4-Chloro-N-m-tolylbenzamide
No full textIn the title compound, C14H12ClNO, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 11.29 (15)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H...O hydrogen bonds linking the molecules into chains running along the c axis. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.066; wR factor = 0.178; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.7
Impact of Web technologies on student-lecturer expert power relationship
No full textExpert power is “the power that comes from having knowledge and expertise in a particular area” (Nazarko, 2004). In the history of the development of higher education, the relationship between the lecturer and the students has changed because of many different factors. Before the internet and web revolution, the lecturer used to be the main information source for his/her students. The web as a modern source of knowledge is now used universally and this spreading trend might affect the relationship between the lecturer and his students. Understanding the impact of this change appears to be important as it would be employed in improving teaching techniques. In this area, many studies have focused on the impact of using the internet and web applications on students and lecturers. These studies have widely investigated this impact on student’s achievements, attitude and also have shown how the role and performance of the faculty have changed. This paper aims to investigate the impact of using web resources as a source of knowledge on the student-lecturer relationship from students’ perspectives. The investigation focuses on how students’ knowledge gained from using websites has impacted on the relationship with their lecturer as a knowledgeable person which theoretically means Expert power. 1661 students from 30 universities/ educational institutions participated in this research
Democracy in Pakistan: Value Change and Challenges of Institution Building
No full textDemocracy as a system of governance and interest representation demands respect for dissent and opposition. It recognises the principle of majority rule and guarantees protection of minorities. Democracy also builds faith in electoral contestation to gain public office and gives legitimacy to political parties as primary instruments for acquisition and transfer of power from one set of individuals to another. Unfortunately, despite the significance of the above elements, no serious studies have been undertaken on Pakistan’s experimentation with democracy. Given a history of weak party system and prolonged military rule, most of the studies focus on the military, political parties, constitutional history, or in a descriptive way, attribute the failure of democracy to the inadequacies of the politicians [Ahmed (1987); Rizvi (1987); Callard (1957) and Afzal (1976)]. It is only recently that some theoretically meaningful and rigorous empirical writings have appeared on elections, procedures and practices of electoral contestation and on problems of transition from authoritarian regimes towards democracy [Waseem (1989); Wilder (1995); Talyor (1992); Rais (1997) and Shafqat (1997)]. It merits attention and recognition that among the Muslim states and developing world, Pakistan is one of those few states, where people have shown vigour and some vitality to adopt a democratic parliamentary system and through popular mass movements demonstrated disapproval of military dictatorships. An enduring feature of Pakistani culture, history and politics has been an aspiration for democracy [Hugh and Rose (1997)]. The passion for democracy continues to resurge, despite ethnic, social class, religious cleavages, strong authoritarian tendencies and prolonged military rule.

N-(3-Bromophenyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide
No full textIn the title compound, C16H16BrNO4, the dihedral between the planes of the aromatic rings is 7.74 (18)°. The amide group is tilted with respect to the bromo- and methoxy-substituted aromatic rings by 36.3 (8) and 35.2 (8)°, respectively. The meta-methoxy groups are essentially in-plane with the aromatic ring [dihedral angles CH3-O-C-C = -4.6 (4) and -2.5 (4)°]. The para-methoxy group is markedly displaced from the ring plane [dihedral angle CH3-O-C-C = -72.5 (4)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H...O hydrogen bonds linking the molecules into chains running along the b axis. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.033; wR factor = 0.076; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.6
Ethyl 4-[3-(2-methylbenzoyl)thioureido]benzoate
No full textThe molecular conformation of the title compound, C18H18N2O3S, is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H ... O hydrogen bond. The crystal packing shows centrosymmetric dimers connected by N—H ... S hydrogen bonds. The terminal ethoxy substituents are statistically disordered [occupancy ratio 0.527 (5):0.473 (5)]
Reinterpretasi Metodologi Studi Islam (Landasan Teoritis Tajdid Dalam Penafsiran AL-Qur’an Perspektif Abdullah Saeed dan M. Quraish Shihab)
No full textStudi ini berupaya untuk meninjau dasar-dasar teoretis yang digunakan oleh Abdullah Saeed dan M. Quraish Shihab dalam melakukan studi Tajdid dalam interpretasinya. Meninjau dua landasan teoritis tajdid populer menjadi menarik karena masih ada paradigma sastra dalam memahami teks agama pada umat Islam. Dengan demikian membuat mereka membangun argumen kuat untuk melegalkan tajdid dalam interpretasi mereka. Namun, karena alat ukur yang digunakan berbeda, secara otomatis batas ukuran tajdid yang dihasilkan juga berbeda.
This study seeks to review the theoretical foundations used by Abdullah Saeed and M. Quraish Shihab in conducting Tajdid projects in their interpretation. Reviewing their two theoretical foundation of tajdid stretchy to be interesting because there is still a literary paradigm in understanding the text of religion in Muslims. Thus making them first build strong arguments in order to legalize tajdid in their interpretation. However, because the measuring instrument used is different, automatically the size limit of the resulting tajdid is also different.
 
Impact of Web technologies on student-lecturer connectedness
No full textIn academic sense connectedness is recognized as students’ active engagement in the academic and social opportunities at their school based on their understanding that teachers at school care for them as individuals, as well as for their learning (BritishColumia, 2012). The web as a modern technology for communication is now used universally and this spreading trend might affect student-lecturer connectedness. In this area, many studies have focused on the impact of using the internet and web applications on students and lecturers. These studies have widely investigated this impact on student’s achievements, attitudes and have also shown how the role and performance of the faculty has changed. This paper investigates how students’ uses of web technology to communicate with lecturers have impacted on either negatively or positively on their connectedness with the lecturers. 1661 students from 30 universities and educational institutions in Saudi Arabia participated in this research. Results of this research paper show that students find it easier to communicate with their lecturers by using web technologies such as e-mail social web applications. Additionally, web technologies have many benefits in terms of making students are more engaged in the classroom
