THE effects of ageing on driving related performance
No full textAccording to one estimate, about 40 percent of the driving population will be over the age of 60by the year 2020 in the UK and currently, several hundred thousand drivers with dementia holddriving licenses. The number of motor vehicle crashes per unit distance of automobile travel is“U”-shaped, with risk increasing slightly between the ages of 55 and 60, but risk increasing witheach successive five-year interval. Some individuals who have mild dementia possess sufficientdriving skills to be designated as fit drivers. The most challenging assessment and decision for thephysician/licensing authority as regards fitness to drive lies in drivers who are questionablydemented or are in a state of very mild dementia.In the absence of a reliable standard protocol, some clinicians make judgment based on selfreporting,which has risks associated with it as lack of insight and judgment are potential commontraits of the population experiencing cognitive decline. Seldom is recourse made by healthprofessionals to on-road assessment as a first alternative as it requires a fee and such testingcenters are not readily available everywhere. This research addresses this issue of theidentification of cognitive tests that can be used to assess an individual’s ability to drive andespecially of those individuals that are questionably demented and are the most difficult toidentify. A younger and an older group consisting of 56 drivers in total were administered ninedifferent cognitive tests and two drives (Drive-I and Drive-II) on the STISIM driving simulator.The cognitive test ufov3 (involving the identification of a central target and simultaneously theradial localization of a peripheral target embedded in distracter triangles), which is the thirdsubtest of the UFOV (Useful Field of View) test showed the highest discriminating ability inseparating “poor-drivers” from “not-poor-drivers”, with 92.86 % of the drivers correctlyclassified. The next best discriminating ability in decreasing order of strength was that of dichoticlistening test, trail making test, rey-copy test and paper folding test. Also, age was found to be anexcellent discriminator of “poor-drivers” and “not-poor-drivers” with 91.07 % of the driverscorrectly classified. A composite cognitive measure consisting of the sum of all nine cognitivetests was not a better predictor than the ufov3 test alone; overall it was still an excellentdiscriminator, classifying 89.29 % of drivers correctly. The commonly recommended ClockDrawing test and the Trail Making test did not emerge as significant predictors of driving ability.A general driving skills linear model for prediction purposes was derived that explained 59 % ofthe variation in a general driving performance index with the ufov3 test, the dichotic listening testand the rey-recall test as significant predictors. Recommendations are made as to how this testshould be used to screen potentially at risk drivers

INVESTIGATING SEMANTIC DEVIATION IN TARIQ RAHMAN’S “DEAF, DARK, WALLS”
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the semantic deviation in terms of hidden meanings in the short story “Deaf, Dark, Walls” written by Tariq Rahman by applying the semantic deviation level of the theory of foregrounding. This research is qualitative in nature. By applying semantic deviation to the short story, different themes such as asking questions from the rulers, disintegration in ideas, hope, status, freedom to express one’s thoughts, and so on in Pakistani society. Therefore, with the usage of stylistic features, this study explores the harsh reality of Pakistani society. Moreover, the Text World Theory is recommended to be applied to the short story of Tariq Rahman's “Deaf, Dark, Walls” as well as other short stories
AN INVESTIGATION OF NARRATIVE DISCOURSE OF TARIQ REHMAN’S SHORT STORY BINGO
Get PDFThe research endeavours to explore the various aspects of structural narratology in the short story of Tariq Rehman. It also explores how the structures in a text contributes to achieve reality. Gerard Genette’s Narrative Discourse Model provides theoretical framework in which textual references from the primary source of data have been analysed. The research has been conducted by qualitative method as it does not involve any numerical value. The researcher has chosen one short story “Bingo” by Tariq Rehman. This story depicts the political ideas of the separation of East Pakistan (Bangladesh) in 1971. The analysis has focused the narrative instance, narrative time, frequency and narrative levels. The present research concludes that narrator is depicting his message to the readers through the structure of short story
A STUDY OF CODE-SWITCHING IN TARIQ RAHMAN’S “DEAF, DARK, WALLS” THROUGH FOREGROUNDING
Get PDFThis study aims to explore and analyze the hidden meanings that are suggested by the stylistic choices that are used as code-switching in the short story “Deaf, Dark, Walls” by Tariq Rahman. This research is conducted qualitatively. The code-switched words implied various societal issues and themes, particularly in the context of Pakistan. The study concluded that the code-switched words in the short story “Deaf, Dark, Walls” by Tariq Rahman suggested different meanings that depicted Pakistani society and its various aspects, such as giving priority to money, invocation to God, unity, protection, human aggressive nature, stubbornness, interference in the affairs of other people, going against the traditions, and father as the responsible person of the house. Moreover, other levels of the theory of foregrounding are recommended to be applied to the short story of Tariq Rahman's “Deaf, Dark, Walls.
علامہ اقبال اور تجدیدِ تصوف: تحقیقی و تنقیدی جائزہ: Allama Iqbal and Renewal of Sufism: Research and Critical Review
No full textThis study investigates the contemporary interpretation and application of Sufism in the East, focusing on Iqbal's Sufi ideals. Beyond analyzing Iqbal's own works, it explores broader Sufi literature. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, a staunch advocate for restoring Islamic Sufism to its authentic form, criticized elements diverging from its original principles. Emphasizing the transformation of the human ego, he advocated for the cultivation of divine attributes over ego erasure. Using a mixed methodology, the research concludes that traditional Sufism is responsible for the decline of Muslims, positioning Iqbal as a key figure in the revival of a Sufism that inspires proactive engagement
Beberapa Isu Haraki di dalam Karya-karya Hadis Sayyid Muhammad Nuh
Get PDFSayyid Muhammad Nuh is a prominent ‘haraki’ figure and has produced a number of works in the field of hadith studies. He has been involved in the dakwa movement of the Muslim Brotherhood which influenced his approach in the production of his works, in terms of the ‘haraki manhaj’ and methods. Almost all the works of Sayyid Muhammad Nuh emphasized issues of dakwa and tarbiyah, whether in the field of tafsir, hadith, history and issues of the Muslims’ society. Moreover, the issues that he highlighted were practical and the application of ‘haraki’ approach in production of writings brought about significant lesson to the dakwa movement, including the ones in the field of hadith. The author presents three of his works in the field of hadith which have been among the most referred and widely read in the dakwa circle, including the dakwa movement in Malaysia. His selected works in the field of hadith are ‘Tawjihat of the Prophet `ala al-Tariq’ (Hadiths of Guidance on the Dakwa Path), ‘Manhaj al -Rasul fi Ghars Ruh al-Jihad fi Nufus Ashabih’ (The Messenger’s Approach in Inspiring Spirit of al-Jihad in the Companions), and ‘Min Akhlaq al-Nasr fi Jiyl al-Sahabah’ (Winning Attitudes in the Generation of the Companions). Through this article, the authors highlights a number of ‘haraki’ issues based on the works of Sayyid Muhammad Nuh and the important lessons that he has highlighted for the people of dakwa in facing the dakwa path, based on the hadith of the Messenger
