TibbOnto: Knowledge Representation of Prophet Medicine (Tibb Al-Nabawi)
No full textAbstractThe Quran and Hadith are the two fundamental sources of Islamic legislation. Hadith are narrations passed from Prophet companions regarding the words and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Hadith books contain topics related to all aspects of Muslim life. In this paper, we build a domain-specific ontology (Tibb Al-Nabawi ontology) to present the Prophet's medicine in a semantic ontological representation. Our source of knowledge is based on an authentic Tibb Al-Nabawi Hadith. We have identified the main classes and the relationship among them. The proposed ontology can be extended in the future to automatically generate treatments for specific diseases according to the Prophet's actions
Astrology in literature: how the prohibited became permissible in the Arabic poetry of the mediaeval period
No full textThis thesis is concerned to position the art of astrology within the context of classical Arabic poetry, primarily by investigating and elucidating attitudes to the notion of
qadar (fate) and the ideology in which it was embedded. These attitudes were revelatory of the broader world view of the Arabs of those periods, and their shifts from those held in the pre-Islamic and early Islamic eras tell us a good deal about the importance given to the nature and role of fate and about the various understandings of its influence. The pre-Islamic Arab's notion of qadar was in some ways similar to that of the early Muslims: both emphasised predetermination and the irresistible power of fate. But while the jahilf (Pre-Islamic) Arabs identified fate with the malign power of dahr (Time), the Muslims believed the power of fate lies in the hands of God the
Omnipotent, who alone is responsible for the fate of the whole universe. Thus the astrology of the pre-Islamic era was one aspect of divination (kihana) and claimed to be
able to reveal in advance an individual's destiny, which could be avoided by taking certain precautions. These precautions, however, were considered effective only in
relatively trivial cases; they were useless in the areas of major impact: a person's happiness or misery (shaqiiwa aw sa ada), sustenance (rizq) and one's term (ajal), the
three inevitable and irresistible manifestations of fate. In the Islamic period not only these major aspects of life are governed and controlled by the Omnipotent; the destiny
of the universe, in even its most minute details, is determined and controlled by God alone. Astrology was considered to be of no value whatsoever, and its practitioners were subject to the death penalty. These two irreconcilable views are evident in early Islamic poetry, which reflected clearly the response of poets, and society, to astrology from the perspective of qadar.
When the orthodox caliphate was replaced by dynastic rule the status of astrology was changed dramatically. The idea that the stars, as indicators, play a role in the life of
human beings found popowerful supporters in some governors of the Islamic world, who allowed astrology to fulfil a public function regardless of the hostility of the official
religion of that society. This social phenomenon generated rich material of a controversial character in the realm of literature. Investigating the factors, motivations
and impact of mediaeval political, theological and philosophical attitudes to astrology, in relation to the notions of free will and predestination, is the concern of this study

“Nilai-nilai Bawah Tanah:” Tinjauan Antropologis Tentang Anarkisme Dalam Paradigma Cultural Studies di Kalangan Anak Muda Kota Makassar
No full textThe anarchist punk subculture started with a spirit of resistance, but unfortunately the popular culture that absorbed this subculture has caused it to lose its resistance essence. Despite its spirit, the subculture has been integrated into the very system it previously resisted. This article focuses on the ways in which young people in Makassar City consume "underground values" and their anarchic forms of expression in adopting these values through creativity, especially in the form of music. This research uses Critical Ethnography as a cultural research approach that uses a critical paradigm, which criticizes and offers solutions to cultural injustice, marginalization, exploitation, and subordination. The Cultural Studies paradigm highlights conflicts, interests, and power in culture. The informants in this article are young people who join a group that consumes "underground values" on a daily basis. The data collection techniques used in this research are through interviews and participatory observation used in the context of qualitative research because it allows researchers to directly observe the actions, attitudes, and atmosphere that exist. The informants in this study were determined by purposive sampling with reference to the following criteria: Young people who join subcultures that consume “subteterranean value” and express them in their daily lives.
The results show that political norms and culture influence individual experiences, even encouraging adaptation to expectations that may conflict with personal desires. The transformation of subcultures and "underground values" that originally focused on resistance to the dominant culture, but later integrated into the structure of the dominant culture. The influence of the dominant culture creates alienation and inequality, limiting the freedom of individuals to shape their identity. "Underground values" are a form of alternative and counterculture to the dominant culture, reflecting strong values of collectivism and anti-hierarchy. Despite the transformation, the essence of underground values continues to criticize capitalism and conventional norms in society. This subculture continues to offer a space for expression, despite the pressures and changes that occur over time

