Peranan gerakan wahabiyah dalam membantu mewujudkan pemerintahan raja abdul aziz di arab saudi
No full textMunculnya persekutuan doktrin Wahabi dan kekuatan Saudi telah mulai sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu. Pada abad ke-20, dua perkembangan transformasi faham Wahabi dan kerajaan Saudi di dalam kekuatan utama dunia Islam terus berlanjut dan berlangsung hingga saat ini. Di mana Syeikh Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud (1902-1953) memerankan dengan lihai perjuangan antara Turki di satu sisi dan ekspansi kekuasaan Inggris di Arabia Selatan di sisi lain. Faham Wahabi (Muhammad Ibn Abd Wahab, 1703-1792) yang pada abad 18 di Arabia adalah merupakan respon penting terhadap perubahan-perubahan keadaan pada saat itu. dimana salah satu dari perubahan ini adalah mengembalikan Islam kepada ajaran yang murni sesuai al-Qur�an dan Sunnah Nabi. Hal ini berlangsung dalam waktu yang lama, di mana semua itu memerlukan proses perlahan dan bertahap yang dimulai dari daerah-daerah terpencil dunia Islam. Tulisan ini menyajikan serta memfokuskan kajian tentang bagaimana peranan gerakan Wahabiyah dalam membantu mewujudkan pemerintahan raja Abdul Aziz di Arab Saudi. Pada masa ini (Raja Abdul Aziz) tanpa adanya gerakan Wahabi, maka keluarga Sa�ud mungkin tidak akan mempunyai kesempatan besar untuk menuntut suatu Semenanjung yang demikian luasnya. Gerakan Wahabi juga merupakan sumber legitimasi yang tidak putus-putusnya bagi rezim Saudi. Raja Abdul Aziz juga menjadikan gerakan Wahabi sebagai ideologi dalam pemerintahannya. Dalam hal ini, penulis juga berharap tulisan ini dapat mengisi mata rantai sejarah peranan gerakan Wahabiyah dalam membantu mewujudkan pemerintahan Raja Abdul Aziz di Arab Saudi, sehingga dapat memberikan banyak manfaat dan pengetahuan dalam penulisan sejarah selanjutnya
Raja Rao: the Serpent and the Rope. A dialogue between the author, the text and the reader
No full textIshodišna teza ovog rada je istraživanje mogućnosti onoga što je Bahtin nazvao kreativnim hronotopom, to jest dijalogom na relaciji autortekst-čitalac, na globalnom nivou, a na primeru romana Radže Raoa Zmija i uže. To istraživanje je sprovedeno u dva glavna dela rada. Prvi deo čini kratki kritički prikaz tri različita čitanja navedenog romana u kom su date osnovne postavke ta tri tumačenja, te njihove sličnosti, razlike i eventuale manjkavosti. Drugi deo čini hronotopsko tumačenje romana sa ciljem da se pruži polazišna osnova za mogućnost istovremenih različitih tumačenja u okviru Bahtinovih postavki o kreativnom hronotopu. Hronotopsko tumačenje zasnovano je na modifikacijama Bahtinove teorije hronotopa koju su dali Šmit i Brun, a fokus tumačenja je na kategorijama vremena i prostora, te na tumačenju likova i njihovih meĎuodnosa i tumačenju motiva. U zaključnom poglavlju se pored sumiranja rezultata nudi modifikacija koncepcije kreativnog hrotonopa zasnovana na koncepciji translokaliteta.The point of departure for this article is to explorethe possibilities of Bakhtin’s creative chronotope, i.e. the dialogue between the author, text and reader,using the example of Raja Rao’s novel The Serpent and the Rope.The article consists of two major parts. The first partpresentsa short critical survey of three different interpretations. It offers basicassumptions for these three interpretations,expoundingtheir similarities, differences, and possible flaws. The second part is an attempt at achronotopic interpretation of the novel, which offers a starting point for the possibility of simultaneous different interpretations in the scope of Bakhtin’s ideas about the creative chronotope. The chronotopic interpretation is based on modifications of Bakhtin’s theory of chronotope offered by Schmidt and Bruun, and it focuses on the categories of time and space, on interpretation of characters, relations between characters and their motives.The conclusion offersasummary of the results and a proposed modification of the theory of the creative chronotope based on the conception of translocality
Megaselia bangiensis Zuha & Disney 2018, sp. nov.
