ELABORATION OF TASLIYAH VERSES: A HERMENEUTIC STUDY ON 'HĀSHIYAH AS-SĀWI ‘ALĀ TAFSĪR AL-JALĀLAIN
No full textThe concept of ‘tasliyah’ in the Qur’an which means consolation or reassurance plays a significant role in Tafseer and has been extensively discussed by Islamic scholars. One of the important commentaries of the Qur’an examining this concept is 'Hāshiyah as-Sāwi 'alā Tafsīr al-Jalālain' by Ahmad al-Ṣāwī, an influential figure in Islamic education in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the interpretation of tasliyah verses in the commentary and to find out how hermeneutics helps explain Ahmad al-Ṣāwī’s approach. This research uses a qualitative approach which includes hermeneutics, linguistic, Maqasid Tafseer, and socio-historical analysis approaches, with Krippendorff content-analysis as the method to analyze the data. The results of this study show that the Tafseer on tasliyah verses by integrating linguistic, literary, and Sufism aspects not only were interpreted as comfort in distress but also as strengthening faith and resilience. Through hermeneutics, the interpretation explores historical, social, and psychological contexts influencing al-Saawi’s reasoning, which offers a broader and deeper understanding of the tasliyah concept in Islamic spiritual and psychological contexts. This study highlights the importance of contexts in understanding consolation messages and spiritual reassurance addressed to the Prophet Muhammad as well as provides an insight into how social cognition plays a crucial role in interpreting religious texts
KONSEP TANAZZULAT MENURUT AHMAD AL-SAWI (STUDI ATAS KITAB HASYIYAH AL-SAWI ‘ALA TAFSIR AL-JALALAIN)
No full textTafsir merupakan hasil pemahaman atau penjelasan sorang mufasir terhadap
al-Qur’an yang dilakukan menggunakan metode atau pendekatan tertentu. Karenanya.
Tafsir menjadi suatu bagian terpenting di dalam kajian al-Qur’an yang sudah
dilakukan dari masa ke masa. Tanazzulat, yaitu suatu model komunikasi Allah kepada
hambaNya. Selanjutnya di antara tokoh yang menekuni bidang tanazzulat sebagai
komunikasi Allah kepada hambaNya adalah Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Sawi dalam
kitab tafsirnya yang berjudul “Hasyiyah al-Sawi ala Tafsir al-Jalalain”. Maka dengan
demikian, sangat penting untuk mengetahui apa dan bagaimana cara kerja konsep
tanazzulat yang digunakan Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Sawi dalam kitab tafsir
Hasyiyah al-Sawi ala Tafsir al-Jalalain dan apa yang melater belakangi beliau beliau
menulis kitab tersebut.
Adapun penelitian yang dilakukan adalah dengan menggunakan jenis
penelitian studi pustaka (library research) dengan metode analisis kualitatif yatu
dengan menelaah seluruh data yang tersedia dari berbagai sumber, baik itu primer
maupun sekunder. Adapun sumber primer yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah
karya Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Sawi yaitu “Hasyiyah al-Sawi ala Tafsir al-Jalalain”,
yang kemudian didukung dengan sumber-sumber sekunder diantaranya buku yang
berjudul “Tekstualitas al-Qur’an: Kritik terhadap Ulumul Qur’an ” dengan judul asli
“Mafhum al-Nas Dirasah fi Ulum al-Qur’an” serta buku-buku lainnya yang berkaitan
dengan tema penelitian.
Hasil yang penulis dapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah secara umum Ahmad
bin Muhammad al-Sawi menerangkan bahwa tanazzulat adalah salah satu dari model
komunikasi Allah kepada hambaNya dengan perantara Malaikat Jibril dan Nabi
Muhammad yang disampaikan kepada manusia seluruh alam dengan harapan para
manusia dapat memahami kalamNya dengan mudah. Sedangkan secara terperinci
ditemukan konsep tanazzulat sebagai berikut: ada dua model komunikasi Allah
kepada hambaNya dalam mengenalkan ZatNya. Pertama, secara haqiqi, yakni Allah
mengenalkan dengan segala ke-Maha AgunganNya seperti aku adalah yang
menciptakan langit dan bumi. Kedua, secara tanazzulat, yakni Allah menurunkan taraf
kalamNya sehingga dapat dipahami oleh manusia-manusia bahkan yang memiliki akal
rendah sekalipun. Seperti Allah adalah yang melipat-gandakan balasan dengan lipat
ganda yang banyak jika memberikan pinjaman kepada Allah dengan pinjaman yang
baik. Setelah Allah bertanazzul, kemudian Allah menaikkan taraf kalamNya ke
tempat seharusnya. Konsep tanazzulat ini muncul dilingkungan tariqah, lebih
tepatnya tariqah al-Khalwati
Newly isolated sporopollenin microcages from Platanus orientalis pollens as a vehicle for controlled drug delivery
No full textWOS: 000403381200030PubMed: 28532028Sporopollenin microcages were produced from the pollens of Platanus orientalis. Paracetamol was loaded into the microcages. Pollen, sporopollenin, paracetamol and paracetamol-loaded sporopollenin microcages were characterized with FT-IR, TGA and SEM. The analytical analyses demonstrated that sporopollenin microcages were structurally intact, highly reticulated and thermally stable. The loading efficiency of the sporopollenin microcages was found to be 8.2% using the passive loading technique and 23.7% via evaporating loading technique. In vitro release and kinetics studies were performed to test the suitability of sporopollenin microcages for loading. These studies revealed that sporopollenin from P. orientalis can be suggested as a suitable carrier for drug loading and controlled release studies.

