    The water resources structures on the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim routes to Makka and Medinah

    No full text
    AI-Hajj in Arabic means the pilgrimage to MAKKA. This was an ancient rite which was recognised a long time before the rise of Islam. According to the holy Quran and Islamic tradi tion, AI-Haj j goes back to the time of the prophet Ibrahim. Thus MAKKA was a focus for worship but it was also a commercial centre and a way station/stopping place on the ancient trade caravan road between south western -Arabia and Bilad AI-Sham,' now Syria. In part the inhabitants of MAKKA practised this trade because their environment was not suitable for other alternative economic activities. The importance of MAKKA, as a ritual place increased after the rise of Islam because it became Qibla-Kiblah - the direction to which muslims turn in praying towards AIKa'aba. Yathrib - later to become Medinah - is the second holy city. In fact it was not a ritual place, but like MAKKA it was a stopping place on the ancient trade caravan road. The inhabitants of Medinah practised agriculture because their environment was more suitable than that at MAKKA; water was available and the land was fertile so that in addition to trade, they also practised agriculture. The importance of Medinah as a holy place only developed after AI-Hijra - the immigration of the prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, to it and his establishing of Islam at that site. Medinah became the capital of the Islamic state both religiously and politically. Islam then spread from Medinah over the Arabian Peninsular to the world beyond. The consequence of the conquest of Iraq, Bilad AI-Sham, Egypt, the north coast of Africa and Persia was that the majority of the population of these countries accepted and adopted Islam as their religious faith. As a result of this the populations of these countries came annually to make AlHajj and in doing so developed several additional pilgrim caravan routes. However, it is the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim routes - Tareeq AI-Hajj AI-Shami and Wal Masri which are the objects of this work. In both these cases the pilgrim caravan routes were previously ancient trade caravan routes which travelled through Arabia, particularly through the western province of Al Hijaz. The geographical location of Arabia, the cross roads of three continents, Asia, Africa, and Europe, made important the pre-Islamic routes which ran through it. Of course the function of this network at that time was commercial but after the rise of Islam the function of this network of routes became to transport the pilgrims. The geological and topographical features, as well as climatic conditions, in Arabia played a great role in determining the ancient routes in Arabia. The availability of water was a very important consideration on these routes and was influenced by environmental conditions. Since the rainfall is insufficient, the resulting absence or shortage of water on the pilgrim caravan routes made the caliphs pay great concern to providing the pilgrim routes with the most essential facilities, particularly water supplies and storage. Ever since the earliest Islamic times, they provided for the travellers Al birak, water tanks; Ahwadh cisterns; Qanawat - channels; and abyar - wells, in order to make AI-Hajj journey more comfortable. The pilgrim caravans in general, and the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim caravan routes in particular, passed through several stages of development since their origin in early Islamic times and these evolutionary stages can be seen until the beginning of this century. Because the object of this thesis is to document the remains of the water resource structures, an extensive survey and investigation has been completed on the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim caravan routes. The field work has been conducted in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the north western region where the Syrian and Egyptian pilgrim routes cross the country. The field work mainly aimed at ascertaining the location of all the way stations and their names and surveying each station in order to record the surviving remains of water resource structures. The field work covered a large area of about 8, OOOkm transect and extended from MACCA in the south through Medinah to the North as far as Halat I Ammar on the north at the border between Saudi Arabia and Jordan. From N.W. to S .Wit stretched from Haql on the Gulf of AI-' Aqaba as far as MAKKA. These routes consist of the major, or principal caravan routes as well as a number of traverse routes which allow travellers a choice of transit as well as connecting routes. There are large way stations as well as small minor way stations. As part of this dissertation, almost all the stopping places have been identified and documented by mapping and photography

    Cheikh Ibrahim Niasse (1900-1975) : précurseur de la Tijâniyya au Niger (étude doctrinale de sa pensée et ses implications sociales et politiques)