Exploring the genetic differences between primary and metastatic prostate cancer using bioinformatic approaches: a preliminary study / Faris Aizat Ahmad Fajri ... [et al.]
No full textScreening of prostate cancer (PCa) by measuring prostate cancer antigen has proven beneficial in reducing the mortality and progression of prostate cancer. However, its level can be affected if patients are taking certain drugs and/or suffering from certain medical conditions, causing a false negative. This can lead to PCa being undetected, where when untreated can lead to metastatic prostate cancer (MPC). Hence, in this study, genetic differences between PCa and MPC were explored using bioinformatics approaches to predict potential biomarkers for MPC. The study was divided into two parts, where the first involves feature selection and principal component analysis to differentiate PCa and MPC based on mRNA gene expression. Additionally, top 20 mutated genes for MPC were determined using odds ratio (OR). In the second phase, a predictive model was built using outcome of the mRNA gene expression analysis. The results showed that the mRNA expression of 26 identified genes could differentiate between PCa and MPC. This was further corroborated by the predictive model, where a sensitivity and specificity of 0.616 and 0.017 respectively was achieved. While importance is placed on sensitivity over specificity, further improvements involving more data need to be made to increase the specificity rate. Additionally, genes such as PAG24, BOP1 and GRWD1 should be investigated further as both potential biomarkers as well as potential pathways in MPC progression, based on further protein-protein interaction analysis. OR and protein-protein interaction suggests that androgen signalling pathway may crosstalk with NFκB signalling and breast cancer pathway. This preliminary study shows that bioinformatics approaches could aid in understanding MPC, which could lead to the discovery of novel targeted therapy and potential biomarkers

No full textForests are ecosystems containing biological resources, primarily dominated by trees, that are interconnected and inseparable from their environment. Communities hold both the rights and responsibilities for forest management, as their livelihoods heavily depend on forests. One example of an indigenous community that continues to uphold traditional forest management based on local wisdom is the Dayak Wehea Indigenous People in Nehas Liah Bing Village, Muara Wahau District, East Kutai Regency. This study aims to explore the role and efforts of the Dayak Wehea community in preserving forest sustainability. The research employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the Wehea Indigenous People have successfully preserved their forests through cultural values and local wisdom, despite facing various challenges such as economic pressures, limited external support, and low youth participation. This success demonstrates that environmental conservation relies not only on technology and government regulations but also on the empowerment of local communities, respect for ancestral values, and a strong spirit of mutual cooperation

To the Question of the Use of the Ethnic Term“Tatars” in Arab Historical Literature »
No full textReconstruction of the ethnogenesis of the peoples inhabited the Golden Horde is one of the issues being studied intensively in modern historical scholarship. Medieval Arab sources play an important role in studying the history of the peoples of the Golden Horde. Study of contemporary Arab authors’ historical researches where medieval Arab chronicles are analyzed in greater detail, is necessary to understand their importance.
Objective: study of the Arab historical literature regarding the issue of the use of the ethnic term “Tatars”.
Some contemporary Arab historical researches are used as materials for this research. For example, Muhammad Sahil Takkush calls the Golden Horde – “Magul-Kypchak”, and Iran – “Magul-Faris” in his book “History of the Mamluks in Egypt and Syria”. Qasim Abdel Qasim, the author of the book “Era of the Mamluk Sultans”, calls the Golden Horde “bilad al-kypchak”. In his work “The Mamluks”, Shaydiyaz al-Garini calls Berke the “khan of the Golden Horde tribe” and the Golden Horde inhabitants – “at-tatar al-kypchak”, i.e. the “Kypchak Tatars”. Of particular interest is the book of Egyptian historian Muhammad Abdelgani al-Ashqar “Salar – the Tatar Muslim Emir (Naib of the Mamluk Sultan in Egypt, 1260–1310)”. It describes the reign of Sultan al-Malik an-Nasir Muhammad who was in close friendly relations with the Golden Horde khan Uzbek. It is known that the Golden Horde Muslims prayed for Sultan al-Malik al-Nasir mentioning his name after khan Uzbek. Long-term friendship between the Golden Horde and Egypt eventually led to the conclusion of a dynastic marriage between Egyptian Sultan an-Nasir and the Golden Horde princess Tulunbay.
As a result, the study of the use of the ethnic term “Tatars” in Arab historical literature remains relevant and requires a review of some of the preconceived ideas about the ethnic history of the Tatar people in the Arab world in favor of the in-depth study of this problem
الجاسوس علی القاموس (دراسۃ نقدیۃ تحلیلیۃ)
No full textLexical criticism is a crucial area of literary criticism, prominently represented by Al-Qamus Al-Muhit, which critiques Al-Jawhari's Al-Sihah. The author, Ahmad Faris Al-Shidyaq, emphasized lexical criticism throughout his dictionary, making it a significant reference in this field. The movement began in the early 10th century AH with scholars like Al-Suyuti and evolved in the 11th century with figures such as Baha' Al-Din Al-Amili. By the 14th century, it peaked under Al-Shidyaq and Ahmad Taymour, who both engaged critically with Al-Qamus Al-Muhit. Al-Shidyaq's work Al-Jasous 'ala Al-Qamus, features a preface and twenty-four critiques addressing phrases, structure, meanings, and word derivation in the dictionary. Although he memorized and utilized Al-Qamus Al-Muhit during his travels, he did not hesitate to critique it. His analyses reveal a mix of valid points and criticisms that may stem from textual corruption or his critical approach, highlighting the complexities of lexical criticism in Arabic literature
