GAP ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENT AGENCY PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM INDICATORS TO ACCOUNTABILITY THEORY
No full textThere was no concurrent rise in the corruption perception index subsequent to the observed elevation in AKIP scores. This observation suggests that the AKIP framework has not comprehensively assessed all dimensions of the accountability theory. This article examines the disparities that exist between accountability theory and the indicators employed in the AKIP assessment. The methodology employed in this study is a comprehensive review of existing literature. The analysis yielded the discovery that multiple AKIP indicators necessitate enhancement in order to align the measurement more closely with the theory of accountability. The indicators can be classified into two distinct categories, specifically technical indicators and conceptual indicators. Technical indicators encompass a range of metrics that are utilized to assess various aspects of performance. These indicators include outcome achievement indicators, which gauge the extent to which desired outcomes have been realized. Additionally, effectiveness and efficiency indicators are employed to evaluate the degree to which objectives are met in a timely and resource-efficient manner. Periodic reporting indicators are utilized to monitor and report on progress at regular intervals. Lastly, employee professionalism indicators are used to assess the level of professionalism exhibited by individuals within an organization. Conceptual indicators encompass several key dimensions, namely transparency, liability, controllability, responsibility, and responsiveness
Introducing Shaykh Tusi’s Hermeneutic Perspective in Interpreting the Revelation Words and Predicates with an Emphasis on “Al-Tebyan Fi Tafsir Al-Quran”
No full textShaykh Tusi (1068) is considered as a prominent Shīte interpreter who authored “Al-Tebyan Fi Tafsir Al-Quran” in literary-linguistic genre in fifth hegira century. The recognition of the language of the holy script and its various properties constitute Shaykh Tus’s hermeneutic body. By systematic advancement of two various methods in the entirety of Al-Tebyan Exegesis, Shaykh Tusi has made efforts to develop his interpretation perspectives and lay them on the foundation of intellectuality and its indicative tool, Arabic language and linguistics. The author intended in this academic research article to introduce and investigate Shaykh Tusi’s hermeneutic methods that have been so far left unknown
Centri storici nel milanese: tre casi, una ricognizione. Fenomenologia evolutiva, procedura urbanistica e censimento fotografico
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALELa tesi nasce in risposta all’esigenza dell’autore di rendere più personale la propria esperienza lavorativa di mappatura dei Nuclei di Antica Formazione presso il Centro Studi PIM, proponendo una osservazione sul territorio metropolitano di Milano con il filtro interpretativo identificato nei centri storici minori situati nell’Hinterland della città (in particolare a Nord e a Est).
Lo scopo generale consiste nel comprendere come questi centri si rapportano con la condizione di forte urbanizzazione e di espansione o invasione metropolitana, e dove il loro ruolo territoriale e normativo e urbanistico si colloca in un territorio così complesso e frammentato. La ricerca, con atteggiamento meta-urbanistico e a motivo di esempio metodologico, presenterà tre casi studio: Arcore (MB), Senago (MI) e Gorgonzola (MI), rappresentativi di diverse realtà insediative nell’area metropolitana milanese, nonché (e soprattutto) di differenti componenti nell’ambito della procedura analitica per la disciplina dei NAF, la quale costituisce il riferimento normativo che fa da contorno a tutto il lavoro. Combinando analisi urbanistiche, normative, fotografiche e cartografiche, la tesi vuole fortificare la consapevolezza storica e urbanistica nelle procedure di analisi e progetto nei centri storici, specialmente in territori centrali e, allo stesso tempo periferici come quelli dell’Hinterland milanese. Il lavoro ha cinque capitoli principali.
Il primo capitolo fornisce un orientamento teorico, definendo i concetti di centro storico, centro storico minore e la loro morfologia specifica nell’Hinterland milanese. Il secondo capitolo presenta, invece, una ricognizione sulle implicazioni tecnico-normative in materia di patrimonio insediativo esistente (e storico), con riferimento alla Legge Regionale Lombarda 12/2005 e con particolare attenzione alla descrizione cartografica e alla classificazione analitica dei NAF. Con il terzo, l’autore chiama in causa lo strumento fotografico, riconosciuto come potente mezzo di indagine e documentazione: l’autore propone di seguire l’esempio di Paolo Monti, per catturare l’essenza e le contraddizioni concrete dei centri storici minori. Nel quarto capitolo viene esposta la cartografia realizzata dall’autore presso il Centro Studi PIM, frutto di un lavoro corale che integra dati storici, urbanistici, cartografici e, in parte anche fotografici. Infine, il quinto capitolo trae le conclusioni, auspicando una maggior consapevolezza professionale circa l’importanza di un approccio sistemico e multiscalare per una onesta progettazione e analisi nei centri storici minori, proponendo l’integrazione della fotografia nella strumentazione urbanistica.
Alla fine, si constaterà che i centri storici minori dell’Hinterland milanese non sono solo un prodotto del capoluogo, ma presentano una propria identità insediativa, seppur esposta al divenire: infatti, la propagazione urbana di Milano ne ha alterato molte connotazioni estetiche e funzionali, rendendo gli sguardi politici, normativi, progettuali e culturali non più capaci di cogliere le peculiarità e connotare efficacemente questi episodi insediativi. La fotografia, in questo contesto, si rivela uno strumento più forte delle mutazioni territoriali e procedurali, dal momento che consente di immaginare e progettare lo spazio appellandosi direttamente al fatto concreto e spaziale ritratto grazie a tale strumento.The thesis is born in response to the need of the author to make more personal his own work experience mapping the Nuclea of Ancient Formation at the Centro Studi PIM, proposing an observation on the metropolitan area of Milan with the interpretative filter identified in the minor historical centers located in the hinterland of the city (the north and east).
