THE CONCEPT OF INSĀN RABBĀNĪ IN IBN ‘ARABĪ’S THOUGHT: A SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS THROUGH CHARLES S. PEIRCE’S FRAMEWORK
No full textHumans were created with a perfect soul, mind and intellect. But he often forgets the purpose of his creation. As a mirror of the Divine, humans can achieve Divine self-awareness, as the Prophet Muhammad said, ‘Whoever knows himself will know his Lord.’ According to Ibn ‘Arabī, humans who know their God are called insān kāmil, and insān kāmil recognised by God is called insān rabbānī. This article examines the steps and ways towards insān rabbānī according to Ibn ‘Arabī, and analyses the symbols and their meanings based on Charles S. Pierce's semiotic theory. The analysis is descriptive-explanatory based on content analysis. Initially, semiotic was only used in the empirical realm. It becomes interesting when semiotics is applied to the metaphysical realm; an attempt to think logically, philosophically, reflectively, and contextually in looking at Sufism in Indonesia. This article shows that the steps and ways to reach insān rabbānī; such as taubah, murāqabah, and ikhlāṣ, to reach waḥdah al-wujūd and musyāhadah. The symbol of insān rabbānī is depicted through the concept of waḥdah al-wujūd in a triadic process; that humans are the manifestation of God, the form of insān rabbānī is manifested in Rasūl, Prophet, Walī, and Waraṡah al-Anbiyā’, who act as caliphs of Allāh. With God’s adab and authority, insān rabbānī guides humans towards Divine self-awareness
Writing from the shadowlands: how cross-cultural literature negotiates the legacy of Edward Said
No full textThis thesis examines the impact of Edward Said's influential work Orientalism and its legacy in respect of contemporary reading and writing across cultures. It also questions the legitimacy of Said's retrospective stereotyping of early examples of cross-cultural representation in literature as uncompromisingly 'orientalist'.
It is well known that the release of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 was responsible for the rise of a range of cultural and critical theories from multiculturalism to postcolonialism. It was a study that not only polarized critics and forced scholars to re-examine orientalist archives, but persuaded creative writers to re-think their ethnographic positions when it came to the literary representations of cultures other than their own. Without detracting from the enormous impact of Said, this thesis isolates gaps and silences in Said that need correcting. Furthermore, there is an element of intransigence, an uncompromising refusal to fine-tune what is essentially a binary discourse of the West and its other in Said's work, that encourages the continued interrogation of power relations but which, because of its very boldness, paradoxically disallows the extent to which the conflict of cultures indeed produced new, hybrid social and cultural formations.
In an attempt to challenge the severity of Said's claim that 'every European, in what he could say about the Orient, was consequently a racist, an imperialist, and almost totally ethnocentric', the thesis examines a number of different discursive contexts in which such a presumption is challenged. Thus while the second chapter discusses the 'traditional' profession-based orientalism of nineteenth-century E. G. Browne, the third considers the anti-imperialism of colonial administrator Leonard Woolf. The fourth chapter provides a reflection on the difficulties of diasporic 'orientalism' through the works of Michael Ondaatje while chapter five demonstrates the effects of the dialogism used by Amitav Ghosh as a defence against 'orientalism'. The thesis concludes with an examination of contemporary writing by Andrea Levy that appositely illustrates the legacy of Said's influence.
