The role of the accused in English and Islamic criminal justice
No full textThis thesis is a comparative study of the role of the accused in the systems of
English and Islamic criminal justice. It seeks to explore the underlying
relationship between the individual and the state through an historical, structural
and contextual analysis of their rules relating to questioning and of confessions.
The analysis of the English system covers the period 1800 to 1984, with
particular reference to developments during the nineteenth century when the
foundations for the modern English state were established. The analysis of the
Islamic system combines traditionally Islamic and modern methods, assessing the
"Islamisation" movement in Malaysia through a religico-structural understanding
of juristic opinion from the four main schools of Sunnite jurisprudence.
The thesis contributes to existing knowledge on a number of levels: first, it
questions and revises the "myth" of "progress" that has dominated observations
of the history of the English criminal justice system; second, it elucidates the
relationship between Islamic law in theory and the law that is applied and
proposed in its name in Muslim states; third, it provides an analytical framework
for drawing comparisons between the underlying values of the systems of English
and Islamic criminal justice.
While acknowledging fundamental differences in terms of outlook and
articulation, the author concludes there are important similarities expressed
through such notions as "suspect" in the English system and "kafir"I"fasiq" in the
Islamic. These act as intermediate constitutional categories to whom the state
owe less protection. But the author notes also that these similarities are not
observed necessarily in the "law" which is implemented or proposed in Muslim
states; exact correspondence depends upon the over-arching political structure
and the institution of Caliphate.
The thesis is divided into six chapters: chapter one sets out the conventional view
of the historical development of English criminal procedure and evidence;
chapter two subjects that to a critique and chapter three offers a revised thesis.
Chapter four, explores methods for interpreting and explaining Islam; chapter
five sets out rules relating to confessions and questioning according to the four
Sunni schools; chapter six puts them into "context" through an examination of
the "Islamisation" process in Malaysia
“Madar e Narasai mein” by Sayed Mubarak Shah and Alliteration
No full textAlliteration is an important and rare poetic device being used by poets for the creation of musical connotation and harmonious effect to their creations. It sounds very pleasantly when it is read loudly. It is not the requisite part of poetry but alliteration adds some extra beauty to poetic verses. Compared to English, Urdu poets have used this poetic device in many innovative ways and have been very successful. Urdu poets also used this poetic device for the expression of their artistic and poetic abilities that as result dozens of types of Sanate Tajnis have come into being. Application of Sanat e Tajness is found more or less in every poet. Syed Mubarak Shah is one of the renowned poets of present era who used this poetic device very aptly and effectively that not only does it sound good to the ears, but also adds to the meaning immensely. He has used this poetic device so often that it would require a separate dissertation to cover it, so only his one poetic collection i.e. ‘Madar e Narsai Mein’ is reviewed here

Effect of turbulence modeling on hydrodynamics of a turbulent contact absorber
No full textA computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study is conducted to find a suitable two equation turbulence model for accurate prediction of hydrodynamics of an inhouse turbulence contact absorber (TCA) at high gas and liquid velocities. Based on the multi-fluid Eulerian approach, hydrodynamics of TCA is simulated by incorporating three turbulence models i.e. standard k-epsilon model, RNG k-epsilon model and SST k-omega model in ANSYS Fluent (R). The solid phase stresses were closed by using the kinetic theory of granular flows (KTGF). TCA hydrodynamics parameters; expanded bed height and bed pressure drop were used to compare the results of this study with experimental data and also with earlier numerical study published with laminar viscous model. It was found that the RNG k-epsilon model predicted the bed height and pressure drop better than its counterparts. To accurately find the effects of secondary phase turbulence, two RNG k-epsilon model options i-e. per phase and dispersed were also evaluated. The results show that the per phase option of RNG k-epsilon model produced the expanded bed height and pressure drop in close agreement with available experimental data at similar operating conditions.Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS)Second author acknowledges the fellowship she received from Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS) to complete her MS in Process Engineering.

