Designing a Postcode System for Arbil City Iraq
No full textAbstract—Today, as a result of developing and expanding cities, postal systems need to be devised to include a more robust sense of adaption and expansion for the growing city. An issue surrounding most current postcode systems such as the American Zip code and the UK postcode is the lack of direction and distance from a given point such as a city or urban centre.
The aim of this study is to design a postcode system based on a sense of direction and distance from the central of an area. This paper presents a new method of postcode design that provides a sense direction by using a diagonal division with area classification numbers according to the main directions (North, South, East and West). As such, a postal region is divided into several zones by using the outward section of the proposed postcode to form a sense of distance from a central point. This proposed arrangement will be beneficial for developing countries that have the desire to start designing their own postcode system and will facilitate the improvement of postal delivery for developed countries

Full text linkArtikel ini akan menganalisis bagaimana tradisi qirā’at al-Qur’an, sebagai bagian dari al-Qur’an itu sendiri, dan bagian dari living Qur’an juga perlu mendapatkan resepsi yang serius. Sebab, kelisanan al-Qur’an merupakan titik vokal yang banyak terjadi perbedaan di setiap daerah dan negara. Ada beberapa asusmsi mengapa penelitian ini layak untuk dimunculkan, pertama, qirā’at al-Qur’an merupakan salah satu pokok dari kelisanan al-Qur’an, dimana setiap masyarakat dan wilayah memiliki dialeknya masing-masing, termasuk turunnya al-Qur’an di Arab pada abad ke-7 dan dengan berbahasa Arab, kedua, untuk mengetahui, sejauh mana resepsi dan pengaruh di masyarakat dari kajian kitab faidhul barākat fī sab’il qirā’at karya K.H. Muhamad Arwani bin Muhamad Amin al-Qudsi yang berisi qira’at sab’ah al-Qur’an bagi alumni Pesantren an-Nur Ngrukem, Pendowoharjo, Sewon, Bantul, D.I.Yogyakarta.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
HERMENEUTIKA GRAMATIKAL: Telaah Epistemologi Kitab Faidhul BarÄkat FÄ« Sab’il Qira’at Karya K.H. Muhamad Arwani bin Muhamad Amin al-Qudsi
Full text linkAbstract: This article is aiming at revealing the linguistic aspects of the Qur'anic hermeneutics, in which the tradition of Qira'at (various ways of reading Qur’an) in Islam shows the existence of linguistic hermeneutic aspect. This research is essential to be conducted due to several reasons. First, the Prophet allowed a reading from a friend in some cases, in which dialect (lahjah) of each Arab region at that time is different. It implied that the truth of Qur'anic reading in absolute and singular terms. Second, the role of qira'at variances is able to influence the interpretation and meaning of the Qur’an. It inferred that the qira'at aspect also plays a role in revealing the purpose of the Qur'anic verses. The difference in reading the Qur’an itself accepts a variety of receptions, including one of ulama such as K.H. Arwani bin Muhammad Amin al-Qudsi. He is a prominent figure in Indonesia in terms of qira'at Alquran which is a reference for pesantren in Indonesia in studying the qira'at Qur'an, especially qira'at sab'ah. This study will examine the role of qira'at Alquran in Schleiermacher's grammatical hermeneutics discourse, through the epistemological search of the Faidhul BarÄkat book fá¿‘ Sab’il Qira’at by K.H.

Ada dua alasan mendasar, mengapa penelitian ini penting untuk dimunculkan. Pertama, dalam beberapa kasus, Nabi membolehkan sebuah bacaan dari sahabat, yang memang dialek (lahjah) masing-masing wilayah Arab pada saat itu berbeda, artinya, Nabi tidak memberikan kebenaran sebuah bacaan al-Qur’an secara absolut dan bersifat tunggal. Kedua, peranan perbedaan qira’at mampu mempengaruhi penafsiran dan makna al-Qur’an, artinya, aspek qira’at juga berperan untuk menguak maksud ayat-ayat al-Qur’an. Perbedaan bacaan al-Qur’an sendiri, mendapatkan beragam resepsi, tidak terkecuali bagi ulama Nusantara seperti K.H. Arwani bin Muhamad Amin al-Qudsi. Sosok K.H. Arwani bin Muhamad Amin al-Qudsi merupakan tokoh Nusantara dalam hal qira’at al-Qur’an yang banyak menjadi rujukan pesantren di Indonesia dalam mengkaji qira’at al-Qur’an, khususnya qira’at sab’ah. Penelitian ini akan mengupas peran qira’at al-Qur’an dalam diskursus hermeneutika gramatikal Schleiermacher, melalui penelusuran epistemologi kitab Faidhul BarÄkat fá¿‘ Sab’il Qira’at karya K.H.

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
