    The principal aim of this thesis is to assess the performance of Imam Salim b.Rashid and the Imamate revival in Oman during the second decade of the 20th century. It presents biographical information about Imam Salim, with special reference to the military and political policies by which he established and consolided his Imamate in the Interior Province, and his relations with the Sultan and the latter's British supporters. An attempt is also made to explore the relationship between the Imam and the Omani tribes and to evaluate his administrative success. This thesis comprises eight chapters, and the introduction and conclusion. The introduction reviews the relevant literature on the topic. The first chapter describes the geographical setting and provides a historical background, relating to three principal matters: the rise of the Iba<;liyyah and the development of the Imamate in Oman; the events in Oman after Sd. Sa'id's death up to 1913; and the effects of the First World War. The second chapter seeks to give an account of the career of Imam Salim's life and the Imamate revival. The third chapter discusses the manner in which the Imam was elected, private and public allegiance (bay'ah) and the Imam's aims and policy programme. Chapter Four deals with the Imam's military operations and the spread of his authority over Oman. Chapter Five examines the attempts at negotiation between the Imam and the Sultan, and the role of the British Government and the local figures in this regard. Chapter Six is devoted to a discussion of the role of the tribes in support of Imam Salim, and the extent of the Imam's influence over these tribes. Chapter Seven assesses the Imam's administrative machinery, including the political system, the bureaucracy, education policy, and financial apparatus. Chapter Eight examines the causes behind the assassination of Imam Salim and the signing of the Treaty of al-Sib. In the conclusion, we present the findings of the research as they have emerged from the assessment of the course of events in Oman. We have said that the Omanis succeeded in reviving the Imamate and elected Imam Salim al-KharU~i who devoted his efforts to establish the foundations of the state, and peace prevailed in the country after the treaty of al-Sib in 1920

    Car drivers’ preferences for ISA policy measures

    No full text
    Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA), an in-vehicle system that can either warn the driver or directly limit the vehicle’s speed when the speed limit is reached, is generally believed to have a large potential to increase road safety. However, policy makers hesitate to take policy measures that may increase ISA use. Public acceptance of ISA or policy makers’ perception of it is regarded to play an important role in this. This paper aims to increase this insight by reporting car drivers’ preferences for ISA policy measures based on stated choice experiment conducted in the Netherlands. Respondents made choices between various implementation strategies (mandatory ISA and voluntary ISA with financial incentives) given a chosen policy measure. The policy measure describes which drivers group (speed offenders, professional drivers or all drivers) is targeted and which ISA type (warning or limiting) is stimulated. The results point out that car drivers especially prefer that policy makers would impose ISA on speed offenders and to a lesser extent also on professional drivers, while they prefer a voluntary ISA for themselves. Use of voluntary ISA can be stimulated by offering financial incentives, of which purchase subsidy is preferred above annual tax cuts. Furthermore, car drivers prefer warning ISA for themselves and also for professional drivers, while they prefer limiting ISA for speed offenders. In addition, the results indicate that females and the older age group prefer ISA policy measures more than males and young drivers, but overall car drivers’ preferences seem to be rather homogeneous.Engineering, Systems and ServicesTechnology, Policy and Managemen

    Isa al-Masih / Yesus Kristus, adalah seorang nabi dan rasul yang terlahir dari kalangan bangsa Yahudi, beliau putra dari seorang wanita yang termasyhur kesucianya, yaitu Siti Maryam binti imran, beliau lahir dalam keadaan luar biasa yaitu tiada berbapak, yang diutus tuhan kepada Bangsa Israel untuk mengembalikan ajaran taurat yang dibawa nabi Musa. Menurut al-Qur’an, Isa al-Masih adalah utusan Allah SWT, yang datang kepada bangsa Israel untuk menggenapi firman Allah SWT, yang ada didalam kitab Taurat sebelum Injil. Dalam perjalanan dakwahnya untuk mengembalikan ajaran taurat sebenarnya, banyak hambatan yang datang dari para imam suci bait Allah, dengan dasar kedatanganya untuk merubah kitab taurat, para imam suci dan orang-orang yahudi berhasil menghasut gubernur romawi Pontius Pilatus untuk menghukum dan menyalibkan Isa al-Masih. Namun dengan kebesaran Allah SWT, mereka mengira bahwa Isa telah meninggal karena hukuman penyaliban, tetapi yang terjadi adalah Isa telah diselamatkan dan masih tetap mendakwahkan ajaran Allah SWT. Lain halnya dengan kitab Injil menjelaskan tentang Isa / Yesus, merupakan oknum Allah yang hadir menjelma menjadi manusia dan tinggal bersama bangsa Israel. Mereka yakin kedatangan Yesus akan membawa kedamaian dan penebusan dosa bagi bangsa Israel, untuk membuktikan yesus adalah tuhan, mereka hendak membunuh dan menyalibkannya, setelah kematianya diatas kayu salib Yesus hidup dan mendatangi murid-muridnya, agar memberitakan kabar gembira dari kerajaan tuhan dilangit.