No full textMegaselia bangiensis sp. nov. (Figs 1–6) Description. Male only. The specimen is somewhat faded and in particular the wings beyond the costa are so bleached that neither the thin veins nor the boundaries of the membrane beyond the costa are discernible. Frons as Fig. 1, with 130–136 hairs and dense but very small microtrichia. SAs very unequal. The antials lower on frons than anterolaterals, and about as far from upper SAs as either is from an AL bristle. Mediolateral row convex, with the mediolaterals clearly below pre-ocellars but otherwise the four bristles about equally spaced. Cheek with two bristles and jowl with two, which are a little longer but equally fine. Postpedicels yellow, without SPS vesicles. Palps yellow, at most a fifth as broad as postpedicel but about 1.4 times as long as breadth of latter, with seven bristles, the 2–3 apical ones being longest, and 2–3 hairs. Labrum pale and about 0.7 times as wide as a postpedicel. Labella paler than palps and with numerous short spinules below. Thorax as Fig. 2, with two notopleural bristles and no cleft in front of these. Mesopleuron bare. Scutellum with an anterior pair of hairs and a posterior pair of bristles. Abdominal tergites as Fig. 2, with moderate hairs some of which are longer posterolaterally, especially on T2 and T6 (Fig. 3). Venter (Fig. 2) with hairs on segments 3–6 at least as long as those on tergites. Hypopygium (Figs 3–5) with a pale anal tube. Anal tube length shorter than epandrium. Hairs on proctiger and cercus longer than hairs on epandrium. Hypandrium left lobe pale (Fig. 4) and with microtrichia ending before its tapered tip. The right lobe is vestigial (Fig. 5). Legs brown to yellowish brown. Fore tarsus with posterodorsal hair palisade on segments 1–4 and 5 clearly longer than 4. Dorsal hair palisade of mid tibia extends about 0.8 times its length. Hairs below basal half of hind femur (Fig. 6) longer than those of anteroventral row of outer half. Hind tibia with 11–12 only moderately differentiated posterodorsal hairs, without anterodorsals, and spinules of apical combs simple. Wing length and costal index not discernible. Costal ratios 1.8: 1.5: 1. Costal cilia (of section 3) 0.04 mm long. Hair at base of vein 3. With 3 axillary bristles, the outer being 0.05–0.06 mm long. Sc obscure and not reaching R1. Thick veins yellowish brown (wing beyond costa obscure). Haltere knob brown. Etymology. The name refers to the city location where the specimen was collected. Material. Holotype, ♂, MALAYSIA: Selangor, Bangi, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, rabbit carcass, 18.xii.2010 (UCZM, 41–48) Recognition. In the keys of Borgmeier (1967) this species will belong to either Group VII or VIII, depending on the costal index. In Group VII it will run to couplet 67, which the relative length of the costal index distinguishes the two options, but the first option leads to couplet 68, where both options are ruled out. Proceeding to couplet 69, again the differing CIs are the choice presented. Taking the first option the species are excluded on differences in the hypopygia and/or the costal ratios. The second option leads on to couplet 79, where neither species fits as the first option has different costal ratios and the median row of frontal bristles are all at the same level. The second option has yellow hind femora, stronger lower SA bristles and only two axillary bristles.Published as part of Zuha, Raja Muhammad & Disney, R. Henry L., 2018, Four new Megaselia species (Diptera: Phoridae) from animal carcasses in Bangi, Malaysia, pp. 551-561 in Zootaxa 4508 (4) on page 552, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4508.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/260752
A critical analysis of media discourse on the South African broadband policy
No full textBroadband Internet access promises a number of socio-economic benefits to citizens of developing countries like South Africa (SA). However poor policy outcomes of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), particularly in the area of poverty alleviation are evident in SA. This study utilizes Citation Analysis and Habermasien Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) for understanding media discourse on the SA Broadband Policy formulation process and focuses on the impact and implications of the discourse. Highlighting distortions in these discourses will enable the general public and decision makers to formulate a better informed opinion and should facilitate better understanding and decision making on the costs, need and relevance of broadband access
