The Implied Author in the literary works of Muhammad Naffa’
No full textتخوض المقالة مغامرة البحث في معنى المصطلح "كاتب ضمنيّ (Implied Author)، مفهومه وتجلّيه في أدب الكاتب الفلسطينيّ المحليّ محمّد نفّاع (1939). فرغم ما حظي به أدبه من مقالات نقديّة، إلّا أنّ أحدًا لم يتناول هذا الجانب ويبحثه بحثًا جادًّا متعمّقًا. وهي مقالة مُلخّصة لثمرة جهد دام ثلاث سنوات، قمنا خلالها ببحث طوليّ شموليّ تناول كلّ مجموعات نفّاع القصصيّة وعددها ست، ورواية فاطمة الصادرة عن دار راية للنشر عام 2015، والتي نُشرت في حلقات متفرّقة على موقع الجبهة، بالإضافة إلى كلّ ما نُشر من قصص متفرّقة في هذا الموقع الأخير[1] حتى شهر حزيران 2014.
تأتي هذه الدراسة لتؤكّد فكرة التّعالق الجماليّ والفكريّ في أدب نفّاع. فالقاصّ لا يلتقط معلومات عابرة ويُحوّلها إلى نصّ أدبيّ، إنّما نراه يخضع لعوامل تاريخيّة، فكريّة، أيديولوجيّة، فيفارق خلالها سطوح الأشياء ليصل إلى أعماقها، وبهذا يكون مطالبًا بإعادة صياغة المفاهيم والمعلومات ونسجها من جديد. الكاتب الضمنيّ، وهو وليد الكاتب الحقيقيّ وممثّله، بوصفه الأنا الثانية له، هو المرآة التي ستعكس لنا هذا التّعالق الجماليّ مع الفكريّ على وجه التحديد والتخصيص. وحتى يتحقق ذلك يتوجب علينا اقتفاء أثر الكاتب في النّص من خلال متابعتنا لمجالات خمسة: الكاتب وعلاقته بالزّمان، الكاتب وعلاقته بالمكان، الكاتب وعلاقته بالشخصيّات، الكاتب وعلاقته بالحدث، الكاتب وعلاقته بالراوي. فماذا نعني بالكاتب الضمنيّ والكاتب الحقيقيّ (The real author) ما العلاقة بينهما؟ متى ينوب الراوي عن الكاتب الحقيقيّ؟ وكيف يتجلى ذلك في نصوص نفّاع؟ كم من المؤلّف الحقيقيّ في المؤلّف الضمنيّ؟ على هذه الأسئلة البحثيّة ستتم الإجابة من خلال توضيح العلاقة بين الكاتب والمجالات الخمسة الآنف ذكرها، وتفسير كيفيّة انعكاس هذه العلاقة على الوظيفة التي يؤدّيها الكاتب الضمنيّ/ المُضمر في النّص الأدبيّ عند نفّاع.
*This article aims to examine the meaning and the context of the term "Implied Author" and how it is revealed in the literature of the local Palestinian writer Mohammad Naffa' (1939). Despite the vast amount of critical writing on Nafaa's literature, however, none has dealt or looked in depth into this aspect. The present article is accumulative work of a 3- year project in which we carried out a longitudinal holistic research studying all Naffa's story collections, 6 in number, and his novel "Fatima", published by Al-Raya Publishing in 2015, which had been earlier published as a series in Hadash website (Al-Ittihad literature section), in addition to all the randomly published stories in this website up till June 2014.
This study considers the idea of aesthetic and thematic interconnectivity in Nafaa's works, i.e., for the narrator does not simply pick his information randomly; he bides himself to historical and ideological factors where he departs the surface to dive into the depth of things, thus becoming self-demanding. He is obliged to re-construct and re-frame and re-shape the concepts and the information all a new.
