Liquid racism and the Danish Prophet Muhammad cartoons
Full text linkThis is the author's accepted manuscript. The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2010 The Author.This article examines reactions to the October 2005 publication of the Prophet Muhammad cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. It does so by using the concept of ‘liquid racism’. While the controversy arose because it is considered blasphemous by many Muslims to create images of the Prophet Muhammad, the article argues that the meaning of the cartoons is multidimensional, that their analysis is significantly more complex than most commentators acknowledge, and that this complexity can best be addressed via the concept of liquid racism. The article examines the liquidity of the cartoons in relation to four readings. These see the cartoons as: (1) a criticism of Islamic fundamentalism; (2) blasphemous images; (3) Islamophobic and racist; and (4) satire and a defence of freedom of speech. Finally, the relationship between postmodernity and the rise of fundamentalism is discussed because the cartoons, reactions to them, and Islamic fundamentalism, all contain an important postmodern dimension.ESR

The Danish Muhammad Cartoon Conflict
No full textThe “Muhammad crisis,” the “Muhammad Cartoon Crisis,” or “The Jyllands-Posten Crisis” are three different headings used for the global, violent reactions that broke out in early 2006. The cartoon crisis was triggered by the publication of 12 cartoons in the largest Danish daily newspaper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten on 30 September 2005 and the Danish governments refusal to meet with 11 concerned ambassadors. However, Jyllands-Posten’s record on covering Islam; the ever growing restrictive identity politics and migration policies and the popular association of Islam with terrorism made it predictable that something drastic would eventually happen, although neither the form of the counter-reaction or the stubborn anti-Islamic forces were unknown. This collection of chapters seeks to fill out some of the most glaring holes in the media coverage and academic treatment of the Muhammad cartoon story. It will do so by situating the conflict more firmly in its proper socio-historical context by drawing on the author’s basic research on the Danish news media’s coverage of ethnic and religious minorities since the mid 1990s. The author uses thick contextualization to analyze this very current theme in IMER studies, which has consequences for most immigrants of non-Western countries to the Nordic countries

Automated air ventilation / Muhammad Danish Hakim Zaharun
No full textThe weather at this time is getting hotter by the day. Poor quality air flow will cause various diseases that harm our health. Therefore, automated air ventilation was created to improve air flow in closed places so that good air flow can enter and can remove poor quality air from automated air ventilation. The objective emphasized in the project is that I can design automated air ventilation by using suitable materials such as motors, sensors, aluminum profiles and so on. In addition, I will also analyze the quantity and critical parts that are in the automated air ventilation. Aluminum profile is cut into pieces arranged according to the size that fits the closed room. The motor and sensor are also installed on automated air ventilation to make it easier for users. I expect that the automated air ventilation can work well and provide benefits to user

Adsorption of Brilliant Green dye from aqueous solution onto red clay
No full textThis study was aimed at the adsorption of Brilliant Green (SG) dye on naturally existing red clay (RC) through batch adsorption experiment. Adsorbent characterization showed Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area 100.28 m(2)/g, pore volume 0.88 cm(3)/g, and pore diameter 148.2 angstrom. Batch studies were carried out to investigate the effect of experimental factors such as pH (2-10), particle size (58-150 mu m), adsorbent dose (0.3-1.5 g/L), contact time (5-1500 min), initial dye concentration (20-100 mg/L), and temperature (25-65 degrees C) on the adsorption of BG dye. Langmuir (R-2 = 0.993), Freundlich (R-2 = 0.997), Hansley (R-2 = 0.997) and Redlich-Peterson (R-2 = 0.999) isotherms were fitted to describe the equilibrium of BG adsorption process. Isothermal models showed that BG adsorption was a favorable process on RC. Adsorption kinetics were well fitted by Pseudo-second order kinetic model (R-2 = 0.999). Thermodynamic study revealed that BG adsorption on RC was spontaneous, favorable and physiosorptive. The maximum adsorption capacity of RC was found to be 125 mg/g. These results showed that BG dye can be effectively removed from aqueous solution employing RC as a cheap adsorbent. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Case study of Philips / Muhammad Danish Ghazi Mohd Fakrurazi
Full text linkThe goal of this assignment is to identify the problem of a product. The company that I have chosen is Philips. From their vast selection of products, I have chosen the ADR620 dashcam for the analysis. In this case study, I have done the SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the ADR620. The primary issue that I have discovered with this ADR620 is that it has difficulties in navigating the application interface, unlike other Philips’ products such as their television, coffee machine, rice cooker, and many more. Based on the problem, the best solution that has been proposed is adding a touch screen feature to the ADR620 dashcam
