The study of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) is a dynamic exercise. It constantly evolves and changes in certain time frames depending on situation, environment and the needs of human life in a particular place. The need of Islamic jurisprudence to change becomes obvious especially in the field of medical science that involves diseases (in this case sexual or reproductive diseases). This is due to advancements in medical technology in line with competition in globalization and paradigm shifts that have enabled certain diseases previously considered incurable to finally be treated or even fully cured. Even if this is not the case, a …

Helping Families To Capitalize On Literacy In Their Homes, Paula K. Azinger
Graduate Research Papers
Literacy events of some sort occur most everyday in every home. Most schools have not considered some children's homes to be a source of rich literacy experiences, yet literacy practices are embedded within the daily routines of almost every family (McCarthey, 1997).

Perspectives On Black - White Interracial Relationships In The South, Celeste Andria Wheat
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations (1964–2006)
By analyzing 12 in-depth interviews with individuals who live in the South Georgia area and who are involved in Black-White interracial relationships, I explain how respondents perceive the appearance of their relationships and how they think others react to their relationships. I also address how the intersection of race and gender affects the interviewees' experiences with family, friends, and strangers. This analysis contributes to current debates about interracial romance by describing how interracial couples experience dating in the South and how race and gender intersects to shape those experiences.

Transracial Adoption (Tra) And The Development Of Ethnoracial Identity, Mairi Mckenna

Research on the experience of transracial adoption and the development of identity has indicated that supports for this process are required. Research that has not named transracial adoption as negatively impacting on identity has also recommended these kinds of family supports. There has, however, been a disquieting absence of such support programs. It is for these reasons that I have set out to start the process of identifying the best practices for such supports and begin the process of creating such a program. The methodology is influenced by a number of different theories: participatory action research (PAR), needs assessment, capacity …

The Chinese home-based subcontractors entered the formal labour force, mainly as workers i" the garment industry when they were young and single but withdrew into home-based subcontracting after marriage and childbirth.

This attracted garment manufacturers in search of low cost labour to relocate from newly industrialized countries to Malaysia as part of the International Division of Labour.