    La Tijâniyya est l une des plus grandes confréries musulmanes d Afrique de l Ouest. L avènement de Cheikh Ibrahim Niasse a beaucoup contribué au renforcement des assises de cette voie soufie dans cette partie du continent Africain. La particularité du mouvement de la Faydha, dont le guide est Cheikh Ibrahim Niasse réside dans la capacité de la Tijâniyya à revivifier l islam, à consolider l élan de la spiritualité qui constitue l âme de cette religion universelle. L autre spécificité du mouvement niassène est la vocation qu elle à d éduquer les masses, d orienter les jeunes au sein des zawiyas, véritables écoles de vie où sont enseignés les valeurs d un islam tolérant qui prône la Paix et le dialogue. Ces valeurs, savamment gardées par les Cheikhs, sont l héritage soufi légué par leur Maître, Cheikh Ibrahim Niasse. Une autre distinction de ce mouvement, ce sont ses capacités d adaptation et de flexibilité qui proviennent essentiellement des atouts d une voie soufie ouverte à la modernité, mais qui sauvegarde ses valeurs. Cet élan de renouveau est entretenu par la Faydha qui, désormais constitue non seulement le parachèvement de la tarîqa Tijâniyya sur le plan spirituel et social mais aussi le souffle intérieur qui, en faveur de l envergure mondiale qu elle prend est un facteur important avec lequel il faudra à l avenir prendre en compte pour la recherche de solutions au désenchantement actuel du monde et au climat de sclérose qui l atteint de plus en plus.Tijaniyya is one of the important Muslim brotherhoods in West Africa. The accession of Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse recessed the basics of Sufism in this part of Africa. The special feature of Faydha movement, which guide is Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse, is laid in the capacity of Tijaniyya to revivify Islam; and to consolidate spirituality which is the soul of this universal religion. The other characteristic of niassene s movement is its suggestion to civilize all people, to give direction to young people in to Zawiyas which are real schools of life where are taught Islam values of tolerance which lauds Peace and dialogue. These values kept in secret by Sheikhs are Sufi inheritance leaved by their majors. Another difference of this movement is its adaptability and flexibility which comes mainly from Sufism assets opened up to modernity, all in saving its values. The revival is been supported by Faydha which is for now on the perfection of Tarîqa Tijaniyya on the spiritual side but also in its international importance.BORDEAUX3-BU Lettres-Pessac (335222103) / SudocSudocFranceF

    A conceptual framework for supporting gender inclusivity in games

    No full text
    Gender inclusivity in games is still exploratory and, despite an increase in games and gender research, many challenges remain in designing a more gender-inclusive game. This thesis addresses the problem of how to support gender inclusivity in games by combining theories in games and gender. Existing research in games and gender tend to focus on finding out how each gender plays and their preferences in games. However, there is little evidence that researchers have approached the issue of gender inclusivity in games with the intent of building a cohesive understanding of gender inclusivity in games and the relationships that exist between the different dimensions and components. Consequently, this research has developed a conceptual framework that supports gender inclusivity in games.A central contribution of this research is the development of a Gender Inclusivity Framework (GIF) to support an integrative approach to understanding and evaluating gender inclusivity in games. The framework enables understanding of the makeup of gender inclusivity in games and measures the level of gender inclusivity in games. Drawing upon established theories and prior research findings, the framework indicates that gender inclusivity in games can be determined by three dimensions: (1) gameplay, which relates to game behaviours; (2) content, which relates to aesthetics elements of a game; and (3) genre, which relates to types of games. Each dimension in the framework is divided into individual components that can be modified or further investigated in future studies. Each component in combination describes the dimension in terms that can be measured and evaluated in empirical studies. Hence, the combination of dimensions and components used to construct the framework provide the description of gender inclusivity in games, which in turn predicts the degree of gender inclusivity in games.An example of GIF application has been demonstrated through the development of a novel measuring instrument called Gender Inclusivity Rating Scale (GIRS) and through a series of experiments, the GIRS has been validated and used in a research scenario to investigate the differences in gender inclusivity in game component between a gamer's gender role orientations.This thesis presents a detailed discussion of the GIF development, validation and application. For researchers, the GIF provides a common framework in which to conceptualise their research and make it easier to see how individual variables fit into the larger picture. For game designers, the GIF enables deconstruction of the concept of gender inclusivity in games into smaller, conceptually distinct and manageable components to guide the design of gender inclusivity in games

