Bilden av Muhammed : en jämförelse av bilden hos några troende muslimer och den man finner i religionshistorisk litteratur
No full textUtifrån en genomgång av den religionshistoriska litteraturen har följande framkommit: • Muhammed framställs som en genomärlig person som trodde starkt på sina andliga och religiösa upplevelser. Han var samtidigt bekant med de religiösa och politiska omständigheter som rådde i dåtidens Arabien. I staden Medina märks mer hans politiska egenskaper och han lyckas med sin skicklighet bilda ett nytt samhälle och åstadkomma en stor förändring i stora delen av Arabien under sina levnadsår. • Han beskrivs både som en religiös och politisk person. Det sägs också att på den tiden spelade religion och religiositet en viktig roll både i de stora imperiernas statsförvaltning och i enskilda människors liv. • Muhammeds liv beskrivs i två perioder. I den ena beskrivs han som en intensiv religiös och andlig person i staden Mecka medan i den andra beskrivs han mera som en politisk och skicklig härförare i staden Medina. Utifrån de genomförda intervjuerna har följande framkommit: • Muhammed anses vara en vanlig människa som valdes av Gud för att visa den rätta vägen för människorna. Muhammed beskrivs som en lugn, vänlig, faderlig och barmhärtig person. • Mina intervjupersoner tycker att vi människor lätt kan göra fel och synda medan Gud via sitt sändebud (Muhammed) hjälper oss att hitta den rätta vägen. • Man anser att Muhammed brukade lösa sina konflikter med andra på fredliga sätt. Idag glömmer en del muslimer den mjuka, vänliga, fredliga sidan av islam i Koranen och i Muhammeds sunna. • Bilden av Muhammed präglas av deras uppväxtmiljö, Koranen, Muhammeds sunna och haditherna

The Third Generation of OSS: A Three-Stage Evolution from Gift to Commerce-Economy
No full textPart 3: Industry PapersInternational audienceLinux is penetrating into mobile software as the basis for a mobile middleware platform. It is accelerating the increasing visibility of open source software (OSS) components in mobile middleware platforms. Considering the 10-million lines of code of OSS-based industrial platforms such as a mobile middleware platform, engagement in foundations is inevitable for large-scale packages of OSS for industrial solutions. The author discusses the driving factors toward a foundation-based OSS and the transition of the underlying economy types to analyze the transitions to the third-generation OSS
Yttrandefrihet - en idéanalytisk studie av debatten om Lars Vilks teckning av profeten Muhammed som rondellhund
No full textNerikes Allehanda publicerade år 2007 konstnären Lars Vilks teckning av profeten Muhammed som rondellhund. Publiceringen följdes av en debatt i media angående yttrandefrihet. Vårt syfte är att presentera klarhet i debatten och den metod vi har valt att använda är en beskrivande idéanalys. Vårt analysverktyg är fyra dimensioner där vi har kategoriserat tidningsartiklar efter åsiktsinriktning för att urskilja idéer som från början inte varit självklara. Då ständig diskussion om demokratiska värden är viktigt har vi även valt att fråga oss huruvida denna debatt har tillfört den svenska demokratin något värdefullt. För att besvara detta har vi utgått från Ulf Petäjäs forskning om yttrandefrihet. Vår undersökning visar att yttrandefrihet är ett värde som många verkar ta för givet, samt att det saknas kunskap om detta värde, vilket i sig inte är bra för demokratin. Avslutningsvis efterlyser vi mer forskning i ämnet, då denna okunskap kan bero på avsaknaden av detta
Nottingham's Owd 'Oss Mummers and their scrapbooks
No full textNottingham's Owd 'Oss Mummers were formed in the late 1960s as an offshoot of the Nottingham Traditional Music Club, and continued into the 1980s. They have not totally disappeared, although they are now in new guises. The author joined them shortly after their formation, and after going to college performed with them in the late 1970s. For nearly all the time they existed, the Owd 'Oss Mummers maintained scrap books in which they lodged tour reports, photographs, press cuttings and other ephemera. The scrapbooks are now showing the ravages of time, with items becoming unstuck, bindings disintegrating, and so forth. This talk will outline the history of the group, illustrated with excerpts from the scrapbooks and personal reminiscences. It will also explore some of the issues regarding the long term conservation and preservation of such scrapbooks
Matching terms of quality models and meta-models: toward a unified meta-model of OSS quality
No full text© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Context: In the last two decades, open-source software (OSS) has gained increasing attention due to its voluntary supporters, growing community, and ease of accessibility in cloud repositories. Standardization in OSS quality is of vital importance as a communication vehicle for stakeholders in identifying and selecting high-quality products. Thus, meta-models help to define a standardized language and enable to propose quality models that can be used to perform comparable measurements. Objective: Considering the lack of a comprehensive meta-model of OSS quality in the literature, there appears a need to see a more complete picture of OSS quality and to represent its concepts more formally. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to develop a solid base for a comprehensive meta-model of OSS quality to create a common understanding among stakeholders. Method: A systematic way has been followed toward developing a common structure, defining a consistent terminology and, finally, providing a meta-model of OSS quality. In this context, (1) the common structure of the quality models for OSS has been investigated, (2) the terms of the general-purpose meta-models of software quality have been analyzed based on the international standards, and (3) the terms of the quality models for OSS have been mapped with the elements of these meta-models. Results: An initial meta-model of OSS quality, which employs a unified structure from the OSS quality models and eliminates the inconsistencies determined in the general-purpose meta-models of software quality, has been proposed and an implementation of this meta-model has been demonstrated. Conclusion: This initial meta-model of OSS quality with a standard terminology can be taken as a guide by researchers who will propose or revise their OSS quality models. It will allow developing multiple OSS quality models with homogenous structure and terms, and also enable comparing the evaluation results obtained by these models
The Relevance of Teachers’ Practical Knowledge in the Development of Teacher Education Programs
No full textTeacher education programs have evolved mostly from the scholarly world’s perspective, which can eventually impact the work that practitioners face on an everyday basis, particularly in regard to dealing with their students. This article of reflection addresses aspects related to a Brazilian teacher’s personal practical knowledge and the role of practitioners’ expertise in dealing with adolescent students (6th to 9th graders). It advocates that teachers’ personal practical knowledge is likely to evolve into professional knowledge provided that it is analyzed, verified, and improved. Insights from second language teacher education, reflexive thoughts, and projects developed by the author illustrate what can be considered when developing strategies that are consistent with the envisioned teacher education programs

Across The Great Divide
No full textFree Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is licensed to allow users the freedom to copy, reuse, study and develop the software. As a term which efficiently encompasses both ‘free software’ and ‘open-source’ models, FLOSS may offer music practitioners and researchers the opportunity to develop and use such software without becoming mired in a particular stance. In this article, parallels between FLOSS and experimental music are explored, with a view to highlighting their compatibility. Through reflection on the recent composition, recording and distribution of three text scores, this article examines how the application of a FLOSS framework may assist with such work in an academic setting and how FLOSS tools might be utilized in such settings in the future as they become more prevalent, more reliable and more stable
