Methodology of Interpretation of Abu Marwan Bin Musa in the Book of Hidāyatul Insān Bi Tafsīr Al-Qur’ān
No full textInterpretive research cannot be separated from methodology. As time goes by, efforts to understand God's words in the Qur'an and human efforts are growing. Reading the Qur'an will occur and develop from time to time both in terms of mode of interpretation, epistemology, methodology, etc. As long as the interpretation process is carried out, it will not stop. When interpreting the Qur'an, each interpreter will be influenced by the social and cultural conditions in which he lives, and the political situation around him has a great influence on him, as was Abu Marwan bin Musa. Tafsīr Hidāyat al Insān bi Tafsīr al-Qur`ān written by Abu Marwan bin Musa is one of the products of contemporary interpretation, as is the case in 21. The book of Tafsīr Hidāyat al Insān bi Tafsīr al-Qur`ān uses the ittijāh al-salafī paradigm to interpret verses Quran verses. In this study, the author examines the method of interpretation of Abu Marwan bin Musa in the book "Tafsīr Hidāyat al Insān bi Tafsīr al-Qur'ān" and evaluates the book. Therefore, the author tries to look at the methodology of Abu Marwan bin Musa in this book

Vocalization in Group Writing
No full textThe so-called group writing or syllabic orthography is a special orthography used in Egyptian hieroglyphic texts starting from the New Kingdom/Late Bronze Age. The nature and function of this orthography, especially the way it notates vowels, has been a topic of debate for more than a century, without any consensus being reached. In this book, Marwan Kilani presents a new interpretative model that provides a fresh explanation of how the syllabic orthography notates vowels. The author starts from a critical reanalysis of previous suggestions and from a thorough reassessment of the evidence. He then infers the functioning of the system by comparing the group writing spelling of Late Egyptian words surviving in Coptic with the reconstructions of their vocalizations. This approach leads to the recognition of a system that not only coherently explains all the spellings attested in the corpus, but which also produces interpretations of the spellings in group writing that agree with current reconstructions of the Egyptian vocalization. The book contains indexes and an Appendix listing the words analysed in the study

Learning the Manifolds of Local Features and Their Spatial Arrangements
No full textLocal features play an important role for many computer vision problems; they are highly discriminative and possess invariant properties. However, the spatial configuration of local fea-tures plays an essential role in recognition. Spatial neighborhoods capture local geometry and collectively provide shape information about a given object. In this dissertation we studied explicit and implicit ways to exploit the joint feature-spatial arrangement in images for recog-nition problems. We introduce a framework to learn an embedded representation of images that captures the similarity between features and the spatial arrangement information. The frame-work was successfully applied in object recognition and localization context. The framework was also applied for feature matching across multiple images. We also showed the viability of the framework in regression from local features for viewpoint estimation. We also studied implicit ways to exploit the feature-spatial manifold structure in the data without explicit embedding and within a transductive learning paradigm for object localization. We learned the labels of the local features from an object class in a manner that provides spatial and feature smoothing over the labels. To achieve that we adapted the Global and Local Consistency Solution for Label Propagation to our implicit manifold model to infer the labels of local features
Empédocle, fragment 32 Diels (Pseudo-Aristote, 'De lineis insecabilibus, 972 b 29-31)
No full textThe concluding lines of the pseudo-Aristotelian treatise On indivisible lines (972 b 25-33) contain a reference to Empedocles. The actual words attributed to Empedocles, as they stand in the manuscripts, no less than the purport of the argument in which they are embedded (972 b 29-31), are hopelessly obscure. We propose two very simple changes. The reference to Empedocles should be removed from the place it has in the manuscripts (972 b 29-30) to a position three lines earlier in the text (972 b 26). The final words of the argument (972 b 30-31) should be corrected from το ἐν τοῖς ἀκινήτοις to τὸ ἒν τῶν ἀκινήτων. The compendia for -ων and -οις (as in ἀκινήτων and ἀκινήτοις) are not always easily distinguishable and confusion is frequent in manuscripts of the Byzantine period. In this case, the genitive has been misread as a dative because the numeral (ἔν) has been misread as a preposition (ἐν). With these two changes, both the argument of the author and his reference to Empedocles acquire a meaning which is at once simple and obvious. Dare we hope that our emended text will bring to an end two hundred years of scholarly doubts and difficulties ?Les dernières lignes du traité pseudo-aristotélicien Des lignes insécables (972 b 25-33) contiennent une référence à Empédocle (fr. 32 Diels). Aussi bien l'argumentation du passage que la citation du poète sont incompréhensibles en l'état. On proposera ici deux corrections permettant d'en restituer la structure et le sens.O’Brien Denis, Rashed Marwan.