The Implied Author is the author's construct and his representative by being his second Ego. He is the mirror that will reflect to us this aesthetic interconnectivity with the thematic one, in particular. In order for that to happen, we, readers, need to follow the traces of the writer in the text examining the following five domains: the writer and his relationship to Time, the writer and Place, the writer and the Characters and finally the writer and the Narrator. What do we then mean by Implied Author and Real Author? What is the relation between the two? When does the narrator represent the real writer? How is this revealed in Naffa's literature? To what extent does the real author exist in the implied author? All these research questions are discussed and answered putting the relationship between the writer and the five previously mentioned domains. Furthermore, the reflection of this relationship on the role done by the Implied Author in Naffa's literary text will be elaborated
Religious Identity of Afghani youth in Czechia in a historical perspective
No full textThe thesis will examine the role of religion among young Afghans in the Czech Republic. The Afghan "exodus" began with the overthrow of Zahir Shah in 1973 and was followed by massive waves of emigration during the 1980s and 1990s. Even in the last decade, Afghans remained one of the largest groups of refugees in Europe. The destination for most Afghans in Europe is the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands or Scandinavia. However, a significant number of Afghan refugees also live in the Czech Republic. The thesis first maps the history of migration from Afghanistan to Europe in general and to the Czech Republic in particular. Given that Afghans are often understood as Muslims, the work will also analyze the history of Muslims in the Czech Republic. Then the work will focus on the role of religion in shaping the identity of young Afghans in the Czech Republic. The analysis of secondary sources will be complemented by my own qualitative research in the form of in-depth interviews with young Afghans. Keywords: identity, religion, ethnicity, migration, Afghans, Muslim
Phonics, Vocal Tract Configuration, and the Importance of Phonics to the English Language
No full textAbstract: Reading English for beginners is a complex task that requires employing effective strategies to make it easier and exciting for the students. One of the strategies is the use of a systematic approach of sound-letter correspondences or phonics system. Several researches have confirmed the efficacy of the use of phonics systems as compared to other teaching methods in reading such as the whole language method for early learners or those who have English as second language. Even the US Department of Education regarded phonics as an essential part of reading process among beginners. At present, it is widely used in different reading programs targeting beginners. This paper will discuss the importance of phonics in English language particularly in reading lessons as well the vocal tract configuration of using phonics. Using different literature and previous empirical studies about the effect of phonics on reading to determine and confirm the importance of phonics system in ready, this paper will help in validating the significant contribution of phonics system in helping students learn how to read and recognize texts.
Keywords: phonics system, teaching methods, English Language.

Some new Wyman–Leibovitz–Adler type static relativistic charged anisotropic fluid spheres compatible to self-bound stellar modeling
No full textThis article was published in the The European Physical Journal C [© The Author(s) 2015. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com] and the definite version is available at : http://10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3737-6 The Journal's website is at: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3737-6In this work some families of relativistic anisotropic charged fluid spheres have been obtained by solving the Einstein–Maxwell field equations with a preferred form of one of the metric potentials, and suitable forms of electric charge distribution and pressure anisotropy functions. The resulting equation of state (EOS) of the matter distribution has been obtained. Physical analysis shows that the relativistic stellar structure for the matter distribution considered in this work may reasonably model an electrically charged compact star whose energy density associated with the electric fields is on the same order of magnitude as the energy density of fluid matter itself (e.g., electrically charged bare strange stars). Furthermore these models permit a simple method of systematically fixing bounds on the maximum possible mass of cold compact electrically charged self-bound stars. It has been demonstrated, numerically, that the maximum compactness and mass increase in the presence of an electric field and anisotropic pressures. Based on the analytic models developed in this present work, the values of some relevant physical quantities have been calculated by assuming the estimated masses and radii of some well-known potential strange star candidates like PSR J1614-2230, PSR J1903+327, Vela X-1, and 4U 1820-30.Publishe
Uddessho: An Extensive Benchmark Dataset for Multimodal Author Intent Classification in Low-Resource Bangla Language
No full textWith the increasing popularity of daily information sharing and acquisition on the Internet, this paper introduces an innovative approach for intent classification in Bangla language, focusing on social media posts where individuals share their thoughts and opinions. The proposed method leverages multimodal data with particular emphasis on authorship identification, aiming to understand the underlying purpose behind textual content, especially in the context of varied user-generated posts on social media. Current methods often face challenges in low-resource languages like Bangla, particularly when author traits intricately link with intent, as observed in social media posts. To address this, we present the Multimodal-based Author Bangla Intent Classification (MABIC) framework, utilizing text and images to gain deeper insights into the conveyed intentions. We have created a dataset named Uddessho, comprising 3,048 instances sourced from social media. Our methodology comprises two approaches for classifying textual intent and multimodal author intent, incorporating early fusion and late fusion techniques. In our experiments, the unimodal approach achieved an accuracy of 64.53% in interpreting Bangla textual intent. In contrast, our multimodal approach significantly outperformed traditional unimodal methods, achieving an accuracy of 76.19%. This represents an improvement of 11.66%. To our best knowledge, this is the first research work on multimodal-based author intent classification for low-resource Bangla language social media posts.Accepted for publication in 18th International Conference on Information Technology and Applications (ICITA 2024

New topic detection in microblogs and topic model evaluation using topical alignment
No full texttextThis thesis deals with topic model evaluation and new topic detection in microblogs. Microblogs are short and thus may not carry any contextual clues. Hence it becomes challenging to apply traditional natural language processing algorithms on such data. Graphical models have been traditionally used for topic discovery and text clustering on sets of text-based documents. Their unsupervised nature allows topic models to be trained easily on datasets meant for specific domains. However the advantage of not requiring annotated data comes with a drawback with respect to evaluation difficulties. The problem aggravates when the data comprises microblogs which are unstructured and noisy.
