L'apport de quelques sources russes officielles à l'historiographie du djadidisme chez les Tatars de la Volga (Aux Archives centrales d'État du Tatarstan)
No full textRafiq Mouhammetchine, The contribution of Russian official source material to the historiography of jadidism among the Volga Tatars (Turkestan Central State Archives).
The author, a disciple of the aforementioned one, attempts at analysing the perception Russian observers had of Tatar jadidism, mainly on the basis of a report laid down in 191 1 by A. V. Goriachkin at the request of an examining magistrate in Kazan. The sources under scrutiny reveal the conceptual and terminological looseness of that official literature, which testifies to the paucity of information in Russian ministries — concerned as they were with fighting agaiast Ottoman influence — on the social and cultural processes then developing among the Muslim community on their own territories. It was only due to the outburst of the World War and the revival of an autonomous nationalist Muslim press that observers in St. Petersburg became aware of the deep ideological changes that had been taking place among the Muslims of Russia from the start of the century; the latter were progressively forsaking Islamic communitarism in favour of ethnic nationalism.Rafiq Mouhammetchine, L'apport de quelques sources russes officielles à l'historiographie du djadidisme chez les Tatars de la Volga (aux Archives Centrales d'État du Tatar stan).
Disciple du précédent, l'auteur entreprend d'analyser le regard posé sur le djadidisme tatar par les observateurs russes, principalement à partir d'un rapport rédigé en 1911 par A.V. Gorjačkin sur la commande d'un juge d'instruction de Kazan. Les documents étudiés révèlent principalement la grande approximation des concepts et des termes véhiculés par la littérature officielle, révélatrice de la piètre information dont disposaient les ministères russes (soucieux surtout de lutter contre l'influence ottomane) sur les processus sociaux et culturels en cours dans la communauté musulmane sur leur propre territoire. Il fallut attendre le déclenchement de la guerre mondiale et la renaissance d'une presse musulmane autonome pour que les observateurs de Saint-Pétersbourg prennent note des profonds changements idéologiques survenus chez les musulmans de Russie depuis le début du siècle (renonciation progressive au communautarisme islamique et naissance d'un nationalisme ethnique).Mouhammetchine Rafiq, Dudoignon Stéphane A.

No full textA Study to Analyze Collaboration Patterns for Asian Library and Information Science (LIS) Scholars on Author, Institutional and Country Levels
No full textThe aim of the present study is to determine the collaborative activities of Asian library and information science (LIS) researchers through bibliometric, social network analysis at the author, institution, and country levels of the LIS publications produced by Asian researchers. For the study, research articles were derived from the 1994-2013 Web of Science (WoS) archives. Coauthor analysis software was used to analyze author contributions on the New Modified Author Activity Index (NMAAI(1, 2, 3))-a measurement tool to evaluate author research activities. Results reveal (a) that LIS "institutions collaboration pattern" outcomes did not yield strong collaboration with Asian countries or regions, (b) intracontinent and intercontinent collaboration was less harmonious on institutional and author levels, and (c) interpretation through NMAAI(1,2,3) revealed that Asian countries did not produce sufficient collaborative LIS publications. Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, India, Iran, Israel, and Turkey have been producing ample LIS papers, but the United States and United Kingdom emerged as leaders. This work provides a holistic view of Asian LIS development and emphasizes individual levels of collaboration, finding that most influential authors serve on coauthor networks, which differentiates this study from previous studies in the LIS field. There is immense need to develop liaisons, sign memoranda of understanding (MOUs), and participate in combined research plans and short-term research exchange programs.BIT; National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) [71033001, 71273030]; MOST of China [2012DFG11750][email protected]
Applications of gold nanoparticles in ELISA, PCR, and immuno-PCR assays: A review
No full textDevelopment of state-of-the-art assays for sensitive and specific detection of disease biomarkers has received significant interest for early detection and prevention of various diseases. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are two examples of proteins and nucleic acid detection assays respectively, which have been widely used for the sensitive detection of target analytes in biological fluids. Recently, immuno-PCR has emerged as a sensitive detection method, where high specificity of sandwich ELISA assays is combined with high sensitivity of PCR for trace detection of biomarkers. However, inherent disadvantages of immuno-PCR assays limit their application as rapid and sensitive detection method in clinical settings. With advances in nanomaterials, nanoparticles-based immunoassays have been widely used to improve the sensitivity and simplicity of traditional immunoassays. Owing to facile synthesis, surface functionalization, and superior optical and electronic properties, gold nanoparticles have been at the forefront of sensing and detection technologies and have been extensively studied to improve the efficacies of immunoassays. This review provides a brief history of immuno-PCR assays and specifically focuses on the role of gold nanoparticles to improve the sensitivity and specificity of ELISA, PCR and immuno-PCR assays

A building of might and faith : Rafiq Hariri and the Muhammad al-Amin mosque : on the political dimensions of religious architecture in contemporary Beirut
No full textSet up in three main parts, this dissertation explores the emergence of Rafiq Hariri as a political actor (I), the historic origins of the Muhammad al-Amin Mosque project (II) and the association of the former Lebanese prime minister with Lebanon’s main Sunni place of worship (III). Besides being a powerful testimony to the impressive reconstruction effort in Lebanon in general and in Beirut in particular, this monumental mosque also represents a symbol of political and religious identification. The aim of this research is double: to track down the gradual involvement of the former head of government in sponsoring a 150 year old project, and to enquire about the ways the construction of a mosque can strengthen the legitimacy of a political actor within a multi-confessional societal context.
