The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century. Fans of Muhammad Ali, boxing fans, and those interested in modern African American history and the Nation of Islam will be fascinated by this biography by an accomplished American author.Intro -- DEDICATION -- INTRODUCTION -- The Curious History of an Icon -- CHAPTER 1 -- CHAPTER 2 -- CHAPTER 3 -- CHAPTER 4 -- CHAPTER 5 -- CHAPTER 6 -- CHAPTER 7 -- Did the Secret Government Fear a U.S. Muslim/Overseas Muslim Alliance? -- CHAPTER 8 -- CHAPTER 9 -- The Break Between the Prophet and his Disciple -- CHAPTER 10 -- CHAPTER 11 -- CHAPTER 12 -- The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time): Ali or Louis? -- CHAPTER 13 -- The Nation of Islam, the Mob, Showdowns in Canada and Sonny Liston -- CHAPTER 14 -- CHAPTER 15 -- The Taunts: Marketing or Racism? -- CHAPTER 16 -- CHAPTER 17 -- CHAPTER 18 -- CHAPTER 19 -- Boxing and the Brain -- CHAPTER 20 -- Ali's Feet -- CHAPTER 21 -- Mr. Dick -- CHAPTER 22 -- CHAPTER 23 -- The Opening Ceremonies, November 2005 -- CHAPTER 24 -- December 2005, Las Vegas -- CHAPTER 25 -- CHAPTER 26 -- June 16, 2004 -- CHAPTER 27 -- CHAPTER 28 -- CHAPTER 29 -- Aix-en-Provence -- CHAPTER 30 -- Ali as a Black Nationalist -- San Francisco, January 2004 Black Liberation Book Fair -- CHAPTER 31 -- January 31, 2004 -- CHAPTER 32 -- October 2005, Chicago -- CHAPTER 33 -- Why Ali remained with Elijah instead of following Malcolm -- CHAPTER 34 -- CHAPTER 35 -- February 4, 2006, Oakland, California -- CHAPTER 36 -- Like Zeus Descending from Mount Olympus -- CHAPTER 37 -- CHAPTER 38 -- Tuesday, February 28, 2006, New York -- CHAPTER 39 -- Bigger Than Boxing -- CHAPTER 40 -- Tribes Gallery, New York, April 2006 -- CHAPTER 41 -- June 2006, Louisville, Kentucky -- CHAPTER 42 -- CHAPTER 43 -- CHAPTER 45 -- Bad Company -- CHAPTER 46 -- Coxson, A Very Charming Rogue -- CHAPTER 47 -- Ali and the largest embezzlement scheme in Wells Fargo history -- CHAPTER 48 -- CHAPTER 49 -- "Lonnie is a stabilizing force."-Harry Belafonte -- October 29, 2006 -- CHAPTER 50 -- Abdul Rahman -- CHAPTER 51 -- CHAPTER 52 -- CHAPTER 53How Will Ali Be Remembered?

Muhammad Ali Aziz, Religion and Mysticism in Early Islam: Theology and Sufism in Yemen, the Legacy of Ahmad Ibn Alwan
No full textCet ouvrage se propose de retracer le développement de la mystique musulmane au Yémen. Pour ce faire, Muhammad Ali Aziz a choisi de sʼappuyer très largement sur lʼune des figures parmi les plus populaires et les plus saintes du Yémen contemporain : le cheikh soufi Aḥmad Ibn ʻAlwān (600–665/1203–1266).Sʼil sʼagit pour M. Aziz de replacer lʼhéritage dʼIbn ʻAlwān dans « le plus large contexte historique, politique et social de son époque » (p. 2), il souhaite éga..
X-ray image analysis for dental disease: A deep learning approach using EfficientNets
No full textDental cavities are a highly common persistent dental problem that impacts populations across different age groups on a global scale. It is crucial to get a dental issue diagnosed as early as possible and with as much accuracy as possible to treat it efficiently and prevent any related issues. If a dental infection is not treated, it will eventually grow and cause tooth loss. Dental X-ray images are crucial and beneficial in the diagnostic process of dental diseases for dentists. By applying Deep Learning (DL) techniques to dental X-ray images, dental experts can efficiently and precisely etect dental conditions, including dental cavities, fillings and implants. The objective of this research is to assess the performance of DL-based methods for dental disease detection via panoramic radiographs. In this study, we evaluated the performance of all of the EfficientNet variants (e.g., EfficientNets B0-B7) to determine which one is the most effective model for detecting dental disease. Moreover, we utilized the Borderline Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) to cope with the issue related to the minority classes contained in the dataset. To assess the efficacy of the model, various metrics are employed, including recall, accuracy, precision, loss, and F1-score. As a result, the performance of the EfficientNet-B5 model was superior to that of the other EfficientNet models. The EfficientNet-B5 model achieved the following values for its metrics: F1-score, accuracy, recall, AUC, and precision: 98.37%, 98.32%, 98.32%, 99.21%, and 98.32%, respectively. The accuracy rates for the EfficientNet-B0, EfficientNet-B1, EfficientNet-B2, EfficientNet-B3, EfficientNet-B4, EfficientNet-B6, and EfficientNet-B7, are 91.59%, 94.12%, 93.28%, 85.71%, 94.96%, 96.64% and 90.76%, respectively. The results indicated that the EfficientNet-B5 model performs better than other EfficientNet classifiers, which supports dental professionals significantly in the recognition of dental diseases
FARḌU IN THE BOOK OF ṢAFWAH AL-TAFĀSĪR BY MUHAMMAD ‘ALI AL-ṢĀBŪNĪ: Farḍu dalam Kitab Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr karya Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī
No full textThis study presents the formulation of the problem, namely: First, What is the Nature of Farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī? Second, What is the Existence of farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī? This type of research is qualitative by using descriptive analysis method. The author specifically uses a tafsir approach that is directly related to the Book of Tafsir Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī. Data were obtained through library research. The results of this study indicate that: first, the nature of farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī first of all the word فرض means “to establish”, “to determine”, “to oblige” or “to require something firmly”, and its derivations are found in QS al-Baqarah/2:197, al-Qaṣaṣ/28:85, al-Aḥzāb/33:38, al-Tahrīm/66:2, al-Nūr/24:1, al-Baqarah/2:236-237, al-Nisā’/4:11, al-Nisā’/4:24, al-Taubah/9:60, al-Nisā’/4:7, al-Nisa/4:118, and al-Baqarah/2:68. Second, the existence of farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī is first seen from the diversity of meanings, the context of other farḍu in terms of worship obligations and obligations in Muamalah or Social. The implication of this research can be narrated that the substance of Farḍu is the balance of religious obligations and their application in daily life
