Prisoners of War in International Conventions Versus Islamic Law
No full textشهدت معاملة أسرى الحرب تطورات إيجابية هامة عبر حقب الزمن المتتالية في مختلف الحضارات التي مرت بها البشرية. كما شهدت تغييرات إيجابية كبيرة مع مجيء الإسلام بفضل تعاليمه من خلال القرآن والسنة؛ التي كانت تصب في مجملها في ضمان سلامة وكرامة أسير الحرب. في القرآن الكريم، هناك العديد من الآيات التي تنص على كيفية معاملة أسرى الحرب، ولعل من أهم ما ورد في هذا السياق من أحكام، عدم إجبار الأسير على ترك ديانته، وحفظ كرامته. وبصورة عامة، تحرم الشريعة الإسلامية أي تعسف أو أي نوع من التعذيب النفسي أو الجسدي في حق أسرى الحرب. وبالنسبة للقانون الدولي، فإن معظم الاتفاقيات والمعاهدات التي تناولت الموضوع تمت المصادقة عليها بعد الحربين العالميتين، في النصف الأول من القرن العشرين، أي بعد حوالي أربعة عشر قرنا من معالجة الإسلام لهذا الموضوع. وتعتبر اتفاقية جنيف لسنة 1949 أحدث معاهدة حول كيفية معاملة أسرى الحرب، حيث تنص في موادها المائة والثلاثة والأربعين على شروط احتجاز أسرى الحرب. سنحاول من خلال المقال تسليط الضوء على حقوق أسرى الحرب في دراسة مقارنة بين القانون الدولي من خلال اتفاقية جنيف الثالثة ومصادر الشريعة الإسلامية. سيتم في هذه الدراسة التركيز على المواد رقم 13، 14، 20، 51، من اتفاقية جنيف والمتعلقة بمعاملة أسرى الحرب وما يقابلها من نصوص تتناول نفس المسائل من الشريعة الإسلامية لتوضيح مدى تأثير الشريعة الإسلامية في المعاهدات الدولية المتعلقة بأسرى الحرب.Over time, the conception of treatment of war prisoners has been changing. They were cruelly treated and tortured during the Roman and Greek empires (Sage, 2002; Wickham, 2014)but under Islamic law their safety and dignity have to be protected ("IRAQ: TREATMENT OF PRISONERS OF WAR IN ISLAM," 2003). In the Holy Qur’an, many verses in different Surahs regulate war prisoners' rights (Munir, 2010). Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) used to enjoin the Muslims to treat prisoners well. Among these rights, a prisoner cannot be compelled to give up his/ her religion to embrace Islam, and also has the right to be fed and clothed. In the modern time, treaties and conventions regarding war prisoners were ratified after the two World Wars (Jones, 2016), namely the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War of 1949. In its 143 articles, the Convention defines the conditions of detention of war prisoners, their food and clothing, hygiene and medical attention, religious intellectual and physical activities. The attempt here concerns examining war prisoners’ rights in a comparative study between the Geneva Convention and the Islamic Law while showing the influence of the Islamic law on the international law dealing with the right of the prisoners of war
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The Pilgrimage to the Grand Magal in Ṭūbā, Senegal
Get PDFThe Grand Magal in Ṭūbā, in Senegal is the third biggest religious event in the Muslim community after the pilgrimage to the mausoleum of Imam al-Hussayn in Karbala, Iraq and the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. This paper deals with the pilgrimage to Ṭūbā that celebrates the life and teachings of Shaykh Amadou Bamba, the founder of the Sufi Murīdiyya Brotherhood. The event takes place on the 18th of Safar, the second month in the Islamic lunar calendar. Murīds (novices committed to spiritual enlightenment), pilgrims, and visitors from over the world descend onto the city of Ṭūbā to visit the mausoleum of Shaykh Bamba, which they believe to be infused with his spiritual power. The paper examines the spiritual connotations of the ceremonial ritual performed by the pilgrims. It also explores the social and economic impact of this religious celebration
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
