Field localization and Nambu Jona-Lasinio mass generation mechanism in an alternative 5-dimensional brane model

We consider a 5-dimensional brane world model with a single brane which is distinct from the well known Randall-Sundrum model. We discuss the similarities and differences between our brane model and the Randall-Sundrum brane model. In particular we focus on the localization of 5D fields with different spins -- spin 0, spin 1/2, spin 1 -- to the brane, and a self-consistent mass generation mechanism. We find that the brane model studied here has different (and in some cases superior) localization properties for fields/particles with different spins to the brane, as compared to the original 5-dimensional brane models. In addition this alternative 5D brane model exhibits a self generation mechanism which recalls the self-consistent approach of Nambu and Jona-Lasinio.Comment: 25 pages, no figures.

Implementasi Kepatuhan Syariah Dalam Perbankan Islam (Syariah) (Studi Perbandingan Antara Malaysia Dan Indonesia)

Since the compliance towards shari'ah principles is mandatory in Islamic banking, the shari'ah advisory and supervision is another important aspect. It is also said that the shari'ah advisory and supervision is part and parcel of shari'ah compliance. In this regard, the regulation on shari'ah advisory or supervision, which also covers the role of shari'ah board, shall occupy the central part within the shari'ah compliance regulatory framework. In light of the abovementioned reasons, the research and discussion on shari'ah compliance, together with the role of the shari'ah board is very demanding and relevant to the current problems in the Islamic banking business. This paper will focus on the regulatory framework of the shari'ah compliance and its implementation in Islamic banking in Malaysia and Indonesia. Through the comparison between the two countries, some advantages will be identified.Particular reference should be made to the regulations and their implementation in the Islamic banking in Malaysia and Indonesia since there are few valuable considerations. Malaysia experienced the advanced development of Islamic banking compared to the rest of the Asian Muslim countries in the Southeast Asia region. The both countries are moslem dominated countries, and also, they share in the affiliation to Shafi'i Madhhab

Undang-undang Advokat dan De-Kompartementasi Studi Ilmu Hukum

One among recent crucial issues in legal profession is the statement in the newly legalized Act no. 18 on Advocate that to be an advocate is not a compulsory to be a graduant of Faculty of Law, rather it now is possible to a graduant of Faculty of Islamic Law (Shari'ah) or Faculty of Military Law and any other law specialized faculty. This new regulation brings and offers a wide opportunity for Islamic Law students to gain such legal profession. On the other hand, this is as a new challenges for the Faculty of Law to reconstruct, not only the curriculum, but also facilities and human resources involved in order to be capable to respond such opportunity

Fatwa dalam Keuangan Syariah: Kekuatan Mengikat dan Kemungkinannya untuk Digugat melalui Judicial Review

The main problems of this research are: first, the conceptual definition of fatwa in Islamic law in general and sharia financial law specifically; second, the legality or binding force of fatwa in sharia economic law; and third, the possibility of judicial review for fatwa issued by National Sharia Board (DSN). This research is a normative juridical study based on the primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The conclusion drawn in this research is: first, fatwa is a legal opinion issued by an individual or a particular institution which has purpose or function to present any opinions regarding the matters related to life aspectsby considering the sharia principles or Islamic doctrines; second, the legality of fatwa appears due to the statement of the existing regulation stating that only fatwa issued by DSN which becomes the reference of sharia banking businesses. Even if DSN is considered as a non-government institution due to which its regulatory products do not have binding force unlike the regulations issued by the governmental institutions in general, fatwa still has its own binding nature, though substantively it is due to the existence of the Regulation of Bank of Indonesia related to the sharia banking provisions since if there is anything regarding sharia matters, Bank of Indonesia shall adopt the DSN fatwa. Third, as the consequence of the binding force, in which the government regulation might be legally reviewed, fatwa is also possible to be an object of a request for judicial review

Pornografi Dalatn Hukum Barat dan Hukum Islam^ (Kontribusi Konseptual Bagi Pengaturan Pornografi dan Pornoaksi dalam Hukum Positif)

In Islamic perspective, interpretation of pornography has correlation to the body. It means that it is something forbidden and it must be covered. It is certainly very quite different from the secular terminology, Islam denotes directly kinds or variation of forbidden deed in moral context or characters so that prohibition in Islam is fixed and clear. It has no correlation to the standard of society or the deed deals with the sexuality. The principle of sexual in Islam therefore could not change as easy as the perception of people on pornography