    Pelancongan merupakan sektor yang semakin berkembang di Malaysia kerana menyumbang pendapatan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Akibat daripada perkembangan tersebut, kerajaan membangunkan beberapa produk pelancongan di seluruh negara mengikut dasar yang telah ditetapkan. Antara produk pelancongan yang dibangunkan adalah yang berteraskan kepada pelancongan alam semula jadi (ecotourism). Ini kerana Malaysia mempunyai kekayaan dan keunikan flora dan fauna kawasan hutan yang melibatkan kawasan seluas 20.50 juta hektar (62.04 peratus) daripada keluasan negara (Ibrahim, 2001). Hasil daripada itu, Malaysia mempunyai sebanyak 18 taman negara dan empat taman negeri yang sebahagian besarnya terletak di Sabah dan Sarawak. Oleh yang demikian, artikel ini akan menceritakan salah satu produk pelancongan berasaskan alam semulajadi yang meliputi aspek keunikan sumberjaya, trend kedatangan pe1ancong, aktiviti yang dilakukan, impak yang timbul, kemudahan yang disediakan serta kaedah pengurusan yang dijalankan

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Gender-Inclusivity Framework (GIF): A Conceptual Framework for Supporting Gender-Inclusivity in Games

    Despite the dramatic growth of gender and games research, many challenges remain in designing a more gender inclusive game. This research addresses the problem of how to support gender-inclusivity in games by incorporating theories in games and gender. Existing research in games and gender tend to focus on finding out how each gender plays and their preferences in games. However, there is little evidence that researchers have approached the issue of gender inclusivity in games with the intent of building a cohesive understanding of gender inclusivity in games and the relationships that exist between the different dimensions and components. Consequently, the aim of this research is to develop an integrative conceptual framework that can support gender inclusivity in games. The development of the Gender Inclusivity Framework (GIF) aimed to understand the makeup of gender inclusivity in games, how to define gender inclusivity in games and measure the level of gender inclusiveness in games. Drawing upon established theories and prior research findings, the proposed framework suggests that gender inclusivity in games can be determined by 3 dimensions: (1) gameplay, which describes the game behaviour and include non-violent action (NVA), game support (GS), forgiving gameplay (FG), non-violent challenge (NVC), feedback system (FS), variety of activities (ACT), personalization (PER) and collaboration (COLL); (2) content, that relates to the aesthetics elements of a game and consists of character/avatar portrayal (AVP), game world graphics (GW), sound/music (SM) and storyline (STOR) and; (3) genre, which categorizes games into twelve broad genres: racing, simulation, classic/board, strategy, sports, shooting, role playing game, platform, children, puzzle/quiz, action and adventure. Each dimension in the framework is divided into individual components that can be modified or further investigated in future studies. Each component in combination describes the dimension in terms that can be measured and evaluated in empirical studies. Hence, the combination of dimensions and components used to construct the framework provide the description of gender-inclusivity in games, which in turn is expected to predict the degree of gender-inclusiveness in games. For educators, GIF allows the identification of gender-inclusivity components in games so informed decisions can be made on how to evaluate and choose appropriate games for classroom activities. For researchers, GIF provides a common framework in which to conceptualize their research and make it easier to see how individual variables fit into the larger picture. For game designers, GIF enables deconstruction of the concept of gender inclusivity in games into smaller, conceptually distinct and manageable component to guide the design of gender inclusivity in games