The general aim is to understand how these centres relate to the condition of strong urbanization and metropolitan expansion or invasion, and where their territorial and normative and urban role lies in such a complex and fragmented territory. The research, with a meta-urbanistic attitude and as a methodological example, will present three case studies: Arcore (MB), Senago (MI) and Gorgonzola (MI), representative of different settlements in the Milan metropolitan area, as well as (and above all) of different components within the analytical procedure for the discipline of NAFs, which is the normative reference that accompanies all the work. Combining urban analysis, normative, photographic and cartographic, the thesis aims to strengthen the historical and urban awareness in the procedures of analysis and design in historic centers, especially in central and, at the same time peripheral as those of the Milanese hinterland. The work has five main chapters.
The first chapter provides a theoretical orientation, defining the concepts of old town, minor old town and their specific morphology in the Milanese hinterland. The second chapter presents, instead, a survey on the technical-normative implications in terms of existing (and historical) settlement heritage, with reference to the Lombardy Regional Law 12/2005 and with particular attention to the cartographic description and analytical classification of NAF. With the third, the author calls into question the photographic tool, recognized as a powerful means of investigation and documentation: the author proposes to follow the example of Paolo Monti, to capture the essence and concrete contradictions of minor historical centers. In the fourth chapter, the cartography made by the author at the Centro Studi PIM is presented as the result of a collaborative work that integrates historical, urban, cartographic and partly also photographic data. Finally, the fifth chapter draws conclusions, calling for a greater professional awareness of the importance of a systemic and multi-scalar approach to honest design and analysis in smaller historic centres, by proposing the integration of photography into urban instrumentation.
In the end, it will be seen that the smaller historical centres of the Milanese hinterland are not only a product of the capital, but have their own settlement identity, although exposed to becoming: in fact, the urban propagation of Milan has altered many aesthetic and functional connotations, making political, regulatory, design and cultural looks no longer able to capture the peculiarities and connote effectively these episodes settlement. Photography, in this context, proves to be a stronger tool of territorial and procedural changes, since it allows us to imagine and design space by appealing directly to the concrete and spatial fact portrayed thanks to this instrument

A Comparative Review of Visual Perception and Vision of God in Sheikh Tusi's Tebyan Commentary and Maturidi's Ta'wilat Ahl-Al-Sunna Commentary
No full textSeveral Quranic verses mention the vision and seeing God on the Resurrection. Corporealists and anthropomorphists regarded God as man having body, its parts and organs, and interpreted such phrases as "God's Face" and "God's Hand" mentioned in some Quranic verses as having outward meanings. On the contrary, Mu'tazilites and Imamiyyah believe that Essence of Creator has no body and dimension, and cannot be seen. The present paper reviews the concept of divine vision through comparing the views of two interpreters and theologians, i.e. Sheikh Tusi (b.460 AH), the author of Al-Tebyan Commentary and Abu Mansur Maturidi (b.333 AH), the founder of Maturidism and the author of "Ta'wilat Ahl-Al-Sunna (Sunni Esoteric Exegeses)". Like other Shia scholars and adhering to hadiths and infallible Imams' guidance, Sheikh Tusi did not accept divine vision, believed that divine vision, whether in the world or hereafter, negates monotheism, and provided some arguments for it. On the contrary, Maturidi appealed to some hadiths and outward meaning of some Quranic verses in terms of divine vision, accepted divine vision on resurrection day, and argued that believers will vision God on that day, although he believed in incorporeality of God in terms of monotheistic issues. No doubt, he did not specify the quality of such vision which is so-called without howness. He negated the perception and comprehension of God, not divine vision
An improvement in approximating the writing date of Jaameâ-os-settin using textual criticism methods
No full text This study shows that it is possible to correct or improve, by means of textual criticism, the results obtained from less accurate stylistic methods the result is the introduction of a new method for accuracy of stylistic deductions by assisting textual criticism. The exact date of the writing of Jaameâ-os-settin, known also as âthe exegesis of Sura Josephâ and written by Abubakr Ahmad ibn Mohammad ibn Zayd al-Tusi, is not known. There has been estimates based on stylistics criteria, and based on stylistic characteristics, it is placed almost at the same time Kashf-ol-Asrar was written, i.e., the second decade of the 6th century A.H. The author of this article became suspicious of this dating when he found some Arabic verses in the text by some poets living at least 70 years after this estimated date. Therefore, he started reviewing all the verses of poetry in Jaameâ-os-settin which belong to a variety of Persian and Arabic poets, in order to find the true author of the verses. Because Tusi has maintained that he , in writing his own book, had used books on the art of preaching, especially those preaching using Josephâs story, the author of this article concentrated on the preaching texts which contained some of the poetical verses found also in Jaameâ-os-settain this led to more evidence supporting the thesis of the research, and the recognition of the fact that a way to estimate a date would be to consider and compare the variants of the Persian and Arabic verses in different books, especially the Arabic verses which, due to Persiansâ lack of fluency in this language, have gone under little evolution. One other fact which helps in pinpointing the date is a migration from Khurasan to Iraq to Azarbayejaan ascribed to Tusi by his biographer, a migration most probably taken as a flight from advancing Mongol armies. This completely corresponds to the date obtained by tracing the poetry verses as mentioned, and gives us an estimated date of the second decade of seventh century A.H, instead of previously held estimate of one century earlier
