Scholarly and social services of Fatima Mernissi
No full textThe services rendered by the women in social and scientific development are undeniable. Women were equally involved in all walks of life. Throughout our history one of these women is Fatima Mernissi, who has served as a sociologist and feminist. The article under review has introduced Fatima Mernissi and her scholarly and social services, as well as the books written by Fatima Mernissi and the other translations of her books. The method for writing the article has introduced Fatima Mernissi and her family first and then Fatima\u27s academic and social services. The purpose of writing this article is to make Fatima Mernissi familiar in the West for which she was awarded various awards. The research revealed that Fatima Mernissi not only raised her voice for women’s rights in various forums but also wrote nineteen books in which she spoke in one way or another about women’s independence and freedom. It also became clear that Fatima Mernissi was a supporter of ideologies that were against Islam. Just as she was convinced that veiling is not a rule in Islam, she also declared polygamy illegal
induced quasielastic production of hyperons leading to pions
No full textThe quasielastic production cross sections and polarizations of the hyperons induced by on the free nucleon as well as from Ar in the sub-GeV energy region has been reviewed (Fatima et al., Front Phys 7:13, 2019; Fatima et al., Phys Rev D 98:033005, 2018; Akbar et al., Phys Rev D 94:114031, 2016; Fatima et al., Eur Phys J A 54:95, 2018; Akbar et al., Eur Phys J A 53:154, 2017). The effects of the second class currents in the axial vector sector with and without T-invariance as well as the effect of SU(3) symmetry breaking are also studied. We find that the cross sections and the various polarization components can effectively be used to determine the axial vector transition form factors in the strangeness sector and to test the validity of various symmetries of the weak hadronic currents like G-invariance, T-invariance and SU(3) symmetry. These hyperons decay dominantly into pions giving an additional contribution to the weak pion production induced by the antineutrinos. In the case of nuclear targets like Ar, this contribution is shown to be significant when compared with the pion production by the excitations in the energy range of GeV (Fatima et al., Front Phys 7:13, 2019). This study could be useful for the DUNE experiment where argon will be used as the target material and the electronic imaging of particles is possible and the particle tracks can be identified

Akbar II as Pretender: A Study in Anarchy
No full textAkbar Shāh, son of the Mughal emperor Shāh 'Ālam II, was elevated to the throne of Delhi as pretender eighteen years previous to his accession as Akbar II, and money was struck in his name. The addition of another claimant to the dynastic list was communicated in a joint paper by Mr. S. H. Hodivala and myself, which appeared in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for the year 1922, and to which I invite reference. I had found a copper coin of Aḥmadābād mint bearing the name of Akbar Shāh and date A.H. 1203, which made me conjecture whether Ghulām Qādir Khān, the “unspeakable Rohilla”, raised another prince to the Mughal throne after the puppet Bedār Bakht (A.H. 1202–3), who might or might not be identical with the Akbar Shāh, eldest surviving son of Shāh 'Ālam II, who succeeded his father in the regular way as Akbar II in the year A.H.. 1221 (A.D. 1806). I put the matter to Mr. Hodivala, a leading authority on Mughal history, and his reply was that “it has not yet been possible to find an absolutely complete and satisfactory solution of the problem connected with the Akbar Shāh coins of A.H. 1203, but there would seem to be fairly good grounds for answering the question in the affirmative”. The fullest account of the transactions which led to the deposition and blinding of Shāh 'Ālam II is in the 'Ibratnāmah (Book of Warning) of Faqīr Khairu-d-dīn Muḥammad, but this work closes soon after recounting the terrible cruelties practised on the Emperor Shāh 'Ālam and his family by the infamous Ghulām Qādir, whose atrocities the author describes at length.</jats:p
Akbar entre mundos : uma análise, leitura crítica e tradução da obra poética de Kaveh Akbar
No full textOrientador: Prof. Dr. Caetano Waldrigues GalindoDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa : Curitiba, 27/02/2025Inclui referênciasÁrea de concentração: Estudos LiteráriosResumo: Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo comentar criticamente a produção poética do escritor contemporâneo americano-iraniano Kaveh Akbar, autor de dois livros de poemas: Calling a Wolf a Wolf (2017) e Pilgrim Bell (2021). Akbar nasceu na cidade de Teerã, no Irã, em 1989 e na infância mudou para os Estados Unidos, onde vive até hoje. Neste trabalho, articulo a sua biografia de deslocamento com a sua produção literária, dentro dos limites da autoficção. Ademais, proponho uma análise aprofundada de como os temas, estipulados aqui como centrais na sua obra, "linguagem", "religião" e "memória", aparecem e se entrelaçam ao longo da sua produção poética. Também conecto a literatura de Akbar e sua trajetória biográfica com a discussão acerca da "literatura sem morada fixa", teorizada por Ottmar Ette (2018), problematizando assim as questões da literatura contemporânea e das suas fronteiras. E, por último, apresento a tradução de 23 poemas retirados de seus dois livros, a fim de possibilitar ainda mais a discussão sobre a sua obra poética, que é recente e, apesar de ter obtido grande destaque no cenário literário norte-americano, permanece pouco conhecida e não tinha sido, até o momento, traduzida no BrasilAbstract: This research aims to critically analyse the poetic production of the contemporary American-Iranian writer Kaveh Akbar. He is the author of two poetry books, Calling a Wolf a Wolf (2017) and Pilgrim Bell (2021). Akbar was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1989, and moved to the United States as a child, where he currently lives. In this research, I articulate his biography with his literary production, within the limits of autofiction. Also, I conduct a detailed analysis of how the three themes, defined here as the main themes in his poetry books, "language", "religion" and "memory", appear and are intertwined throughout his work. I also connect Akbar's literature and his biographical trajectory with the discussion about "literatures without a fixed abode", theorized by Ottmar Ette (2018), thus problematizing the issues of contemporary literature and its borders. And, finally, this dissertation presents my translation of 23 poems taken from Akbar's two books into Portuguese, in order to shine a light on his work and bring the discussion about it to Brazil. His publications are farrelly recent, and despite receiving great attention in the North American literary scene, they remain little known in Brazil and have not, to this date, been translated or published in the countr

No full textThe genus Chiltana Shakila-Mushtaq &amp; Akbar, 1995 is redescribed and redefined based on the types and new material from Pakistan. Chiltana includes two species, C. acarinata sp. n. and C. baluchi Shakila-Mushtaq &amp; Akbar, 1995 (the type species), both from Chiltan, Balochistan, Pakistan. A key to the species of the genus is provided. Nomenclatorial remarks on original publication, author, and date of Chiltana are given
The Principle of ṣulḥ-i kull as in Abū al-Faẓl's Akbar Namah
No full textAbū al-Faẓl, author of Akbar Namah, in his discussion of the 1580-1582 rebellion in Bengal and Bihar uses the term ṣulḥ-i kull. Though he blames both the court and the rebels of failure to understand this principle correctly, its true meaning is far from clear. If, however, his ambiguous phrasings are compared to the description of the rebellion found in Badāonī or Ni○ām al-Dīn, it turns out that Abū al-Faẓl holds responsible Mu○affar Khān and Shāh Manṣūr, the highest officials at the Mughal court, for neglecting to apply the principle of ṣulḥ-i kull, which means equal treatment of Muslims and Hindus. It seems significant that Abū al-Faẓl’s advocacy of ṣulḥ-i kull came just at the time when Emperor Akbar successfully suppressed the rebellion and firmly established Mughal sovereignty over North India. ○：zの下に点二つjournal articl
