Evaluation of Narrational Justification of Bodily Resurrection Quality According to Hakim Aqa Ali Modarres.
No full textHakim Aqa-Ali Modarres has a salient innovativeness among transcendental wises. He inspires his innovative approach in challenging theory of physical resurrection from an anecdote which influenced his whole attitude and he uses transcendent rational rules to explain this anecdote for further use in proving physical resurrection. Uniting rational-philosophical fundamentals and anecdotal context is prevalent in transcendent wisdom. Sadr-al-Motaa’llihin first used this approach and manifested his expertise in elaborating and interpreting anecdotal context in both short or long philosophical works as well as interpretational works. Hakim Aqa-Ali Modarres by enjoying this legacy put a remarkable focus on a specific anecdote in order to explain modality of physical resurrection. His efforts in elaborating revelations are much valuable and also enlightening for researchers in this difficult field, whether his approaches match explicit intent of anecdote or not. Analyzing his understandings by rational criteria and critical analysis can lead to better way to comprehend religious texts
Boyle Heights: A Brief Demographic and Health Profile
No full textIn this report, Professor Ali Modarres, a nationally recognized geographer and demographer, examines the demographic landscape and health care utilization of the community of Boyle Heights. Focusing on the years between 2000 and 2010, Dr. Modarres found an increase in the median age of the community, a decline in the number of younger population, and a reduction in the number of households with their own children under the age of 18. Pointing to these findings, he suggests that Boyle Heights is following the observed aging pattern in the metropolitan area, a demographic phenomenon requiring policy attention. In focusing on health and healthcare issue, this report illustrates that: (1) Latinos in Boyle Heights and throughout Los Angeles County utilize medical facilities in the same proportion as their population; (2) younger Boyle Heights residents are much less likely to use these facilities than their population share; (3) Medi-Cal is the predominant form of payment, although as the population ages, the Medicare population is likely to rise; and (4) local facilities, particularly White Memorial Hospital and County-USC are the main sources of care for Boyle Heights residents. As these institutions go, so goes health care for Boyle Heights
City and Environment
No full textFor the first time in history, more than half the world\u27s people live in cities, an extraordinary change in circumstances for human beings and the natural environment. Coming to terms with an urban world requires an understanding of the complex relationships between cities and natural ecosystems. City and the Environment are not mutually exclusive terms. Facing urban conditions in the 21st century requires an understanding of the interaction between social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental factors. Christopher Boone and Ali Modarres explore the city, its environment, and the role humans play in shaping the meaning and condition of both. In doing so, they engage the reader in an exploratory discourse on the urban environment.https://digitalcommons.tacoma.uw.edu/urban_books/1002/thumbnail.jp
Soul-body Relationship According to Hakīm `Āqā `Ali Modarres
No full textThe quality of bodily resurrection has been a complicated problem throughout the history of religious, theological and philosophical thoughts. Theorists have been trying to strengthen the grounds to overcome the problem. Transcendent Philosophy explains these grounds and principles to solve the problem. One of the most important of these tenets is the knowledge of the soul and its principles. Through the theory of ‘bodily origination and spiritual survival of the soul’, Transcendent sages have been paved the way. But in this theory the relation between material body and immaterial soul in bodily resurrection seems problematic also. Hakīm Modasses, with his special method, tried to explain this relation and stated his principle in bodily resurrection problem. His theory is based upon ‘dynamic body toward static soul’. In spite of depending on the principles of transcendent philosophy, it leads to logically different conclusion. This variation is innovative but it would be finally evaluated as a turning to theological conclusions which is could not be regarded as a little difference. In the realm of soul-body relationship as the most prominent principle to the bodily resurrection, the explanation of Hakīm `Āqa `Ali Modarres clarifies some essential difficulties and pave the way to more precise consideration on this basic religious belief. This prevents the superficialist attitudes toward religious belief and though

Syriac-Arabic Glosses of Isho bar Ali. Volume 2
No full textThese two volumes constitute the second part (nun-taw) of the Syriac-Arabic dictionary of the 10th cent. physician Isho bar Ali (the first half of the dictionary had been published in 1874 by G. Hoffmann). Each Syriac word is defined in Arabic, often with more than one Arabic equivalent; in addition, the author deals not just with individual Syriac words, but in some cases with phrases. Gottheil used 21 manuscripts (from Oxford, London, Paris, Berlin, Leiden, and Rome) for this edition, and he has supplied a thorough critical apparatus; the manuscripts are described in the introduction. While some manuscripts give the Arabic glosses in Syriac characters (i.e. Garshuni), Gottheil has presented them here in Arabic script. These two volumes will be of great interest to Syriac lexicographers and those who study interactions between Syriac and Arabic.Contains an English introduction by Richard J.H. Gotthei

The Transcultural Critic: Sabahattin Ali and Beyond
No full textThe central theme of this volume is the work of Sabahattin Ali, the Turkish author and translator from German into Turkish who achieved posthumous success with his novel Kürk Mantolu Madonna (The Madonna in the Fur Coat). Our contributors analyze this novel, which takes place largely in Germany, and several other texts by Ali in the context of world literature, (cultural) translation, and intertextuality. Their articles go far beyond the intercultural love affair that has typically dominated the discussion of Madonna. Other articles consider Zafer Şenocak’s essay collection Deutschsein and transcultural learning through picture books. An interview with Selim Özdoğan rounds out the issue.Im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes steht das Werk des türkischen Autors und Übersetzers aus dem Deutschen Sabahattin Ali, der mit seinem Roman Kürk Mantolu Madonna (Die Madonna im Pelzmantel) zu posthumem Ruhm gelangte. Der Roman, der zum Großteil in Deutschland spielt, und andere seiner Werke werden unter Aspekten der Weltliteratur, (kultureller) Übersetzung und Intertextualität diskutiert. Damit reicht der Fokus weit über die bislang im Vordergrund stehende interkulturelle Liebesgeschichte in der Madonna hinaus. Weitere Beiträge beschäftigen sich mit Zafer Şenocaks Essaysammlung Deutschsein und dem transkulturellen Lernen mit Bilderbüchern. Ein Interview mit Selim Özdoğan rundet diese Ausgabe ab
