At home with Muhammad Ali : a memoir of love, loss, and forgiveness
Muhammad Ali's daughter presents a candid and intimate family memoir based on personal recordings her father kept throughout his adult life, detailing the everyday adventures their family shared and their collective experiences with pain, laughter, and love.
Book
What's My Name
In this study of four citizens of the African diaspora—American boxer Muhammad Ali, West Indian Marxist critic C. L. R. James, British cultural theorist Stuart Hall, and Jamaican musician Bob Marley—Farred develops a new category of engaged thinker: the vernacular intellectual. He offers a vision of intellectual activity that is as valid in the boxing ring as in academia.

Ali on Ali : why he said what he said when he said it
\"\"Muhammad Ali was a champion, a poet, a prophet. Sports Illustrated called him \"the greatest athlete of the twentieth century.\" And yet he was even more than all of that, \"a whole greater than the sum of its parts . . . bigger, brighter, more original and influential than just about anyone of his era\" (Barack Obama). He got there with his fists, with his actions, and above all, with his words. Compiled and written by his daughter Hana Ali, with sportswriter Danny Peary, Ali on Ali brings together a remarkable mix of Ali's 70 most humorous, poignant, inspirational, political, and philosophical quotes, all with their origins. Here's Ali's enduring boast, \"I am the greatest!\"--and how it was inspired by professional wrestler Gorgeous George. The story behind one of the most memorably poetic lines of the century--\"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.\" The heard-round-the-world defiance of \"I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong,\" and its moving context. And the stories behind quotes ranging from outrage--\"We been in jail for 400 years,\" to inspiration--\"I hated every minute of training, but I said 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion,'\" to that infectious combination of humor and bravado--\"If you even dream of beating me you better wake up and apologize.\" Included are powerful photographs throughout, from iconic fight scenes to never-before-seen Ali family snapshots; quotes about Ali, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Billy Crystal; a career timeline; and a personal introduction by Hana Ali\"-- Provided by publisher.

A religion, not a state : Ali ʻAbd al-Raziq's Islamic justification of political secularism
In this notable work, Souad T. Ali examines the seminal writings of Egyptian reformist scholar Ali'Abd al-Raziq, often regarded as the intellectual father of Islamic secularism, and his controversial argument that the caliphate should be considered a human innovation, rather than a religious imperative. 'Abd al Raziq contended that Islam is a religion, not a state; a message, not a government, a major departure from the traditional view that religious and political spheres are intertwined and inseparable in Islam.
Opponents denounced 'Abd al-Raziq's ideas as a foreign corruption imported from the West. Ali's careful, objective, and scholarly examination of 'Abd al-Raziq's work, however, reveals that his arguments are not based in Western thought. Rather, they sit firmly within the dictates of Islam's sacred texts, particularly the Quran and Hadith, and also enjoy considerable support from the historical record.
This analysis critically challenges prevalent misinterpretations of Islam that have endured for centuries. Ali recognizes the varied models and discourses that have arisen throughout different epochs, especially so the role that Western intervention has played in placing the question of Islam's modernity at the forefront of intellectual debate. Throughout, the study emphasizes the atmosphere of openness and tolerance that is a requisite for free, intelligent debate.

أطروحة حياة : سيرة حياة علي شريعتي بقلم زوجته
يتناول الكتاب سيرة حياة بوران التي كانت حافلة بالنشاط السياسي والثقافي والاجتماعي والأعمال الخيرية التي لم تفارقها ما دامت هي على قيد الحياة، وعندما تلتقي بها تشعر بأنها عاشت حياة مملوءة بالمتاعب وتربية الأطفال والملاحقات السياسية والتنغيصات من قبل هذا وذاك، ولكن مع كل هذه الأمور ظلت بوران صامدة وسائرة نحو الهدف الذي رسمته لنفسها فبقيت منارة وشمعة تضيء إلى الآخرين.

Emergence of Terbinafine Resistant Trichophyton mentagrophytes in Iran, Harboring Mutations in the Squalene Epoxidase ( SQLE ) Gene
and
are important causative agents of superficial mycoses, demonstrating emergent antifungal drug resistance. We studied the antifungal susceptibility profiles in Iranian isolates of these two species.
A total of 96
and 45
isolates were subjected to molecular typing by ribosomal ITS region. Antifungal susceptibility profiles for terbinafine, griseofulvin, clotrimazole, efinaconazole, luliconazole, amorolfine and ciclopirox were obtained by CLSI broth microdilution method. The squalene epoxidase (
) gene was subjected to sequencing for mutations, if any, in isolates exhibiting elevated MICs for terbinafine.
Luliconazole and efinaconazole showed the lowest MIC values against
and
isolates. There were five isolates with terbinafine MICs ≥32 µg/mL in our sample. They belonged to
type VIII and harbored two alternative
gene sequence variants, leading to Phe397Leu and Ala448Thr or Leu393Ser and Ala448Thr substitutions in the enzyme. All terbinafine resistant strains could be inhibited by luliconazole and efinaconazole.
This study documented a step in the global spread of resistance mechanisms in
. However, treatment alternatives for resistant isolates were available.

Characterization of acute lung injury in the bleomycin rat model
The aim of this study was to describe and characterize the pathophysiological changes occurring during the early inflammatory phase (first 3 days) in the rat bleomycin model of lung injury preceding the development of fibrosis. Further, we wanted to understand the kinetics and factors contributing to bleomycin‐induced acute lung injury (ALI) and provide a robust, reliable and reproducible framework of features of ALI readouts to assess effects of therapeutics on bleomycin‐induced ALI in rats. We induced ALI in rats with intratracheal (i.t.) installation of bleomycin. The animals were sacrificed on predetermined time points, that is, Day 0, 1, 2, and 3 post the bleomycin challenge. We analyzed bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue to establish and assess relevant experimental features of ALI. We demonstrated that bleomycin induced key features of experimental ALI including a profound increase in neutrophils in BALF (50–60%), pulmonary edema, and lung pathology on Day 3 after challenge. Furthermore, we showed that TGF‐β1, IL‐1β, TNF‐α, IL‐6, CINC‐1, TIMP‐1, and WISP‐1 were induced by studying their kinetic profile during the first 3 days after bleomycin injury consistent with their known role ALI. We also confirmed that detectable fibrogenesis occurs at the earliest on Day 3 after injury based on collagen content, along with changes in the TGF‐β/Smad signaling pathway and increased expression of Galectin‐3, Vimentin, and Fibronectin in lung homogenate. Our report presents robust features and contributing mediators/factors to the pathology of bleomycin‐induced ALI in rats on Day 3. The kinetic data provide insights on the progression of ALI and a detailed understanding of early events before actual fibrosis development. This set of experimental endpoints is very appropriate and invaluable for efficacy testing of potential novel therapeutic treatments (single or combined) in ALI and understanding their mechanism of action. We demonstrate that bleomycin induces key features of experimental ALI including a profound increase in neutrophils in BALF (50–60%), pulmonary edema, and lung pathology on Day 3 after the challenge. Furthermore, we showed that key inflammatory markers including TGF‐β1, IL‐1β, TNF‐α, IL‐6, CINC‐1, TIMP‐1, and WISP‐1 were induced by studying their kinetic profile during the first 3 days after bleomycin injury. Our work adds to the knowledge of current ALI models and provides a set of experimental endpoints appropriate for efficacy testing of potential novel therapeutic treatments in ALI and for understanding mechanisms of action of therapeutics under investigation.