The Application Of Polymer Particles In Industrial Processes
No full textThe research in this thesis considers novel innovative developments in established
industrial processes that involve the use of recyclable polymeric particles as a
partial replacement for aqueous media and chemicals. The application of the
technology typically leads to water savings of over 80% and chemical savings of
over 25%. These industrial processes may be characterised in that are considered
inefficient and wasteful but nevertheless are considered economically vital. These
diverse industries including laundry cleaning, leather manufacturing, textile
garment processing, effluent treatment and metal beverage can manufacture.
The outcomes of this research have made significant contributions to industrial
best practice in such industries. In terms of academic research, the knowledge
created in this thesis provides the basis for the application of CFD-DEM modelling
to understand complex multi-phase and multi-component systems. In particular,
the thesis advocates the application of the Free Surface Lattice Boltzmann Method
for creating highly accurate simulations of multi-phase flow. In addition, the thesis
offers opportunities for further research in novel plasma micro-reactors and their
applications in diverse fields such as chemical synthesis, chemical engineering and
biotechnology. The nature of the research is multi-disciplinary, and involved
investigations across several fields including applied mathematics, biochemistry,
chemistry, physics, and engineering. The projects also involved scale up from
laboratory, pilot plant and full commercial scale production trials. Primary
objectives were investigated through a series of six published patents. The three
patents relating to the development of novel leather and textile processes were
solely conceived and executed by the author. The patent related to the
development of the plasma micro-reactor for ozone synthesis was conceived and
executed jointly by the author and Professor Will Zimmerman (Sheffield University).
The two patents related to the development of a novel metal cleaning and
treatment process was conceived and executed jointly by the author and Dr.

Protect Against Phishing Scams
No full textAbstract: Phishing is an act of luring unsuspecting recipient of a message into revealing information which can be used against the recipient. Email is the most common medium of creating a Phishing attack against individuals and organizations. Phishing is a type of social engineering attempt, usually via emails, designed to trick the recipient. These attacks often result in malicious software getting deployed, steal user data including credentials or financial data, and victimize the entire infrastructure for ransom etc. First step in preventing this attack is to identify what a Phishing attempt is, to report it, and take similar actions for others. The golden rule of prevention is when you are in doubt, do not open that email, download its attachments or click on any hyperlinks inside.
Keywords: Phishing, Spam, Email, Malware, Social Engineering.

Exploring Value Change in Sustainable Energy Systems: An Agent-Based Exploratory Modelling Approach to Study the Change in Importance of Values
No full textThe climate change around the globe driven by Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) is fueling the growth of Sustainable Energy Systems (SES) at a faster pace. However, the lack of acceptance of these systems by society has stifled its successful deployment. Societal values play a key role in evaluating the social acceptance and the broader consequences of SES. However, there exists a complexity of change in the values of people. Alternatively known as value change, although SES may embody values permanently during its design, the values that people hold important may change during the lifetime of SES. Value change may often be driven by various exogenous factors as well as due to the complex, emergent, and dynamic characteristics of SES. Consequently, this has led to high uncertainty in the future acceptance of SES. Exploring the uncertain scenarios of value change is crucial for social acceptance of SES as it can facilitate better consideration of values in evaluating social acceptance of SES, ultimately contributing to the future acceptability of SES by society. However, current approaches to explore value change in ethics of technology literature are scarce. Few have proposed to explore value change, but lack in dealing with value change after it has occurred, or they consider values in a static manner. Alternatively, simulation models show better prospects in exploring complex societal dynamics of which a human mind cannot picture. Simulation models such as Agent-Based Models are seen as a suitable solution to capture the underlying mechanisms that drive the value change considering the complex and dynamic characteristics of SES. The objective of this research is to gain an understanding of the mechanisms that drive the value change in SES, by formulating a modelling approach that integrates agent heterogeneity, common pool resource & dynamic behavior, transformative experience & bounded rationality, and social interaction, to explore value change under various policy and uncertainty scenarios of SES. To this end, this study combined Agent-Based Modelling and Exploratory Modelling approaches to explore the change in importance of values in SES.Engineering and Policy Analysi
