Mussafirs of the 21st Century: British South Asian Muslim women, higher education and the changing notions of âBritishnessâ
The South Asian Muslim community in Britain is one that has become increasingly âvisibleâ with what it means to be âBritish Muslimâ remaining a pertinent issue. Given that the British South Asian community is set to grow, it is necessary to engage with this community in order to understand how discourses around gender, ethnicity and identity affect how this community develops. The aim of this research was to engage with specific members of the British South Asian Muslim community, that of women and mothers. In undertaking this research aspects of identity, belonging and citizenship were explored, with particular emphasis placed on discourses around âidentityâ. Drawing on narratives expressed in focus groups and interviews this research analysed and explored the influences of higher education in shaping attitudes towards citizenship and belonging. Higher education was revealed to have a positive impact on Muslim womenâsâ lives, whilst identities and the notions of âBritishnessâ were increasingly areas of intense negotiation

Solution of the Einstein-Maxwell Equations with Anisotropic Negative Pressure as a Potential Model of a Dark Energy Star
We have obtained a new class of solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell ïŹeld equations for static spherically symmetric spacetimes by considering the negative anisotropic pressures, which represents a potential model of a dark energy star. We take the equation of state pr = âÏ, where pr is the radial pressure and Ï is the density. We have also checked that for these solutions metric coeïŹcients, mass density, radial pressure, transverse pressure, electric ïŹeld, and current density are well deïŹned for suitable values of the parameters involved in the solution. These exact solutions can be used to develop models of dark energy stellar interiors satisfying all physical constraints except for the causality condition, which cannot be satisïŹed for the equation of state considered here, and which is arguably not an applicable physical constraint for dark matter/energy.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