الشيخ السيّد نفيس الحسيني رحمة اللہ علیہ حیاتہ و آثارہ: SAYYED NAFEES Al-HUSSAINI: LIFE AND WORK
No full textSayyed Nafees Al-Hussaini, may God have mercy on him, was of high lineage, a great Sufi, a talented poet, a great author, and a professor. His full name was Sayyed Anwar Hussain S/O Sayyed Muhammad Ashraf Ali. Sayyed Nafees Al-Husseini was born on Saturday 13 Dhul-Qi’dah in the year 1351 AH, corresponding to March 11, 1933 AD, in the village of Kahoriala in the Sialkot District. He did not study in Arab Islamic religious schools and was not a graduate of Islamic universities, but God Almighty gave him knowledge, extensive information from Himself, and insight. Sayyed Nafees says that he moved from Faisalabad to Lahore in the month of Zul-Hajj in the year 1370 AH/September 1951 AD. Here, after a short time, I met the writer and calligrapher Taj al-Din, known as Zarrin. Sayyed Nafees used to teach people the art of calligraphy and teach students who longed to teach writing and the art of calligraphy. Sayyed Nafees was a talented poet, and his passion for poetry was innate to him. He started reciting poetry when he was a high school student. He wrote poetry by calling him “Zaidi” and “Nafees.” The subject of his poetry was love for the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and love for his family and companions. He published collections of his poetry, “Nafa’is al-Nabi(SAAW)” and “Barg e Gul”. Sayyed Nafees Al-Hussaini died on February 5, 2008 AD. Abd al-Rashid Qamar says about him: “There is no doubt that Sayyed Nafees al-Hussaini was elected by God. Divine power opened the door to spirituality before him during his writing. According to people of thought and theory, Sayyed was a religious leader.” I hope this article may help the readers to enhance knowledge about the great Sufi, a talented poet and a great author
Trend of Research Visualization of Sociology of Education from 2001 to 2020: A Bibliometric Analysis
No full textThis paper is designed to evaluate sociology of knowledge, sociology of education, educational sociology, sociology, and education using bibliometric analysis from 2001 to 2020. The main purpose is to consolidate the published scholarship on the sociology of education in the Web of Science indexed documents. There was a lack of measurable quantities on the subject. We used the bibliometric analysis and a total of 1698 published documents were found. The study findings showed that the topic of \u27sociology of knowledge\u27 was on top with a total number of 1698 publications, 1392 articles as a type of published documents, 1236 publications in English, and a considerable increase in publications as per years were found. The top author named Young M was found with 504 citations and 8 documents started from 2001. Similarly, the Department of Sociology was on the top out of 1088 organization, United States (US) was on the top out of 40 countries, and sociology of knowledge as a keyword out of 4266. Further, the British Journal of Sociology of Education was placed at the top of sources out of 828, and the Economic Social Research Council ESRC as a top funding agency. We have presented the trend of data in tables and figures
Anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2018
No full textAnemia is a globally widespread condition in women and is associated with reduced economic productivity and increased mortality worldwide. Here we map annual 2000–2018 geospatial estimates of anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age (15–49 years) across 82 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), stratify anemia by severity and aggregate results to policy-relevant administrative and national levels. Additionally, we provide subnational disparity analyses to provide a comprehensive overview of anemia prevalence inequalities within these countries and predict progress toward the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target (WHO GNT) to reduce anemia by half by 2030. Our results demonstrate widespread moderate improvements in overall anemia prevalence but identify only three LMICs with a high probability of achieving the WHO GNT by 2030 at a national scale, and no LMIC is expected to achieve the target in all their subnational administrative units. Our maps show where large within-country disparities occur, as well as areas likely to fall short of the WHO GNT, offering precision public health tools so that adequate resource allocation and subsequent interventions can be targeted to the most vulnerable populations
Mapping geographical inequalities in access to drinking water and sanitation facilities in low-income and middle-income countries, 2000-17
No full textBACKGROUND: Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an essential human right, recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals as crucial for preventing disease and improving human wellbeing. Comprehensive, high-resolution estimates are important to inform progress towards achieving this goal. We aimed to produce high-resolution geospatial estimates of access to drinking water and sanitation facilities.METHODS: We used a Bayesian geostatistical model and data from 600 sources across more than 88 low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) to estimate access to drinking water and sanitation facilities on continuous continent-wide surfaces from 2000 to 2017, and aggregated results to policy-relevant administrative units. We estimated mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive subcategories of facilities for drinking water (piped water on or off premises, other improved facilities, unimproved, and surface water) and sanitation facilities (septic or sewer sanitation, other improved, unimproved, and open defecation) with use of ordinal regression. We also estimated the number of diarrhoeal deaths in children younger than 5 years attributed to unsafe facilities and estimated deaths that were averted by increased access to safe facilities in 2017, and analysed geographical inequality in access within LMICs.FINDINGS: Across LMICs, access to both piped water and improved water overall increased between 2000 and 2017, with progress varying spatially. For piped water, the safest water facility type, access increased from 40·0% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 39·4-40·7) to 50·3% (50·0-50·5), but was lowest in sub-Saharan Africa, where access to piped water was mostly concentrated in urban centres. Access to both sewer or septic sanitation and improved sanitation overall also increased across all LMICs during the study period. For sewer or septic sanitation, access was 46·3% (95% UI 46·1-46·5) in 2017, compared with 28·7% (28·5-29·0) in 2000. Although some units improved access to the safest drinking water or sanitation facilities since 2000, a large absolute number of people continued to not have access in several units with high access to such facilities (>80%) in 2017. More than 253 000 people did not have access to sewer or septic sanitation facilities in the city of Harare, Zimbabwe, despite 88·6% (95% UI 87·2-89·7) access overall. Many units were able to transition from the least safe facilities in 2000 to safe facilities by 2017; for units in which populations primarily practised open defecation in 2000, 686 (95% UI 664-711) of the 1830 (1797-1863) units transitioned to the use of improved sanitation. Geographical disparities in access to improved water across units decreased in 76·1% (95% UI 71·6-80·7) of countries from 2000 to 2017, and in 53·9% (50·6-59·6) of countries for access to improved sanitation, but remained evident subnationally in most countries in 2017.INTERPRETATION: Our estimates, combined with geospatial trends in diarrhoeal burden, identify where efforts to increase access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities are most needed. By highlighting areas with successful approaches or in need of targeted interventions, our estimates can enable precision public health to effectively progress towards universal access to safe water and sanitation.FUNDING: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