We demonstrate the application of three types of such models to microblogs - the Latent Dirichlet Allocation, the Author-Topic and the Author-Recipient-Topic model. We extensively evaluate these models under different settings, and our results show that the Author-Recipient-Topic model extracts the most coherent topics. We also addressed the problem of topic modeling on short text by using clustering techniques. This technique helps in boosting the performance of our models.
Topical alignment is used for large scale assessment of topical relevance by comparing topics to manually generated domain specific concepts. In this thesis we use this idea to evaluate topic models by measuring misalignments between topics. Our study on comparing topic models reveals interesting traits about Twitter messages, users and their interactions and establishes that joint modeling on author-recipient pairs and on the content of tweet leads to qualitatively better topic discovery.
This thesis gives a new direction to the well known problem of topic discovery in microblogs. Trend prediction or topic discovery for microblogs is an extensive research area. We propose the idea of using topical alignment to detect new topics by comparing topics from the current week to those of the previous week. We measure correspondence between a set of topics from the current week and a set of topics from the previous week to quantify five types of misalignments: \textit{junk, fused, missing} and \textit{repeated}. Our analysis compares three types of topic models under different settings and demonstrates how our framework can detect new topics from topical misalignments. In particular so-called \textit{junk} topics are more likely to be new topics and the \textit{missing} topics are likely to have died or die out.
To get more insights into the nature of microblogs we apply topical alignment to hashtags. Comparing topics to hashtags enables us to make interesting inferences about Twitter messages and their content. Our study revealed that although a very small proportion of Twitter messages explicitly contain hashtags, the proportion of tweets that discuss topics related to hashtags is much higher.Computer Scienc

Circular economy practices in the leather industry: A practical step towards sustainable development
No full textThe concept of circular economy (CE), a recent popular global business trend, considerably minimizes waste and environmental pollution. However, studies exploring CE practices in the context of leather industry have been scant. To deal with this issue, this paper proposes a decision support framework for evaluating the challenges to CE practices in the context of leather industry. Best worst method, a generic decision support tool, is employed in the assessment process. The study findings reveal that “lack of financial support from authorities” is assigned the highest weight in the final ranking results. This indicates that the lack of financial facility poses a major challenge to the successful implementation of CE practices. The findings can assist industrial managers and authorities in taking the required actions to implement CE practices in the leather industry for the sustainable development of the leather sector.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport and Logistic
Discovering Intra-Urban Population Movement Pattern Using Taxis’ Origin and Destination Data and Modeling the Parameters Affecting Population Distribution
No full textGPS-equipped vehicles are an effective approach for acquiring urban population movement patterns. Attempts have been made in the present study in order to identify the population displacement pattern of the study region using taxis’ origin and destination data, and then model the parameters affecting the population displacement pattern and provide an ultimate model in order to predict pick-up and drop-off locations. In this way, the passenger pick-up and drop-off locations have been identified in order to obtain the population movement pattern. In this study, Moran’s I index was used to measure the spatial autocorrelation, and hot spot analysis was used to analyze spatial patterns of pick-up and drop-off locations. Effective parameters modeling was performed using the Poisson regression. The results of the spatiotemporal distribution map for pick-up and drop-off locations indicated a similarity in patterns and equal results for some locations. Results also indicated different features of spatial distribution during different hours of the day. Spatial autocorrelation analysis results indicated a low probability of randomness in the general spatial distribution of the locations. The result of modeling the parameters shows the positive effect of the parameters on the pattern of population movement, and according to the p-value of 0.000, Poisson regression is significant for the pick-up and drop-off locations. The modeling results also highlighted the importance of movement patterns in recognizing urban hot spots, which is valuable for policymakers and urban planners
