No full textOrganized by Islamic Science University of Malaysia (USIM) & Islamic International University of Malaysia (UIAM) in collaboration with Librarians Association of Malaysia (PPM) & Malaysia's Islamic Library Collection (KPIM), 25th - 27th November 2008 at Putra World Trade Center (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur. Link to publisher's homepage at http://www.usim.edu.my/There are hundreds rare manuscripts written in Arabic, Turkic, Farsi, Polish, Russian and Belorussian languages preserved in 21 public and private collections located in Poland. The largest collections of these mostly Muslim manuscripts are in the Wroclaw University Library ( the former German Breslau University in Lower Silesia), in the National Museum ( Czartoryski Department) at Cracow and in the National Library at Warsaw. Many Polish public and academic institutions purchased those rare documents of Islamic literature from mostly private booksellers, collectors and relatives of authors in both the East and the West. The fine tradition of gathering of Islamic art and books in Poland had been initiated by the Orientophiles of the 18th and the 19th century CE. The desire to know more about Islamic civilization was inspired by such Romantic explorers of “Orient” as famous Polish aristocrats as Czartoryski, Zamoyski, Dzialynski, Radziwill, Potocki, or Rzewuski. Definitely, the most ‘exotic’ manuscripts from the Polish collections are works (kitaby, hamaily, tafsiry ) written by Polish or Lithunian Muslims of Tatar origin. Author of this paper surveys also catalogues and collections of these Islamic manuscripts from the Czech and Slovakian archives. His paper is illustrated by copies of several Islamic MSS from author’s digitalized private files
The first Muslim politician of South Africa Ahmet Ataullah Bey, 1865-1903.
Full text linkAhmet Ataullah Bey was a South African intellectual and politician who
served the South African Muslims in the last quarter of nineteenth century.
Ataullah Bey played prominent role in South African history as the first
Muslim activist and politician in the country. His endeavours to participate in
political affairs at the Cape and be voted into parliament were of significant
importance, highlighting his challenges as a person of colour at the height of
white supremacy in South Africa. This paper attempts to illuminate in part the
challenges faced by Ataullah Bey during his life.
Ataullah Bey also served as a Turkish emissary for the Ottoman State under
the Caliphate during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid Khan II. His activities
provide insight into the policies of Abdul Hamid Khan II and show the social
conditions of the nineteenth century Muslim world. Ataullah Bey came from
a very established and well educated family and his ancestors were great Ulama
in the Ottoman State throughout history. This short biography deals with
Ataullah Bey’s educational and political activities from his childhood to his
death. It also illustrates his significant endeavours in South Africa as well as in
Singapore in light of the broader political and historical context. Details about
Ataullah Bey’s family are also presented in this paper. The text concludes
with Ataullah Bey’s unfortunate death in Singapore at the fairly young age of
thirty-nine
Greening the path to disruptive innovation: The roles of CEOs characteristics, green organizational identity, and green product competitiveness
Full text linkThis study explores the link between sustainability orientation and disruptive innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by embracing both the natural resource-based view (NRBV) and upper echelons theory. By drawing on these theories and extending them, it sheds light on the executives' characteristics and organizational contingencies leading to disruptive innovation. Starting from the CEOs' sustainability orientation, it investigates if and how it leads to disruptive innovation through the mediating role of green organizational identity and the moderating influence of both green product competitiveness and CEOs' gender-related characteristics. Two wave time-lagged survey data from 257 Chinese SMEs are analyzed to empirically test these relationships. Results suggest that SMEs with CEOs characterized by sustainability focus foster a green organizational identity, enabling them to generate disruptive innovations. Additionally, the presence of high green product competitiveness strengthens the connection between sustainability orientation and green organizational identity. Lastly, the relationship between this latter and disruptive innovation can be further enhanced by female CEOs by leveraging their specific skills and abilities. Implications for managers, organizations, and public policy are discussed
İbn Ataullah el-İskenderî'nin Allah'ın Varlığına Dair Kanıtlara Yönelik Eleştirisi
No full textÖnemli bir mutasavvıf müellif olan İbn Ataullah el-İskenderî'nin (ö.709/1309), Tanrı'nın varlığına dair kanıtlara yönelttiği eleştiri, tasavvuf disiplini açısından olduğu kadar, din felsefesi bakımından da dikkat çekicidir. Onun eleştirisinin temelleri marifet anlayışındadır. Ona göre Allah'ı tanımanın gerçek yolu müşahededir. Bu ise sufilerin yoludur. Bu yol dışında yer alan ve kelamcılara ve filozoflara ait kabul ettiği istidlal yolu ise nitelikçe müşahede yolunun gerisindedir. Müşahede yolu, delile ihtiyaç bırakmayan bir kesinlik taşır.İskenderî'nin Allah'ın varlığına dair kanıtları eleştirmesinin bir başka sebebini de onun hakiki ve gölge varlık ayrımında buluruz. Ona göre hakiki varlık Allah'tır ve gölge varlık ise Allah dışındakiler. Durum böyle olunca, gölge varlıkları hakiki varlığın var oluşuna delil ve dolayısıyla temel yapmak doğru değildir. Varlığı kanıtlanması gereken Tanrı değil, onun dışındakilerdir. İskenderî'nin kanıtlar karşısındaki bu pozisyonu fideist düşünürlerin kanıtlara bakışını hatırlatır. Ama aralarında bazı farklar vardır. Bunlardan en önemlisi de fideistlerin kanıtları eleştirilerinin epistemolojik sebeplere dayanması, bunun yanında İskenderî'nin eleştirisinin ontolojik temelde olmasıdır.The Critique of Ibn 'Ata Allah al-Iskandari Concerning the Proofs for the Existenceo of GodThe critique of Ibn 'Ata Allah al-Iskandari (d. 709/1309), as an important Sufi author, concerning the proofs of God's existence is quite remarkable not only from the point of Sufism but also from the point of philosophy of religion. His critique is based on his own notion of mystical knowledge (ma'rifah). For him, the true way to know God is witnessing (mushahadah), which is also the way of Sufis. The way of witnessing takes precedence over the way of reasoning (istidlal) which he accepted to be belonging to theologians (mutakallimun) and philosophers and which weaker than the way of witnessing. The way of witnessing has a certainty that reserves no room for proof.Another reason for al-Iskandari's critique of proofs concerning Divine Existence is to be found in his distinction between true being and the shadow being. According to him, the real being is God Himself, and the shadow being is the things other than Him. In this case, it is not appropriate to establish shadow beings as proofs and thus as basis for the existence of real being. As a matter of fact, it is not God whose existence must be proven, but the things other than him.The position of al-Iskandari in relation to the proofs reminds us the views of fidelist phylosophers about the proofs; however, there are some differences the most important of which is that the proofs of the fidelists depend on epistemological reasons, whereas al-Iskandari's critique depends on the ontological basis.https://www.marife.org/marife/article/view/670Atıf / Cite as: Özel, Ahmet Murat.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
