Muhammad Iqbal, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and the Accusation of Heresy, by Teena Purohit
No full textTeena Purohit, Muhammad Iqbal, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and the Accusation of Heresy, Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East (2016) 36 (2): 246–255. Purohit's essay discusses the polemical writings of Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938) against Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908), the founder of the Ahmadi movement. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's vision of Islam was in many ways similar to Iqbal's: both figures were modernist and promoted renewal and reform through the idea of Muslim unity. However..

Estimating Passenger Car Equivalent Factors for Heterogeneous Traffic Using Occupancy-Density Linear Regression Model
No full textA variety of methods have been proposed in the existing literature for the estimation of passenger car equivalent (PCE) factors. These methods are based on the comparison of selected attributes of different vehicles. This research, for the first time, utilizes the basic notion of the linear relationship between road area occupancy and density for the estimation of PCE factors for different vehicle types in heterogeneous traffic. Aerial photographs obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were analyzed to estimate the road area occupancy and the number of vehicles classified in seven selected groups. A linear least-squares regression model was developed between road area occupancy and classified vehicle count. The coefficients of the occupancy-density linear regression model were used to estimate PCE and motorcycle equivalent (MCE) factors. The comparison of the estimated set of PCE values with the values reported in the literature shows that PCE factors estimated using the proposed method are reasonable and produce a better occupancy-density relationship than the other studies. In comparison with the existing methods that rely on lane-based measurements, the proposed method is well suited for traffic with weak/no lane discipline, as it considers the entire road width and the dynamics of lateral movement of different types of vehicles. The proposed method does not need extensive traffic data of speeds, headways, flow rates, and so forth, and is applicable on aerial photographs obtained from other sources, such as satellites.Funding

Shi'ism and Constitutionalism: a Study of the Life and Views of Mirza Muhammad Husayn Na'ini, a Shi'i Mujtahid of Iran.
No full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the position of the Persian 'ulama toward the idea of constitutionalism and the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1906, as exemplified in the life and political thought of Mirza Muhammad Husayn Na'inî (1860-1936). By studying Nâ'ïni's discussion of tyranny and the principles of democracy, we learn to what extent the 'ulama were aware of democracy and to what extent they were prepared to make concessions to modernity.Le but de cet ouvrage est d'examiner la position du clergé Chi'i vis-à-vis du concept de la constitution et la Révolution constitutionnelle persane de 1906, comme il est illustré dans la vis et la pensée politique de Mirza Muhammad Husayn Na'ïnî (1860-1936). Les discussions de Na'ini de l'idée de tyrannie et des principes démocratiques, nous permettent de voire comment les 'ulama ont compris la démocratie, et ainsi jusque à quel point ils étaient prêts à faire des concessions à la modernité

No full textThis report was written as part of the requirement for the Bachelor of Office Systems Management (Hons.) programme. At Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), I completed a 24-week/6-month internship programme. My time at this company was very valuable as the experiences I gained will help me secure a better job after graduation. All the tasks and assignments I completed will be included in this report. During the internship, I was placed in the Project Development (Monitoring & Infrastructure) department, which was highly beneficial as I gained new knowledge and enhanced my skills in office systems. Throughout the internship, I acquired general knowledge about file updates and the process of project implementation through the assigned tasks. The top management also exposed me to the professional pathway by sharing their expertise in this field. Overall, my internship experience was very positive as I had a supportive and caring supervisor as well as friendly colleagues. It is an honor for me to recommend Iskandar Regional Development Authority as a place for future students to undertake their internships

The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.
