Teacher's Civil Liability for Administering Corporal Punishment to Pupils in Islamic Jurisprudence A Comparative Study with the Kuwaiti Penal Code
Get PDFيهدف البحث إلى معالجة ظاهرة تأديب المعلم للمتعلم بالضرب، من خلال بيان الضمان المترتب عند حصول التلف من الضرب، وتناولت الدراسة: بيان أقوال الفقهاء في ضمان تأديب المعلم بالضرب، والترجيح بينها، وشروط الضمان، وضوابط التأديب مقارنة بقانون الجزاء الكويتي.
وتوصل الباحث إلى نتيجة إجمالية تمثلت في: تضمين المعلم في تأديبه للمتعلم عند التلف ولو كان الضرب بالمعتاد وبلا إسراف، وهو رأي أبي حنيفة والشافعية، وجاء قانون الجزاء الكويتي في شروط الـتأديب والضمان المترتب عليه متَّفقًا بشكل كبير مع الفقه الإسلامي.
ويوصي الباحث: بأن يتم انتقاء المعلمين بعناية من خلال المقابلة الشخصية الحقيقية، وبضرورة مراقبة أدائه، وأن يكون ضرب المتعلم عند الاستحقاق من خلال إشراف إداري ونفسي وتربوي، وأن يُلتزَم بضوابط التأديب الشرعية.his study aims to address the issue of corporal punishment administered by teachers to pupils with respect to civil liability regarding the occurrence of damages caused by the punishment. The study delves into the statements of the jurists regarding the corporal discipline carried out by teachers and attempts to identify the correct position. The study also mentions the conditions for civil liability, as well as the disciplinary controls put in place by the Kuwaiti penal code.
The researcher concludes that teachers who discipline their students are liable for all damages, even if the punishment is mild and not typically one that causes injury. This view of Abu Hanifa and al-Shafi'I in a Kuwaiti penal code ruling on this issue is mostly compatible with Islamic jurisprudence.
The researcher recommends that teachers be carefully selected through personal interviews and that their performance should be continuously monitored. The paper encourages corporal discipline under administrative, psychological and educational supervision and with adherence to Islamic disciplinary controls

Performance analysis of hybrid renewable energy systems used for rural electrification in Malaysia / Laith Mahmoud Mohammad Halabi
Get PDFFinding the sustainable, reliable and environmentally-friendly source of energy for remote areas is regarded as one of the major issues in the last decade. However, extending the national grid considered as economically impractical or sometimes technically impossible due to harsh geographical terrains and dispersed population. Normally, such areas are used standalone diesel generators to supply electrical power, which partially covers the load demand. Such standalone systems suffer from several problems of transporting and storing the fuel beside discontinues operation due to maintenance concerns.
The alternative solution to solve these issues is to establish hybrid energy system contains; conventional and renewable energy sources with or without storage system. These systems have received greater attention in recent years, where many studies have performed to find the optimal design without analyzing the operational performance. Analyzing the operational data and performance metrics of two hybrid PV/diesel hybrid systems remotely located in Sabah – Malaysia at (Pulau Banggi and Tanjung Labian) are considered throughout this work. We first verified the collected data followed by the development of all possible scenarios of standalone diesel generators, existing hybrid PV/diesel/battery and 100% PV/batteries systems. Also, developing the optimum systems in both sites is also performed. The analysis examined the performance based on technical, economic and environmental aspects. Furthermore, the development of solar radiation prediction algorithms in addition to integrating a flexible hybrid renewable energy design are presented. HOMER software and MATLAB are used in this work.
The comparison of the existing systems with the optimized scenarios indicates that the existing systems have not optimally selected prior installation. Where the existing hybrid PV/diesel/battery system shows the best performance compared to standalone diesel
generators and 100% PV/batteries scenarios in terms of the technical aspects as well as supporting 24-hour energy access. Meanwhile, the standalone diesel generator system shows the best economic scenario. The inclusion of RE resources in power generation has resulted in improving the system performance and minimizing the dependence on fossil fuel and reducing the generated amount of harmful emissions towards the surrounding environment as well. It also resulted in increasing system sustainability. Accordingly, the results of predicting monthly global solar radiation showed a very good agreement between the predicted and measured data sets besides it demonstrated the high prediction capability of the developed hybrid models using standalone Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and hybrid ANFIS models which include ANFIS-PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization), ANFIS-GA (Genetic Algorithm), and ANFIS-DE (Differential Evolution). The developed modules showed high accuracy in the prediction of solar radiation. In addition, it is considered as an effective tool in predicting solar radiation and deemed to be suitable for further use in various engineering and practical applications. Furthermore, the proposed flexible design is verified over different combinations and indicated the high capability in meeting the loads, support continuous operation and reduce the harmful emissions towards the environment overall conditions for both off-grid and on-grid connections. Besides, showing the importance of including storage system (batteries) to store excess energy and reducing the losses in the off-grid connections. An accurate analysis of the operational performance of hybrid renewable energy stations would enhance the optimal planning and designing of new projects around the world

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