While the restrictive parameters of Said's work make it difficult to mount a thorough-going critique of Said, this thesis shows that, indeed, it is within the restraints of these parameters and in the very discourse that Said employs that he traps himself. This study claims that even Said is susceptible to 'orientalist' criticism in that he is as much an 'orientalist' as those at whom he directs his polemic
Imam Salim b. Rashid and the Imamate revival in Oman 1331/1913 - 1338/1920
No full textThe principal aim of this thesis is to assess the performance of Imam Salim b.Rashid and the Imamate revival in Oman during the second decade of the 20th century. It
presents biographical information about Imam Salim, with special reference to the military and political policies by which he established and consolided his Imamate in the
Interior Province, and his relations with the Sultan and the latter's British supporters. An attempt is also made to explore the relationship between the Imam and the Omani tribes and to evaluate his administrative success. This thesis comprises eight chapters, and the introduction and conclusion. The introduction reviews the relevant literature on the topic. The first chapter describes the geographical setting and provides a historical background,
relating to three principal matters: the rise of the Iba<;liyyah and the development of the Imamate in Oman; the events in Oman after Sd. Sa'id's death up to 1913; and the effects of the First World War. The second chapter seeks to give an account of the career of Imam Salim's life and the Imamate revival. The third chapter discusses the manner in
which the Imam was elected, private and public allegiance (bay'ah) and the Imam's aims and policy programme. Chapter Four deals with the Imam's military operations and the
spread of his authority over Oman. Chapter Five examines the attempts at negotiation between the Imam and the Sultan, and the role of the British Government and the local
figures in this regard. Chapter Six is devoted to a discussion of the role of the tribes in support of Imam Salim, and the extent of the Imam's influence over these tribes. Chapter Seven assesses the Imam's administrative machinery, including the political system, the bureaucracy, education policy, and financial apparatus. Chapter Eight examines the causes behind the assassination of Imam Salim and the signing of the Treaty of al-Sib. In the conclusion, we present the findings of the research as they have emerged from the assessment of the course of events in Oman. We have said that the Omanis succeeded in reviving the Imamate and elected Imam Salim al-KharU~i who devoted his efforts to establish the foundations of the state, and peace prevailed in the country after the treaty of
al-Sib in 1920
A design methodology for a very low noise figure common-source LNA
No full text©2005 COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering. Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only.The design of common source (CS) Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) for wireless receivers is presented. The design trade-offs between main criteria are discussed. An extra gate-to-source capacitor is added to the input transistor to reduce the transistor dimension while still satisfying the noise matching. The small MOSFET also improves the LNA linearity with comparatively small drain-source current. The extra gate-to-source capacitor is introduced by the bonding-pad parasitic capacitor; hence a negative effect parasitic capacitance is turned into a useful capacitor. The simulated Noise Figure (NF) of two single-ended LNAs using 0.18 µm CMOS process achieve 0.62 dB and 0.92 dB at 2.4 GHz and 5.25 GHz respectively while matching a 50 ohm impedance.Yingbo Zhu, Said F.

First measurement of the CKM angle ϕ3 with B±→ D(π+π−π0) K± decays
No full textA bstract We present the first model-independent measurement of the CKM unitarity triangle angle ϕ 3 using B ± → D ( K S 0 π + π − π 0 ) K ± decays, where D indicates either a D 0 or D ¯ 0 meson. Measurements of the strong-phase difference of the D → K S 0 π + π − π 0 amplitude obtained from CLEO-c data are used as input. This analysis is based on the full Belle data set of 772 × 10 6 B B ¯ events collected at the Υ(4 S ) resonance. We obtain ϕ 3 = ( 5.7 − 8.8 + 10.2 ± 3 . 5 ± 5 . 7) ° and the suppressed amplitude ratio r B = 0 . 323 ± 0 . 147 ± 0 . 023 ± 0 . 051. Here the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic, and the third is due to the precision of the strong-phase parameters measured from CLEO-c data. The 95% confidence interval on ϕ 3 is ( − 29 . 7 , 109 . 5) ° , which is consistent with the current world average
Demographic data of patients travelling from public hospitals for medical treatment abroad: outbound medical tourism in the Sultanate of Oman
No full textIntroduction Medical tourism is a rapidly evolving global trend, with patients from high-income countries increasingly seeking affordable, quality care in middle-income nations. Despite its growing prevalence, there is a lack of systematic, population-level research on the demographics and disease profiles of individuals seeking treatment abroad, particularly within the Gulf Cooperation Council region. We address this gap by examining the age-specific and sex-specific patterns and disease burden among Omani patients who receive medical treatment abroad, with particular emphasis on chronic and non-communicable diseases.Methods We analysed the Department of Treatment Abroad database, maintained by the Ministry of Health in Oman, comprising records of 2364 patients referred from public hospitals for medical treatment abroad during the period 2022–2023. The analysis included 1428 patients who received treatment abroad, excluding 936 patients who obtained care within local hospitals. The analysis focused on identifying demographic patterns, disease classifications and preferred treatment destinations.Results Of the 1428 patients treated abroad, predominantly male, 46.4% were children (0–17 years), including 11% who were infants (0–1 year), and 10% were aged 60 years or older. Most children had ophthalmological, haematological, neurological and orthopaedic conditions, while epilepsy was prevalent among young people and adults. Liver cirrhosis was the most common diagnosis for middle-aged and older-adult males. Parkinson’s disease and prostate cancer were the most common diseases in older adults. Liver transplant ranked the topmost medical procedure for treatment abroad, followed by bone marrow transplant, penetrating keratoplasty surgery and retinoblastoma. India was the primary destination for treatment abroad (82%), followed by Turkey (14%), Thailand (0.9%) and the UAE (0.8%).Conclusions Our study highlights the need for targeted health policy interventions in Oman that address financial and systemic barriers driving outbound medical travel. Strengthening local healthcare for chronic and non-communicable diseases, especially for children, is crucial to reduce reliance on medical tourism and ensure equitable care
