Comparative analysis of Dr. Mohsin Khan and Maulawi Sher Ali's translation of surah Adh Dhuha and Ash Sharh
Full text linkBeing a Quran translator is not an easy activity, because Al Quran has a very beautiful language with high literature. Of course translating the Qur'an has a different level of difficulty with translating other texts. Both Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali have translated the Qur'an very well, so it is easy to be understood by the reader from a word. This is because both translators translate the Qur'an accurately and can answer the problems of life with the point of view of the Quran. Described in plain language and not complicated. The main problem in this research is the differences and similarities of semantic aspects that influence the translation of the work of Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali. The results of this study indicate that the lexical semantic translation style that influences the difference and its perspectives is in terms of its purpose. In translating the Qur'an, Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali are not only influenced by linguistic factors, but are also influenced by extralinguistics factors such as circumstances when translating and the science background of both translators in translating the Qur'an. In translating the Qur’an verses, Dr. Mohsin Khan is simple. This can be seen in his translation work. The first interpretation is done by giving the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an, then giving a global interpretation, without beginning with the explanation of the meaning of the word. By not adding many notes in his commentary, as if Dr. Mohsin Khan wants to invite readers to focus on dialogue with god. While MaulawiSher Ali in translating Quran verse many provide footnotes or other translation options. With the explanation, the author has the opinion that what is done by MaulawiSher Ali is to clarify and facilitate the reader in understanding the meaning of the verses of Quran

Financial Development and Economic Growth: Evidence from a Heterogeneous Panel of High Income Countries
Full text linkThis paper examines the empirical relationship between financial development and economic growth for high income countries. The study focuses on both indirect finance and direct finance, separately as well as jointly. Applying the methodology of Nair-Reichert and Weinhold (2001) for causality analysis in heterogeneous panel data, two sets of results are reported. First, the evidence regarding the relationship between financial development and economic growth from a contemporaneous non-dynamic fixed effects panel estimation is mixed. Negative and statistically significant estimates of the coefficient of the inflation and financial development interaction variable indicate that financial sector development may even be harmful to economic growth when inflation is rising. Second, in contrast with the recent evidence of Beck and Levine (2003), heterogeneous panel causality analysis applied on a refined model indicates that there is no definite evidence that finance spurs economic growth or growth spurs finance. Most of our findings are in line with the Lucas (1988) view that the importance of financial matters is over-stressed. The only exception is the case of activity in stock markets where our result supports the Robinson (1952) view that finance follows enterprise.
Radar sensor based machine learning approach for precise vehicle position estimation
Full text linkEstimating vehicles’ position precisely is essential in Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) for their safe, autonomous, and reliable operation. The conventional approaches used for vehicles’ position estimation, like Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), pose significant data delays and data transmission errors, which render them ineffective in achieving precision in vehicles’ position estimation, especially under dynamic environments. Moreover, the existing radar-based approaches proposed for position estimation utilize the static values of range and azimuth, which make them inefficient in highly dynamic environments. In this paper, we propose a radar-based relative vehicle positioning estimation method. In the proposed method, the dynamic range and azimuth of a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave radar is utilized to precisely estimate a vehicle’s position. In the position estimation process, the speed of the vehicle equipped with the radar sensor, called the reference vehicle, is considered such that a change in the vehicle’s speed changes the range and azimuth of the radar sensor. For relative position estimation, the distance and relative speed between the reference vehicle and a nearby vehicle are used. To this end, only those vehicles are considered that have a higher possibility of coming in contact with the reference vehicle. The data recorded by the radar sensor is subsequently utilized to calculate the precision and intersection Over Union (IOU) values. You Only Look Once (YOLO) version 4 is utilized to calculate precision and IOU values from the data captured using the radar sensor. The performance is evaluated under various real-time traffic scenarios in a MATLAB-based simulator. Results show that our proposed method achieves 80.0% precision in position estimation and obtains an IOU value up to 87.14%, thereby outperforming the state-of-the-art

Joint Optimization of Semi-Passive IRS Phase Shifts and NOMA Power Coefficients for Cooperative CRNs
Full text linkWe investigate the incorporation of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) into cooperative spectrum-sharing cognitive radio networks (CRNs). The CRN consists of a primary user (PU) and multiple secondary users (SUs). There are two transmission phases. In the first phase, the primary transmitter is assisted by an IRS to serve the primary user (PU). This arrangement allows the primary network to allocate a part of its spectrum to the users within the secondary network. In the subsequent phase, the secondary transmitter (ST) employs a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission technique to simultaneously serve the PU and secondary users (SUs). By utilizing a semi-passive IRS, both data transmission to the PU and channel estimation of SUs are performed simultaneously during the first transmission phase. The main objective is to improve the weighted sum-rate of the CRN through a joint optimization of the NOMA power coefficients and IRS phase adjustments during the second transmission phase. We propose an effective algorithm that breaks down the primary sum-rate maximization problem into two sub-problems where IRS phase shifts are computed once at the beginning of the algorithm. Through simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed algorithm yields substantial gains in the sum-rate performance compared to existing methods

Full text linkThe study aims at exploring the surrealist elements in Mohsin Hamid's novel Exit West. It analyzes the motifs and a technique employed by Hamid, and discusses how they contribute to the overall themes of displacement, migration, and identity in the novel. The study also examines how Hamid uses surrealist imagery, dream-like sequences, and unconventional perspectives to depict the characters' experiences of dislocation and otherness. The knowledge of the elements of surrealism will add depth and nuance to the novel's exploration of complex and timely issues. Using a close reading approach to the selected passages, the paper evaluates the ways in which the author employs surrealist techniques to challenge conventional notions of time, space, and reality, and to convey the experiences of displacement, migration, and the erosion of identity. Through the knowledge of surrealism in the context of the novel, the readers can gain a greater understanding of the power of the imagination to shape their understanding of the world and human experience
