Old Fort
No full textLocated in Sururnagar, the eastern part of Hyderabad, the remains of this Qutb Shahi fort- palace and mosque was also called the fort of Sultan Nagar, and still later as Qila-yi Kohna, or old fort. Construction began in 1620 by Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah, but left incomplete when the Sultan fell ill, and the project was abandoned by his successor Abdullah Qutb Shah. It cost 300,000 huns. With two conventional minarets, the prayer chamber of this mosque has seven double arches. The central arch is much larger than others, flanked by three arches on each side.

No full textKebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Pahang, Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah al-Musta'in Billah ibni Almarhum Sultan Abu Bakar Ri 'ayatuddin alMuadzam Shah ialah Sultan yang keempat memerintah Pahang dalam jurai sultan-sultan dari keturunan Bendahara. Sebelum Pahang diperintah oleh sultan berketurunan Bendahara, negeri ini diperintah oleh sultan-sultan yang berketurunan dari Melaka. Seramai empat belas orang sultan dari keturunan Melaka (dengan Sultan Muhammad Shah sebagai sultan pertama dan Sultan Abdul Ghafar Mohaiyuddin Ri'ayat Shah sebagai sultan terakhir) ini yang sempat memerintah negeri Pahang dalam tempoh selama kira-kira 144 tahun (1470-1614 Masihi)
Algebraic Representation of Social Capital Matrix
No full textThis paper proposes a mathematical model based on a Boolean algebra involving a 44 social capital matrix [Shah (2008)], that emerges through interaction within and across individuals, communities, institutions and state. The framework provides a coding system for the existence or otherwise of various categories of social interaction. The model illustrates that social interaction can be neatly described in a format that facilitates the interpretation of social intra- and interactions among the four types of players in generating economic activity.Social Capital (Matrix), Linear Space, Interactive Systems, Boolean Algebra
Peristiwa-peristiwa Penting dalam Pemerintahan Dinasti Qajar di Bawah Muhammad Shah (1834-1848 M)
No full textQajar adalah sebuah kekuatan politik Persia (sekarang Iran) yang berkuasa dalam rentang waktu cukup lama sejak 1796 hingga 1925. Tulisan ini berusaha untuk mengungkap peristiwa-peristiwa penting dalam pemerintahan pengusa Qajar ketiga yakni di bawah Muhammad Shah dengan rentang waktu kekuasaannya sejak 1834 hingga wafatnya pada 1848. Metodologi penelitian yang dipakai adalah metode historis dengan langkah-langkahnya yakni pemilihan topik, pengumpulan sumber, verifikasi secara internal untuk menilai validitas kesaksian dalam sumber, melakukan penafsiran / interpretasi dan melakukan penulisan sejarah (historiografi). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peristiwa-peristiwa penting di masa kekuasaan Muhammad Shah ialah diawali usaha invasi atas Afghanistan yang gagal pada 1838. Muhammad Shah melancarkan kampanye militer lain melawan Agha Khan I pemimpin sekte Ismailiyah untuk mengganti posisinya sebagai penguasa Kerman. Agha Khan yang kalah kemudian mengungsi dan membangun basis sektenya di India. Peristiwa sangat penting berikutnya adalah kelahiran agama Babiyah di bawah Sayyid Ali yang berhasil mengguncang stabilitas politik dan sosial Persia antara tahun 1844 hingga kematian Muhammad Shah pada 1848

Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah
No full textDeccan, Golconde, vers 1675La Bibliothèque nationale de France, possède plusieurs albums originaires de Golconde et datant de la fin du XVII e siècle. Ces suites sont quelque peu stéréotypées, car il s'agit pour l'essentiel d'œuvres rétrospectives, copies de portraits de souverains, de princes et de dignitaires des cours mogholes, deccani, voire persanes. Nombre de ces volumes furent acquis par les voyageurs étrangers, Hollandais, Français et Anglais, qui les rapportaient comme souvenirs. Le volume exposé rassemble 29 portraits. La présence de souverains moghols et des cours de Bijapur et de Golconde laisse penser qu'il fut réalisé avant l'annexion complète de ces royaumes du Deccan dans l'empire moghol. Il semble qu'il ne subsiste pas de portrait contemporain du souverain Muhammad Qutb Shah de Golconde (régnant 1612-1626) ; pourtant, on devine dans cette effigie rétrospective, elle-même copie de copie, un peu du raffinement et du romantisme poétique caractéristique de la cour de Golconde.téléchargeabl

Rain or shine? Forecasting search process performance in exploratory search tasks
No full textMost information retrieval (IR) systems consider relevance, usefulness, and quality of information objects (documents, queries) for evaluation, prediction, and recommendation, often ignoring the underlying search process of information seeking. This may leave out opportunities for making recommendations that analyze the search process and/or recommend alternative search process instead of objects. To overcome this limitation, we investigated whether by analyzing a searcher’s current processes we could forecast his likelihood of achieving a certain level of success with respect to search performance in the future. We propose a machine-learning-based method to dynamically evaluate and predict search performance several time-steps ahead at each given time point of the search process during an exploratory search task. Our prediction method uses a collection of features extracted from expression of information need and coverage of information. For testing, we used log data collected from 4 user studies that included 216 users (96 individuals and 60 pairs). Our results show 80–90% accuracy in prediction depending on the number of time-steps ahead. In effect, the work reported here provides a framework for evaluating search processes during exploratory search tasks and predicting search performance. Importantly, the proposed approach is based on user processes and is independent of any IR system.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Shah, C., Hendahewa, C. and González-Ibáñez, R.
