    يهدف البحث إلى معالجة ظاهرة تأديب المعلم للمتعلم بالضرب، من خلال بيان الضمان المترتب عند حصول التلف من الضرب، وتناولت الدراسة: بيان أقوال الفقهاء في ضمان تأديب المعلم بالضرب، والترجيح بينها، وشروط الضمان، وضوابط التأديب مقارنة بقانون الجزاء الكويتي. وتوصل الباحث إلى نتيجة إجمالية تمثلت في: تضمين المعلم في تأديبه للمتعلم عند التلف ولو كان الضرب بالمعتاد وبلا إسراف، وهو رأي أبي حنيفة والشافعية، وجاء قانون الجزاء الكويتي في شروط الـتأديب والضمان المترتب عليه متَّفقًا بشكل كبير مع الفقه الإسلامي. ويوصي الباحث: بأن يتم انتقاء المعلمين بعناية من خلال المقابلة الشخصية الحقيقية، وبضرورة مراقبة أدائه، وأن يكون ضرب المتعلم عند الاستحقاق من خلال إشراف إداري ونفسي وتربوي، وأن يُلتزَم بضوابط التأديب الشرعية.his study aims to address the issue of corporal punishment administered by teachers to pupils with respect to civil liability regarding the occurrence of damages caused by the punishment. The study delves into the statements of the jurists regarding the corporal discipline carried out by teachers and attempts to identify the correct position. The study also mentions the conditions for civil liability, as well as the disciplinary controls put in place by the Kuwaiti penal code. The researcher concludes that teachers who discipline their students are liable for all damages, even if the punishment is mild and not typically one that causes injury. This view of Abu Hanifa and al-Shafi'I in a Kuwaiti penal code ruling on this issue is mostly compatible with Islamic jurisprudence. The researcher recommends that teachers be carefully selected through personal interviews and that their performance should be continuously monitored. The paper encourages corporal discipline under administrative, psychological and educational supervision and with adherence to Islamic disciplinary controls

    The adjusted empirical Lorenz curve using a cubic spline interpolation formula

    A Cubic spline interpolation formula is proposed to estimate the quantile function found in the functional form of the Adjusted Lorenz curve proposed by Al-Hussainan (2000) to estimate its theoretical counterpart. This procedure makes, yet, another option of quantile estimation available to the use of the adjusted Lorenz curv

    Automatic White Blood Cell Differential Classification

    A Master of Science thesis in Mechatronics Submitted to the School of Engineering by Juma A. Bin Darwish Al-Muhairy, "Automatic White Blood Cell Differential Classification," June 2005. Thesis Advisor Dr. Yousef Al- Assaf. Available are Both Soft and Hard Copies of the Thesis.The characteristics (quantity, shape and color) of the white blood cell (WBC) can give vital information about a patient's health. Hematologists, with the aid of microscopes, use their experience to classify WBCs and make appropriate reporting and recommendations to physicians. Automating the segmentation and classification of WBC could provide a useful tool in medical diagnoses. In this work, computer-based segmentation and classification of the four main classes of WBC (Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Lymphocytes, and Monocytes) were completed. Soft computing algorithms including neural network (NN) and polynomial classifiers (PC) were used for WBC classification, while watershed and thresholding based on size, shape, color and texture characteristics were used to segment WBC from Red Blood Cells RBC, platelets, cell fragments and stains. Furthermore, characteristics of the WBC were utilized in association with the intelligent systems to classify these WBC's to different classes. The number and distribution of different classes of WBC has medical indications (e.g. high Neutrophils count may possibly imply cancer, whereas high Lymphocytes count could lead to AIDS). To classify WBC morphological based features, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based features and Discrete Wavelets Transform (DWT) based features were used as input feature vectors to the Neural Networks NN and Polynomial Classifiers PC. Various iv feature extraction modalities and classifiers were tested on blood data obtained from patients at Twam Hospital in UAE. Combining color morphological and DWT features in association with the PC second order classifier achieved a Classification Accuracy (CA) of 99.3%. Other advantages of using PC was that it needed less computational requirements and classification was independent on various user-set parameters as it was the case of NN. In addition, PC proven to be more reliable and consistent in terms of results compared to NN.College of EngineeringMultidisciplinary ProgramsMaster of Science in Mechatronics Engineering (MSMTR
