaeda, to reconsider the utility of the Muslim woman on the front lines of jihad. These terrorist groups will likely exploit women to conduct operations on their behalf to advance their goals and achieve tactical gain.

Muslim women are increasingly joining the global …

Proses Mencari 'Illah Dalam Menentukan Hukum: Kajian Teori Berasaskan Usul Syafi'i / Edi Yanto Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali Edi Yanto

Student Works (2000-2009)

Tajuk disertasi ini ialah "Proses Mencari 'Illah Dalam Menentukan Hukum: Kajian Teori Berasaskan Usul Syafi'i. Berpunca daripada pandangan yang mengatakan bahawa qiyas ('Illah) menurut Imam Syafi'i adalah sempit dan berasaskan tekstual. Penelitian yang dilakukan, temyata 'Illah pada pandangan Imam Syafi'I memiliki jangkauan yang luas dan anjal. Keluasan 'il/ah di sisi Imam Syafi'I ini dapat dilihat menerusi istilah ma 'nii yang beliau tulis dalam kitab al-Risiilah. Istilah tersebut kemudian dikembangkan pengertiannya oleh ulama Syafi'iyyah klasik dalam konsep maslahah. Metodologi kajian ini sepenuhnya menggunakan kaedah analisis perpustakaan iaitu menerusi tiga metode. Metode pertama ialah mengumpulkan sumber data dengan merujuk kepada pelbagai kitab …

Ayatollah Khomeini And The Islamic Revolution In Iran, Dustin John Byrd

Masters Theses

This thesis examines the events leading up to the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran and the role of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in bringing about that revolution. It attempts to demonstrate the social, psychological, political, and religious factors that led to the rise of Khomeini as the leader of the revolution. It furthermore focuses on Khomeini's strategy to oppose, destabilize, and eventually overthrow the Shah of Iran through various means. This thesis is limited to the study of Khomeini as a revolutionary figure, not as a head of state, and therefore I do not examine Khomeini after the overthrow of the …
