Hakikat kewujudan syarikat Islam sebagai sebuah entiti / Mohammad Zaid Daud@Daud Yatimee
Get PDFThis Project Paper is written for the sake of deepen the knowledge of the author
and others with regard to the unsolved issues those may be answerable by the
contemporary Islamic Jurists whether the existence of an entity can be considered as a different entity from a human being. It has several characteristics which is quite similar in
nature which belong to the human being and not the entity which differed from human
being. The elaboration will be from the angle of definition, history, development, original
nas, analogy and opinions from the contemporary Islamic Jurists. The author personally
considers that this issue is the backbone of the banking issues nowadays. Just imagine
that our contemporary Islamic Jurist argued limited only to the Islamic Banking
Transaction despite the main issue of the existence of the Bank as separate legal entity
itself has not been answered. This Project Paper will endeavor to study in great depth in
order to satisfy the readers' even though the definite answer may be not find by the
author. That is the beauty of Islam in fact. The need for ljtihad based on knowledge and
not based on desire and satisfaction alone

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
Potential protective effects of tualang honey and Ficus deltoidea dack var.deltoidea against bisphenol a induced toxicity in the reproductive system of pre-pubertal female rats / Siti Sarah Mohammad Zaid
Get PDFBisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most ubiquitous environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals that can disrupt the normal development and functions of the female reproductive system. In the last few decades, considerable amount of evidence has shown that young women are put at high risk of reproductive infertility from their routine exposure to numerous BPA-products since BPA induces increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is responsible for reducing the levels of endogenous antioxidant enzymes and increasing the levels of lipid peroxides. Thus, natural products containing high antioxidant properties such as tualang honey (Malaysian wild local honey) and Ficus deltoidea (Malaysian local herbal plant), were selected to study their possible potentials to counter the detrimental effects of BPA on the female reproductive system. The objective of the present study was to investigate the potential protective effects of Tualang honey and Ficus deltoidea against BPA-induced toxicity in the female reproductive system of prepubertal female Sprague Dawley rats. Animals were divided into six groups (n=8 in each group) that consist of (i) control group (received corn oil), (ii) BPA-exposed group (received BPA), (iii) TH+BPA group (received Tualang honey before receiving BPA), (iv) TH control group (received Tualang honey alone), (v) FD+BPA group (received Ficus deltoidea before receiving BPA) and (vi) FD control group (received Ficus deltoidea alone). The administration of the various treatment agents was performed once daily by oral gavage for six consecutive weeks. Uterine and ovarian toxicity of BPA-exposed rats were evident from the changes in the estrous cycle, disruption in the gonadotropins hormone levels (FSH and LH), follicular development and secretion of sexual steroid hormones (17β-estradiol and progesterone) by the ovary. BPA toxicity also results in disruptive effects on the uterus by inducing morphological abnormalities, increasing oxidative stress and dysregulating the expression and

distribution of the estrogen sensitive genes, ERα, ERβ and C3. Pretreatment with Tualang honey and Ficus deltoidea in the BPA-exposed rats showed significant protection on the reproductive system as shown by the increase in the percentage of rats with normal estrous cycle, increase in the level of gonadotropins hormone (FSH), reduction in the formation of the atretic follicles and normalization of the progesterone secretion by the ovary. In addition, there was lesser degree of abnormalities in the uterine and ovarian morphology and reduced disruptions at the transcriptional and translational levels of ERα, ERβ and C3, as well as reducing lipid peroxidation and subsequently the level of oxidative stress within the uterus. More importantly, there were no obvious estrous cycle, morphological, hormonal, as well as expression and distribution of ERα, ERβ and C3 changes observed in rats treated with Tualang honey and Ficus deltoidea alone. In conclusion, we suggest that Tualang honey and Ficus deltoidea have the potential protective role to counter the toxicity effects of BPA on the female reproductive system, possibly by their phytochemical properties, and further future studies can be conducted to determine the mechanisms involved in such activities
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
