    No full text
    When a general history is written about the beginnings of the Mughal empire, the reign of Nasir ud Din Muhammad Humayun is usually neglected. In fact, his rule proves to be an enigma --- was he a success or a failure? Many scholars argue that he was an utter failure and the only merit they see in him was the fortuitous siring Jalal ud Din Muhammad Akbar, the greatest of all Muahal emperors. This, however, is an unfair assessment. Not only was Humayun a kind and generous man, but he was also important because he developd stronger Indo-Persian contacts and reestablished the empire from which Akbar began his career.This paper provides a general historyNasir ud Din Muhammad Humayun and his role in the development of the Mughal empire during the sixteenth century. Along with the general history is provided a discussion of several aspects of Humayun’s life. This includes his relationship to those around him. his religious beliefs, leadership abilities. and personal character. Also examined is the role which fate played in Humayun's life.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    STATUS HUKUM PEMBERIAN ZAKAT BAGI IBNU SABIL YANG KAYA DI TEMPAT ASAL (Studi Komparatif Antara Imam Kamal Al-Din Muhammad 861 M dan Imam Nawawi 1277 M)

    ABSTRAK Perbincangan mengenai Ibnu Sabil merupakan antara salah satu topik yang sentiasa di suarakan atau dipertanyakan di masa lalu, sekarang dan mungkin akan terus disuarakan atau dipertanyakan pada masa yang akan datang oleh mereka yang sampai saat ini masih tertanyatanya mengenai status zakat bagi Ibnu Sabil yang kaya di tempat asal. Perbincangan ini terkait dua hal yaitu Ibnu Sabil dan kaya. Di dalam hal ini, terdapat dua pihak yang berlainan pendapat, di antaranya adalah Imam Kamal Al-Din Muhammad yang bermazhab Hanafi dan Imam Nawawi yang bermazhab Syafi’i. Imam Kamal Al-Din Muhammad mengatakan bahwa sekiranya Ibnu Sabil yang kaya itu menjumpai orang yang sanggup mengutanginya, maka lebih utama untuk memberi pinjam kepada Ibnu Sabil tersebut. Karena Imam Kamal Al-Din Muhammad mengambil pendapat mengenai Ibnu Sabil yang kaya daripada Imam Hanafi, yaitu Ibnu Sabil mempunyai dua jenis, yang pertama Ibnu Faqir dan Ibnu Ghaniy. Jadi, pemahaman Ibnu Ghaniy ini adalah orang yang wajib zakat pada hartanya, tetapi disebabkan hal semasa dan keadaan pada ketika itu, tidak mampu akan Ibnu Sabil itu terhadap hartanya. Beliau mendasarkan pandangannya pada hadits nabi mengutus Mu’az pergi ke Yaman tentang mewajibkan zakat pada orang kaya. Sedangkan Imam Nawawi berpendapat bahwa orang yang bergelar Ibnu Sabil tetap berhak menerima zakat maupun kaya atau miskin, kerana Ibnu Sabil merupakan antara delapan golongan yang berhak menerima zakat. Imam Nawawi meletakkan satu syarat yaitu Ibnu Sabil itu bukanlah di dalam perjalanan yang maksiat. Beliau mendasarkan pendapat beliau melalui hadits nabi dari Ibnu Abbas tentang nabi menyuruh untuk memberi seekor unta untuk berhaji walaupun dia merupakan dari keluarga yang berharta. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pendapat kedua tokoh di atas tentang status hukum pemberian zakat bagi Ibnu Sabil yang kaya di tempat asal. Serta mengetahui perbedaan dan titik temu antara kedua tokoh tersebut yaitu Imam Kamal Al-Din Muhammad dan Imam nawawi yang dapat di guna pakai dan relevansinya dengan kondisi di saat ini. Perbedaan pendapat mengenai status hukum pemberian zakat bagi Ibnu Sabil yang kaya antara Imam Kamal Al-Din dan Imam Nawawi, keduanya mempunyai pandangan masing-masing dan keduanya menggunakan dari hadits nabi. Imam Kamal Al-Din berpendapat bahwa Ibnu Sabil yang kaya lebih untuk memberi pinjam kepadanya kerana wajib zakat pada hartanya. Manakala Imam Nawawi berpendapat bahwa Ibnu Sabil berhak menerima zakat maupun kaya atau miskin

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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 link
    We 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
