A Lexical Study of Diwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani
No full textIntroductionDiwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani demands special attention and research from various perspectives, due to its antiquity as well as the remarkable mastery of its author in poetic devices. However, it has not yet received serious examination in literary studies, evidently because there has been no printed version available. Among its many remarkable features is the inclusion of some rare words that cannot be found in other Persian manuscripts, or have not been listed in common Persian dictionaries, or if listed, are presented with no reliable evidence. The authors of this article aim to investigate these unexplored words. Literature ReviewIn 1934, a facsimile edition of Diwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani was published in London by Edward Edwards. This collection has not been extensively studied in literary and linguistic research, since there has not been any letterpress printed edition of it, and even the facsimile version had not been easily accessible until very recently. Published articles about Zulfaqar Sharwani include an entry under his name in the Encyclopedia of the World of Islam (Moravveji, 2019) and “Majd-i Hamgar’s Name in Diwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani” (Safari Aqqaleh, 2008). In the article “Thematization with Some Jewels in the Poetry of Azerbaijani Style” (Radfar and Esmaeili Tazekandi, 2011), the poetry of Zulfaqar Sharwani is examined from this thematic perspective. Additionally, Idgah Torghabei references some verses of Zulfaqar Sharwani in some of his works, such as the article “Pronunciation of Several Words in the Shahnameh” (2011). MethodologyThis article utilized library research methods. Having examined Diwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani, words that were either absent or listed without evidence in the Dehkhoda Dictionary were identified and subsequently searched in available text corpora such as the Academy of Persian Language and Literature, Ganjoor and Noormagz websites, and Noor Digital Library to find reliable explanations for their meanings. DiscussionThe Diwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani is estimated to contain slightly more than ten thousand couplets. Most of Zulfaqar's poetry is in the form of qasida, demonstrating the author’s mastery of composition; there are also numerous quatrains and ghazals in his collection. Zulfaqar extensively employs poetic imagery constructed with musical terms and concepts, indicating that he had a deeper understanding of music than a typical superficial acquaintance. Furthermore, the names of Iranian kings and pahlevans (champions) frequently appear throughout the work. Moreover, astronomical and astrological terminology plays a significant role in the poet’s imagery, suggesting his profound knowledge of these fields and possible education during his youth. His Diwan and poems also reveal the substantial influence of ancient pharmacology and medicine. Furthermore, Zulfaqar Sharwani also refers to numerous poets and writers preceding him such as Anwari, Azraqi, Am’aq, Sabir Termedhi, Onsori, Al-Ma’arri, Al-Farazdaq, Athir, and Falaki, and also mentions the works of people like Ibn Sina. He also speaks of Ferdowsi with great respect, acknowledging his influence on himself and considering him a mentor, believing Ferdowsi’s soul to be resting in eternal peace.In Diwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani, we encounter both simple and complex words that are not found in other texts and are not recorded in dictionaries. A number of these words may be considered dialectal variants which were not used in formal Persian; however, some of these words may have entered the Diwan due to the influence of the scribe’s dialect rather than the poet’s. A few examples of these rare words include âxora (آخُره), angâm (انگام), ēlvâra (ایلواره), târâ (تارا), and dastvenǰan (دستونجن). ConclusionDiwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani, an eloquent poet of the seventh century, is a comprehensive collection that, in addition to its literary and historical values, contains many rare and unique words. This article lists some of these words, emphasizing the necessity for Diwan-e Zulfaqar Sharwani to be printed with a critical and scholarly perspective, serving as a source of vocabulary for literary corpora. AcknowledgmentsThe authors express their utmost gratitude to Professor Ali Ashraf Sadeghi and other honorable members and officials at the Academy of Persian Language and Literature for providing access to most of the resources used in this article, without which this research could not have been possible

Design and fabrication of flatbread dough maker / Muhammad Iskandar Ahmad Zulfaqar and Nurrul Amilin Zainal Abidin
No full textFlatbreads were amongst the earliest processed foods, made throughout most of the world, where the grains are mashed into a paste or flour and then baked into a flatbread. Flatbreads traditionally ranging from one millimeter thick to a few centimeters thick so that they can be easily consumed. To date, there are still people using hand to make the flatbread dough for their business. The work of making flatbread dough are often time consuming and arduous, despite the simple process to make the dough. The available dough machine in the market are often small and thus not suitable for a large-scale business purpose. The dough maker usually can fit up to 1-2 kilogram of flour, and thus the process must be repeated few times before the desired output of dough is produced. Therefore, it is aims of this study design and fabricate a flatbread dough machine that can fit up to 5 kilograms of flour, aids in reducing the time consuming to make the flatbread dough and less taxing. The proposed machine will make use the concept and working principle of bicycle, where user will have to pedal the blade equipped in the front part by means of chain. Pedaling the cycle will make the blade rotating, thus kneading the flour until the desired dough is produced. The proposed machine is affordable, friendly user and can fit up to 5 kilograms per cycle and less taxing as the working principle is based on cycling mechanism
Tightening the employment of immigrants: a comparative analysis between Malaysia and Singapore / Nur Amirah Mohd Hanifah, Nur Ulfa Ghazali and Muhammad Zulfaqar al Basysyar Saharuddin
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the effectiveness of laws on foreign workers in Malaysia. Hitherto, the influx of foreign workers in Malaysia is too common, yet the situation has been overwhelming when illegal immigrants who enter Malaysia without a valid permit. Besides, this thesis discusses the inability of the law to control the influx of illegal immigrants. Additional issues involving migrant workers are also discussed such as issues permits, employment passes, and the impact of the influx of foreign workers. We are also able to identify the rights granted to foreign workers and the extent to which that right may be applied by them. The law such as the Employment Act 1955 and Immigration Act 1959/63 list the rights and procedures of foreign workers, but there is failure in the enforcement from the public authorities. In addition, comparative study with neighbouring country, Singapore is made as the country is capable of controlling the numbers of foreign workers. It is hoped that from this research, the country can amend the current laws to provide balance in employment sector as to prioritise the locals as well as dealing successfully to curb this situation

Artificial Potential Field with Discrete Map Transformation for Feasible Indoor Path Planning
No full textThis work considers the path planning problem of personal mobility vehicle (PMV) for indoor navigation using the Artificial Potential Field (APF) method. The APF method sometimes suffers from an infinite loop problem during the planning phase when the goal is blocked by obstacles with certain characteristics. To address the issue, this study deploys the map augmentation method for replanning. When infinite loop situations occur, the map is transformed and the search for drivable path is initiated. The method successfully generates a feasible trajectory when the map is rotated at a certain angle. The scenario of successful planning is shown in the result
