The Definition and Measurement of Poverty: An Integrated Islamic Approach
No full textIn this paper an attempt is made to learn as to how the Islamic shariah defines and measures the phenomenon of poverty. A systematic study of the Qur’an, the traditions of Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the conduct of righteous caliphs, and the writings of early Muslim jurists would make it clear that the poor, indigent, and destitute are given adequate importance. The early Islamic state, where necessary, made serious efforts to assist and rehabilitate the poor and the needy. One of the means of assistance and rehabilitation was zakat. The disbursement of zakat funds required that the poor should be unambiguously and convincingly separated from the non-poor. How was it done in the past? Traditions of the Prophet (the sunnah) throw sufficient light on this issue. When we carefully go through the traditions, it would be clear that the explanation of poverty as given by the Prophet is dynamic. It defies time and space limitations. A deeper probe of the traditions would reveal that, for all practical purposes, the Prophet has stressed on an integrated approach. His explanation is far more comprehensive, integrated, and meaningful than the one expressed today in terms of daily intake of certain minimum calories. Present-day Muslim countries should redefine their approach towards the definition and measurement of poverty to reflect the essence of Islamic shariah.

Asphaltum Punjabianum (Shilajit): Unraveling Myths with Scientific Evidence
No full textShilajit is a mineral-rich resin that has a long history of use as a rejuvenator (Rasayana) in Ayurvedic medicine to treat various ailments such as arthritis, infertility, and cognitive decline. Although it is becoming increasingly popular, with more scientific validations, many myths still surround its actual clinical potential. This review directly debunks several persistent myths about Shilajit based on a critical evidence-based analysis. Among the key myths addressed is the notion that only men should take Shilajit, that it is solely a sexual health enhancer, that it works acutely, and that its supplements can be contaminated, rendering them inherently unsafe or unnatural. According to scientific sources, Shilajit is beneficial for both men and women, and it has been proven to contribute to bone health, metabolic processes, antioxidation, and cognitive enhancement. Rather than acting as an acute stimulant, Shilajit functions more as a slow-acting adaptogen that must be taken continuously over several weeks to produce observable physiological adaptations. It is also well-tolerated even in very high doses, as indicated by its toxicological and clinical safety data, provided it is purified. The concerns regarding contamination are addressed through purification, with the majority of certified products meeting global safety standards. Secondary myths, including the belief that Shilajit causes constipation, is inadvisable to use in summer, or leads to kidney stones, are also disproven by clinical and preclinical evidence. Ultimately, one can conclude that Shilajit is an effective and safe multilateral nutraceutical with diverse therapeutic potential. This review advocates for its incorporation into modern healthcare through science-based, myth-busting integration and challenges clinicians to base their recommendations on usage grounded in empirical evidence and quality assurance
تعليقات الشيخ عبدالرحمن السرهندي علی تفسير الجلالين (دراسة تحليلية نقدية)
No full textThis research paper is designed to describe the exegetical distinctions of Allama Abdur Rahman Sirhindi. A descriptive and analytical study of Allama Abdul Rehman's manuscript of annotations and footnotes on Tafsir Jalalain came under discussion. The methodology adopted by the author is critically and analytically evaluated in an objective and subjective manner. A cursory glance at this tafsir brings its readers that it is the crux of baidhavi, Tabari, Nasafi and Fath al Qadir of the classical Islamic Tafaseer. Moreover, the writer has quoted Mulla Kashifi's Tafsir e Hussaini, which is considered as a scholastic exegesis of Persian literature, the author has amply used Arabic and Persian poetic verses in the elaboration of Qur'anic themes. It is worth mentioning that the writer has explicitly mentioned mystical connotations of the Qur'anic verses as approved by the well-known scholars of Islam. The overall impression of it is of tafsir bil-mathur. However, Modern challenges and issues of the human society has also been highlighted and various solutions have been suggested in a pragmatic way

Economic Reliability Acceptance Sampling Plans from Truncated Life Tests based on the Burr Type XII Percentiles
No full textIn this article, economic reliability acceptance sampling plan (ERASP) is developed for the Burr type XII distribution when the life test is truncated at pre-specified designed parameters. The minimum termination time is necessary to ensure that the specified life percentile is found under a given producer’s risk. The operating characteristic values of the proposed plan are presented for various parameters. A comparative study of proposedplan and existing plan developed by Lio et al. (2010) is also discussed. The result is illustrated by a real dataset example
Stakeholder and customer engagement in circular economy ecosystems: A systematic literature review and research agenda
No full textAbstract
In the dynamic landscape of circular economy ecosystems, the engagement between stakeholders and customers plays a crucial role in the transition toward circular economy. On the one side, stakeholders collectively engage in generating value for customers, while on the other, customers benefit from this value. This literature especially highlights the collaborative and collective efforts of stakeholders working together to create value for customers and how these efforts allow for the effectiveness of circular economy ecosystems. However, existing literature lacks a holistic understanding of how stakeholders and customers engage in circular economy ecosystems with each other. Our research takes stock of this research gap. In particular, our literature review aims to fill this gap by systematically selecting, reviewing, and synthesizing 77 articles sourced from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Our analysis shows the importance of the configuration of strategies for value creation and exchange, and ecosystem dynamics, including the drivers and barriers that affect the effectiveness of stakeholder and customer engagement in circular economy ecosystems. Moreover, the findings highlight the importance of raising awareness for customer engagement with circular products and services. Finally, we present an integrated framework that encompasses stakeholder and customer engagement along with the theoretical lenses that can be used to deepen our understanding of the phenomenon. Ultimately, the proposed framework outlines future research directions to advance stakeholder and customer engagement in circular economy ecosystems.Abstract

An Optimized 3D Printer by Enhancing Material Properties and Surface Finish of PLA Through Modifications
No full textThis research investigates the optimization of 3D printer settings to enhance the mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) printed parts. A fundamental aspect of this study involves the design and development of a 3D printer capable of accommodating varied printing parameters. The parameters under consideration include extruder temperature, layer height, print speed, and infill density. Through experimentation, the tensile strength and the bending strength of PLA material are systematically evaluated against these printing parameters. The results unveil significant correlations between printing parameters and mechanical properties. It is observed that increasing the extruder temperature up to 220°C increases the material strength, beyond which a decline is evident due to overextrusion and material degradation. Conversely, increasing the layer height leads to a reduction in strength, attributed to diminished layer adhesion and structural integrity. Moreover, decreasing print speed is found to enhance strength at the expense of increased print time, suggesting a trade-off between efficiency and mechanical performance. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that augmenting infill density contributes to a notable increase in material strength, underscoring the importance of internal reinforcement in enhancing structural integrity. These findings provide valuable insights into the optimization of 3D printing processes for PLA materials, offering guidelines for achieving superior mechanical properties through precise calibration of printing parameters
