Offline handwritten signature identification using adaptive window positioning techniques
No full textThe paper presents to address this challenge, we have proposed the use of Adaptive Window Positioning technique which focuses on not just the meaning of the handwritten signature but also on the individuality of the writer. This innovative technique divides the handwritten signature into 13 small windows of size nxn(13x13). This size should be large enough to contain ample information about the style of the author and small enough to ensure a good identification performance.The process was tested with a GPDS data set containing 4870 signature samples from 90 different writers by comparing the robust features of the test signature with that of the user signature using an appropriate classifier. Experimental results reveal that adaptive window positioning technique proved to be the efficient and reliable method for accurate signature feature extraction for the identification of offline handwritten signatures.The contribution of this technique can be used to detect signatures signed under emotional duress

Penukaran data dalam konteks GIS (Geographical Information System)
No full textKertas kerja ini membincangkan kajian literatur mengenai proses awal yang perlu dititikberatkan dalam pembangunan suatu GIS (Geographical Information System). Dalam pembangunan sistem maklumat geografi (GIS), proses penukaran data (data conversion) merupakan proses awal yang perlu dilalui untuk mencapai kepada tahap pangkalan data geografi yang bermutu tinggi. Proses ini juga biasanya merupakan sebahagian terbesar daripada keseluruhan projek GIS dan secara tidak langsung kos untuk proses tersebut juga adalah yang paling tinggi iaitu dalam lingkungan 60%. Dari segi terminologi pula, terdapat dua aspek proses penukaran dan di dalam kertas kerja ini salah satu aspek yang akan dibincangkan iaitu dari segi persediaan awal berkaitan dengan spesifikasi projek penukaran, spesifikasi data dan spesifikasi pentadbiran harus dilaksanakan sebelum proses penukaran (conversion) dapat dijalankan dengan lancar. Setiap sistem AM/FM pula, memerlukan kepada satu dasar tanah yang tepat, terkini dan selaras dengan tempat data fasiliti dirujuk secara geografik. Dengan lain perkataan, tanpa dasar tanah, sesuatu sistem pemetaan tidak boleh dikatakan sebagai satu GIS. Beberapa teknik perolehan dasar tanah dibincangkan dengan serba ringkas untuk membolehkan perhatian ditumpukan kepada masalah penyediaan dan pembersihan data fasiliti yang akan dirujuk terhadap dasar tanah ini kelak. Pembersihan data fasiliti adalah amat perlu supaya data yang dimasukkan semasa proses penukaran berada dalam keadaan baik dan tidak mendatangkan masalah semasa penggunaan kelak. Ini juga dapat menjimatkan kos pengguna dalam jangka masa panjang. Mutu maklumat yang akan ditukar juga perlu diambilkira.
[Abstract in English]
This paper will discuss on a literature study on early stages in the development of a GIS (Geographical Information System). In the development of a GIS, data conversion is the initial process that one has to undergoe in order to achieve a geographic of high quality. This process often constitutes to more than half of the total of a GIS project and indirectly the cost for this process is usually around 60%. In terms of terminology there are two aspects of data conversion in a GIS namely, conversion of analogue/manual geographic data to digital form which involves manual sources such as paper maps, drawings, digital form etc. and conversion from one GIS system to another GIS system of different format. In this paper only the first aspect will be discussed in depth regarding early preparations to be considered in the data conversion and this pertains to project specifications, data specification and administrative specifications. Every GIS requires a current, uniformly accurate landbase to which the facilities data can be geographically referenced. In other words, a computerised mapping system is nota a true GIS if it is not referenced to land base. Techniques on land base acquisition is disscussed in brief to allow the author to express in detail problems concerning the importance of data preparation and purification before the final conversion takes place. Data preparation and purification is viable so as not to input 'garbage' and 'output' garbage as well. Quality control on data to be converted should also be taken into consideration
Variation in instructive style in Prophet Muhammad's discourses: an analytical study in light of modern socio-linguistics
No full textProphet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) discourses are a rich source and mine of knowledge and edifying instruction, and are an important part of the Prophetic Traditions which constitute the second source of Islamic teachings next to the Qur’an. The Prophetic discourses have been recorded and transmitted with a very degree of preciseness in both letter and content. Thus they provide a great record and comprehensive register of social life during the Prophetic era. In view of this, the present article aims at discovering the elements and aspects of that social life by identifying and examining the linguistic forms and speech modes employed in the Prophetic discourses and discerning their relationships with the socio-cultural context prevailing during the occurrence of the Prophet’s speech acts. No doubt, in carrying out his prophetic mission to convey God’s message to people, the Prophet (peace be upon him) made use of all that was available to him in terms of the Arabic language’s stock of speech styles, modes of expression and ways of linguistic performance. It is a characteristic feature of his discourses that his speech would be commensurate with the requirements of the actual situation. Thus, he was always keen to address each group of people, indeed each individual, according to their level and standing and to make his speech relevant to the situation. Therefore, the article focuses on the styles of speech in the Prophetic discourses meant for edifying people and directing them to perform certain actions. This task has been done by analyzing three speech acts of the Prophet recorded in Sahih Muslim, in which exercise the author has had recourse to American linguist Dell Hymes’ model of determining the components of a speech act or speech event which he summarized in the expression SPEAKING whereby each letter conforms to first letter of the name of each of those eight components taken as criteria for discovering and assessing the relationship between speech modes and the context

The diverse functions of symbolism in Maqamat Imam al-Suyutiy
No full textElements of symbolism in literary works are one of the essential elements discussed in any academic research. Symbolism is a medium to represent ideas and messages that the author wants to convey in his work. Meanwhile, Maqamat is a literary work which is loaded with symbols through the symbolic style of language and also has a message to convey. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify and analyse the functions of symbols in Maqamat Imam al-Suyutiy (MIS). This research is a qualitative study that uses the method of textual analysis. The research data was selected based on the elements of symbolism contained in the text of the speech taken directly from the five maqamat. In order to achieve the set objectives, the Nazm theory established by Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjaniy was used in this study. The analysis of context and co-text was conducted for all research data using this Nazm theory. The results showed that there were symbols such as flowers, fruits, gems, and fragrances used by the author. These symbols had several functions such as depicting the bad attitude of the government leaders, criticising the attitude of the members of the society, avoiding punishment by the rulers, expressing the discomfort of the MIS author about the political situation, and depicting the character of a person