Teologie a humor v eposu Pamětná tragoedia Augustina Doležala
No full textThis master thesis is concerned with biblical epic poem (or "epos") by Slovak author Augustin Dolezal, called Memorial Tragedy (1791, originally in Czech language). In this type of genre author takes well known biblical stories, such as fall of man or murder of Abel and adds his own fabricated circumstances. In this particular case author is trying to provide reader with catechesis and religious education on top the tale. Tragedy is mainly focused on the nature of sin and its connection to human condition, fall of man and possibility of evil in the world. Method of this paper is mainly theme analysis and comparison with Bible and its well known exegesis throughout the history. It is focused on comicality, which shall be defined in the theoretical part. Practical part attempts to come up with interpretation of the text in such a way, that certain themes, tropes or figures from the literary text are interconnected with certain features of comicality and shown as such. Keywords: Comicality, Biblical Epic Poem, Augustin Dolezal, Baroque, Classicism, CarnivalesqueTáto diplomová práca sa zaoberá biblickým eposom od slovenského autora Augustína Doležala s názvom Pamětná celému světu Tragoedia (1791). Ide o žáner, ktorý k už známym biblických udalostiam, v tomto prípade vyhnanie z raja a vražda Ábela, pridáva autorom dotvorené okolnosti. Na tomto príbehovom podklade sa autor snaží čitateľovi poskytnúť katechézu a náboženské vzdelávanie. Tragoedia sa zameriava na otázky ako hriech, jeho podstata a súvis s ľudskou prirodzenosťou, vyhnanie z raja a zlo vo svete. Práca pristupuje k textu metódou motivickej analýzy a porovnávania s biblickým zdrojom a tradíciou. Zameriava sa na komiku, ktorú sa v teoretickej časti snaží vymedziť. V praktickej časti prináša interpretáciu, ktorá zohľadňuje aspekt komiky, a to tak, že isté motívy, literárne obraty alebo prvky a objekty z textu, sú naviazané na niektoré charakteristiky komiky.

Nanosecond Pulse Generation with Silver Nanoparticle Saturable Absorber
No full textNanosecond pulse generation in an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) passively mode-locked by a silver nanoparticle (SNP)-based saturable absorber (SA) is experimentally demonstrated. The SA is fabricated by depositing a nanosized SNP layer onto the surface of polyvinyl alcohol film through the thermal evaporation process. By inserting the SA into an EDFL cavity, stable mode-locked operation is achieved at 1561.5nm with the maximum pulse energy up to 52.3 nJ. The laser operates at a pulse repetition frequency of 1.0MHz with a pulse width of 202 ns. These results suggest that SNPs could be developed as an effective SA for mode-locking pulse generation. © 2019 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd
Variáveis associadas ao desempenho cognitivo tardio de pacientes com traumatismo crânio-encefálico grave
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências MédicasObjetivos: O trauma cranioencefalico (TCE) e uma das principais causas de mortalidade e morbidade. Ha raros estudos prospectivos que investigam a associacao de variaveis clinicas e laboratoriais da fase aguda do TCE e o prognostico cognitivo tardio dos pacientes vitimas de TCE. Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar variaveis clinicas, laboratoriais e biomarcadores de lesao tecidual associados ao prognostico cognitivo em pacientes vitimas de TCE. Metodos: Foram coletadas prospectivamente as variaveis da internacao hospitalar de 234 pacientes consecutivos com TCE grave (GCS admissao . 