    Abstract This dissertation investigates the legal causes of the difference in rulings on tawarruq, a controversial product used in contemporary Islamic finance practice. The research examines the diversity of rulings on tawarruq and explores the underlying reasons on which these are based upon. Rulings of Islamic law are generally influenced by four factors: time, place, customs and circumstances. These elements have an impact either individually or collectively on rulings. The aim of the dissertation is to study the differences in tawarruq rulings in light of these four factors. The aim of the dissertation is accomplished by analysing historical evolution of the rulings on tawarruq over five stages: the first Islamic era, the age of the tabi’een (followers), the age of the mujtahids (qualified jurists), period after the age of the mujtahids and contemporary times. This thesis then examines the current rulings and forms of tawarruq as applied in Malaysia and Gulf Countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab of Emiratis, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait) in the light of four factors identified above. The findings of this study underline the fact that the four factors (time, place, customs and circumstances) have an important influence on the rulings on tawarruq, both in the past and the present

    No full text
    102-111This paper is an expression about historical background, current trends and applications of taxonomies. It is based on the published literature discussing various aspects of taxonomies. The survey is based on free text search for the terms: Taxonomy, Knowledge organisation, Knowledge organisation systems, and Knowledge organisation tools in various online databases (Emerald, Taylor & Francis, Wilson web, Science Direct, Wiley online), and Google. Besides online databases some articles were identified from conventional journals and books. A number of periodicals across disciplines cover the subject. After analysis the relevant articles coinciding with the scope of the paper are presented under three categories: need, description, and benefits. The review reveals that the use of taxonomies is being highly advocated by the scholars for the efficient knowledge organization and retrieval of information in the digital environment due to the expeditious and compounded growth of information on the web and the failure of search engines to retrieve the relevant information. The ability of the taxonomies to retrieve the digital information with high precision and recall is unanimously accepted and established beyond doubt. It is also revealed that taxonomies are being implemented in various organizations/web portals across the globe

    The present age is the age of technology and the process of information communication is influenced by this technological gimmick. With the advent of the Web, various information resources have launched themselves on the online. Today any information resource without a Web version is considered at the verge of extinction. The revolution created by Web has led in the development of new concepts like online journals, online books, Electronic Theses and Dissertations, Wikis, etc that are the representatives of the Web resources. The growth of these Web resources is an explosive one as everyone is aware about their benefits. It is in this context, that the present study assesses the Web resources in terms of their growth and development from different perspectives. For giving the study a systematic and articulate look, it is divided in to seven chapters, Bibliography and two appendices (I and II). The study is a collection of first two introductory chapters. The First Chapter deals with the introduction about the research problem undertaken. It includes objectives, scope and the terms used in the research topic. Furthermore, it also portrays the methodology used for the completion of the research. The Second Chapter summarizes the history and development of Social Sciences. The chapter also lays emphasis on the World Wide Web and its related technologies. The historical development and features of World Wide Web are systematically endowed with. Various search tools and techniques related to Web are lucidly elucidated. Further, detailed information about search engines, meta-search engines, directories and subject gateways being the providers of various Web resources also form a part of the chapter.

    Information Systems are complex entities, can exist physically in terms of organizations and logically as softwares, they may be system based or network base. The concept of Information System emerged from Management and gradually began to affect all those places where organization lies. Information system can be called as a set of organized procedures, which when performed, provide inflation for decision making and/or control of the organization. Thus we can say where there is organization there is Information System. In our day today life we directly or indirectly come intact with a number of Information Systems. Because our society heavily depends on information systems, as they are carefully carved in every sphere of work culture. Natural Science is one of the affected branches of humankind, which deals with the entire livelihood in biosphere. Though Information System is modest in its kind still it is being widely accepted. There are hundreds of examples of online Information System based on Flora and Fauna, but majority of them have a large loopholes which cater to the development and wide spread of their information. The present study revel some solutions to the development of Floral Information System through designing by ruling out the drawbacks and limitations of the earlier National Information Systems. The study focuses on an essential part of the development of information systems i.e., the designing mode. The study has described designing using logical mode with the help of Data Flow Diagrams and Flow Charting and accomplishing the work by omitting the coding and testing phase. The designing is accompanied by weaving out the different modules into a single standard, networked Floral Information System. The designing is carried out in combination with modern entities like Web2.0 tools and Artificial Intelligence. The system is developed by using Project Planning Method in which main entity is broken into number of modules and ultimately creates a in such a way that coding is easy for future purpose. The system supports many old features of earlier Floral Information and many modern ones which are yet to be implemented by any Floral Information system