Based on field research (2004 – 2009) and a systematic analysis of written, visual and oral sources, the objective is to explain how the appearance of this sanctuary of Lebanese Sunni officialdom participates in a wider dynamic that apprehends religious architecture in Beirut (at least partly) as a set of semi-public and semi-sacred spaces where the intricacies and links between politics, religion and urban sociology materialize in tangible and observable way.
In fact, both the coming about of this prestigious mosque and the transformations of the adjacent Maronite cathedral illustrate the political subtleties of religious architecture as well as the ambiguities of intermingling communities. Moreover, the Muhammad al-Amin Mosque and the commemorative tomb of Rafiq Hariri installed immediately next to it offer an interesting field of observation that reveals developments, struggles and practices which document just how a reputation and a political legacy are being constructed, negotiated, mobilized, oriented and reoriented, according to the needs and wishes of the elites.
Through a substantial biographical essay on Rafiq Hariri (chapters 1-3), juxtaposed to a recollection of the various construction phases of the Muhammad al-Amin Mosque (ch. 4), a detailed description (ch. 5) and a critical analysis of the latter by local experts (ch. 6), this research presents itself as a study that encompasses several disciplines and adopts, as a consequence, a methodological pluralism. Although the author concentrates the bulk of his attention on the complexities and interests at stake in contemporary Lebanon (ch. 7-8), in a final chapter he also examines a selection of major religious architectural projects, in order to provide for a wider contextualisation, both in time and space. The conclusion is that, no matter the place or the time and notwithstanding occasional exploitations of it, (religious) architecture turns out to be a fertile prism which, rather than a competition among communities reflects their diversity and exemplifies their interaction.Conçue en trois parties, cette thèse explore à la fois l’émergence de Rafiq Hariri comme acteur politique (I), la genèse historique du projet de la mosquée Muhammad al-Amin (II) ainsi que l’association de l’ancien premier ministre libanais au principal lieu de culte sunnite du Liban (III). Outre un puissant témoignage de l’impressionnant effort de reconstruction du Liban en général et de la ville de Beyrouth en particulier, cette mosquée monumentale représente également un symbole d'identification politico-religieuse. L’objectif de cet exercice est double et consiste non seulement à retracer l’implication graduelle de l’ancien chef de gouvernement dans la promotion d’un projet vieux de près d’un siècle et demi mais aussi à s’interroger sur la façon dont la construction d’une mosquée peut contribuer à renforcer la légitimité d’un acteur politique dans un contexte sociétal multiconfessionnel.
Sur base d'une étude de terrain menée entre 2004 et 2009 et en dépouillant un corpus documentaire composé de sources écrites, visuelles et parlées il s’agit d’expliquer comment l’apparition de ce haut lieu du sunnisme officiel libanais s’inscrit dans une dynamique plus large qui permet d’analyser l’architecture religieuse à Beyrouth (du moins en partie) comme des espaces tantôt publics tantôt sacrés où les liens entre le politique, le religieux et la sociologie urbaine se matérialisent de manière concrète et observable.
En effet, la réalisation de cette prestigieuse mosquée ainsi que les transformations de la cathédrale maronite adjacente permettent d’illustrer aussi bien les subtilités politiques de l’architecture religieuse que les ambigüités du brassage communautaire. Par ailleurs, la mosquée Muhammad al-Amin et la tombe commémorative de Rafiq Hariri qui lui est accolée constituent un formidable champ d’observation révélant un certain nombre d’évolutions, de luttes et de pratiques qui montrent comment une réputation et un héritage politique se construisent, se négocient, se mobilisent, s’orientent et se réorientent en fonction des contraintes et des besoins des élites.
A travers un substantiel essai biographique sur Rafiq Hariri (chapitres 1-3) juxtaposé à une recomposition des différentes phases de construction de la mosquée Muhammad al-Amin (ch. 4), d’une description détaillée (ch. 5) ainsi qu’une analyse critique de celle-ci par des experts locaux (ch. 6), cette recherche se présente comme une étude à cheval sur plusieurs disciplines qui adopte, par conséquent, un pluralisme méthodologique. Si l’auteur porte son attention principalement aux complexités et aux enjeux propres aux réalités libanaises contemporaines (ch. 7-8), dans un dernier chapitre (ch.9) il s’applique également à étudier une sélection de grands projets d’architecture religieuse plus ou moins éloignés dans le temps et/ou dans l’espace, afin de permettre une mise en contexte à plus grande échelle. Il en résulte le constat que, peu importe le lieu et l’époque et malgré l’instrumentalisation qui en est parfois faite, l’architecture s’avère être un prisme d’analyse fécond qui, bien plus qu’une simple compétition entre communautés reflète leur diversité et la manifestation de leur interaction.(POL 3) -- UCL, 201