8). Dos 172 sobreviventes, uma amostra representada de 46 pacientes realizaram avaliacao cognitiva (composta de 15 testes neuropsicologicos) em media 3 (+ - 1,8) anos apos a hospitalizacao. Um sub-grupo de 22 pacientes que foram avaliados cognitivamente realizaram analise dos niveis plasmaticos de TBARS (indicativo de dano por estresse oxidativo a lipideos) e Carbonil (indicador de dano por estresse oxidativo a proteinas) em amostras de sangue coletadas na fase aguda de TCE (mediana de 10, 30 e 70 horas apos o impacto do TCE). Um grupo controle (n=23) pareado por sexo, idade e nivel socio-educacional foi avaliado cognitivamente para comparacao com os pacientes. Resultados: A media de idade dos pacientes foi 34 (+ - 13) anos sendo 85% do sexo masculino, com escolaridade media de 9 (+ - 4,7) anos. Os pacientes apresentaram um desempenho inferior em todos os testes neuropsicologicos. A analise por regressao linear evidenciou uma forte associacao independente (R coeficiente = 0,6 a 0,8) entre maior escolaridade e menor idade e o desempenho cognitivo em 14 dos 15 testes neuropsicologicos avaliados. O desempenho nos testes cognitivos nao esteve associado ao genero, escore de admissao na Escala de Coma de Glasgow (ECG), exame das pupilas, presenca de trauma em outros orgaos, e classificacao da escala de Marshall na tomografia computadorizada na admissao (TC). Niveis elevados de glicose e presenca de hemorragia sub-aracnoide na TC mostraram-se independentemente associados a um menor desempenho no teste de Retencao de Aprendizagem de Rey e de Memoria Logica respectivamente. Embora os niveis plasmaticos de TBARS e Carbonil tenham sido significativamente elevados na fase aguda do TCE, estes biomarcadores nao se mostraram associados ao desempenho cognitivo dos pacientes. Conclusoes: Baixa escolaridade e idade mais avancada sao preditores independentes de pior desempenho cognitivo tardio apos o TCE grave. O exame de TC e glicemia mostraram limitada capacidade de predicao do desempenho cognitivo enquanto que o exame das pupilas, ECG na admissao, presenca de trauma associado nao foram preditores do desempenho em nenhum dos testes neuropsicologicos avaliados. A medida dos niveis plasmaticos de TBARS e Carbonil tambem nao se mostrou associada com o desempenho cognitivo dos pacientes. A identificacao de variaveis clinicas e laboratoriais associadas ao prognostico cognitivo apos o TCE grave permanece um desafio para a area de neuropsicologia clinica
Integrated neuro-evolution-based computing solver for dynamics of nonlinear corneal shape model numerically
No full text[EN]In this study, bio-inspired computational techniques have been exploited to get the numerical solution of a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem arising in the modelling of the corneal shape. The computational process of modelling and optimization makes enormously straightforward to obtain accurate approximate solutions of the corneal shape models through artificial neural networks, pattern search (PS), genetic algorithms (GAs), simulated annealing (SA), active-set technique (AST), interior-point technique, sequential quadratic programming and their hybrid forms based on GA–AST, PS–AST and SA–AST. Numerical results show that the designed solvers provide a reasonable precision and efficiency with minimal computational cost. The efficacy of the proposed computing strategies is also investigated through a descriptive statistical analysis by means of histogram illustrations, probability plots and one-way analysis of variance
Album de trente portraits de princes et dignitaires du temps de l'empereur Aurangzeb
No full textGolconde, vers 1706-1707À gauche : Muhammad Azam, fils d'Aurangzeb : Prince Muhammad Azam Shah, troisième fils d'Aurangzeb et de la Begum Dilras Banu, fille de Shah Nawaz Khan Safawi. Selon le testament d'Aurangzeb, l'empire devait être divisé entre ses trois fils survivants. Azam Shah refusa ce partage, voulant obtenir tout le pouvoir. À droite : Raja Man Singh , premier commandant des Rajputs. Cet album est le premier ouvrage indien entré dans la collection du Cabinet des département des Estampes et de la Photographie du roi. Il s'agit d'un de ces albums du Deccan, suites de portraits de souverains et dignitaires indiens comme il s'en peignit en grand nombre vers la fin du XVII e et au début du XVIII e siècle. À partir de 1652, Aurangzeb (régnant 1658-1707) passa la majeure partie de son existence dans cette région pour y consolider son pouvoir et agrandir son empire. Le présent album ne comporte que des membres de sa famille et de la cour. Les portraits y sont très stéréotypés : la forme des turbans distingue les hindous des musulmans ; les empereurs et les membres de leur famille portent des aigrettes noires à leur turban, ainsi que de nombreux bijoux ; les seigneurs rajputs n'ont que des moustaches.téléchargeabl
