    Women's Ijtihad and Lady Amin's Islamic ethics on womanhood and motherhood

    Get PDF
    Women's position, identity, and value in Islam have been affected by androcentric interpretations of the Qur'an and hadith throughout Islamic history. Women's roles in society, as well as their position vis-a-vis Islamic sources and authority, have been shaped by these interpretations. In Shi'a Islam, due to the majority male clergy's resistance, women have rarely reached the highest loci of Shi'i authority and jurisprudence. However, there have been women scholars who have transgressed these normative frameworks. Lady Amin, who was one of the most prominent Iranian theologians of the 19th and 20th centuries, is a notable example. Lady Amin had great knowledge of jurisprudence and gained the status of mujtahida at the age of forty. Her scholarly work addressed not only interpretations of the Qur'an and hadith, but also women's issues and gender politics of her time. This study addresses women's ijtihad in Shi'a Islam and investigates Lady Amin's teachings on the topics of womanhood and motherhood. This study focuses on Lady Amin's book of Islamic ethics, titled Ways of Happiness: Suggestions for Faithful Sisters, written as a Shi'i source of guidance with a specific focus on women and gender in Shi'a Islam

    On the vertex corrections in antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation theories

    We argue that recent calculations by Amin and Stamp (PRL 77, 301 (1996); cond-mat/9601086) overestimate the strength of the vertex corrections in the spin-fermion model for cuprates. We clarify the physical origin of the apparent discrepancy between their results and earlier calculations. We also comment on the relative sign of the vertex correction.Comment: 3 pages, Revtex, 1 figure, ps-file also available at http://lifshitz.physics.wisc.edu/www/morr/morr_homepage.htm

    Poster presentation at REU Summer's End Research Symposium, 2014, by REU participant Beatrix Seytono, Calhoun Community College - Bjoern Reinhard group, Amin Feizpour lab mentor.Phosphatidylserine(PS) and monosialotetrahexosylganglioside(GM1) are examples of two host-derived lipids in the membrane of enveloped virus particles that are known to contribute to virus attachment, uptake, and ultimately dissemination. We learn the binding infinity of PS and GM1 lipid by using gold nanoparticle (GNP) since it is stable and conductive. Besides, changing concentration of lipid on the virus can control how the virus infective. The performed studies can use identify unknown concentration of lipid.NSF-RE
