Tomb of Hazrat Syed Shah Raju
No full textSon of Shah Raju I, Shah Raziuddin better known as Shah Raju II came to Hyderabad during the reign of Abdullah Qutb Shah, 1626-72. Among his disciples was the future Sultan Abulhasan Tana Shah. Shah Raju II persuaded Abdullah Qutb Shah to marry his daughter to Abulhasan. Upon Shah Raju’s death in 1684, Abulhasan Tana Shah built a splendid dome over his grave in Ghazibanda, outside Fateh Darwaza. Extensive dalans, courtyards and masonry colonnades mark this three-storied Dargah of finely proportioned arches. A golden spire tops the dome affixed by Tahniyatunnisa Begum, the mother of Nasiruddawlah. Nasiruddawlah himself added a canopy and wooden litters. Within the dargah is another dome built over the grave of Sayyid Shah Shamsuddin, a spiritual guide of Shah Raju II. The dome dates from the time of Sultan Abulhasan Tana Shah. The dome is profusely decorated with Arabic and Persian inscriptions in Nastaliq and Thulus styles. The massive doors of the mausoleum are of highly polished black basalt.exterior, 200
Stages of socio-economic development: Shah Wali-Allah's concept of al-irtifaqat
Full text linkThe present paper introduces Shah Wali-Allah Dehlawi’s concept of the stages of socio-economic developments (al-irtifaqat). According to him, starting from simple primitive village life to an international community, the socio-economic development of human society can be divided into four stages. The first stage is dominated by simple economic struggle while the last stage is developed to maintain just political order on international level, to safeguard the socio-economic interests of different states and establish peace and justice among them. All economic ideas of Shah Wali-Allah are related, in some way or the other, to his concept of irtifaqat or stages of socio economic development.‘Stages of History’ approach to development, Theory of Socio-Economic development, Dehlawi’s Theory of Development, al-irtifaqat, Four stages of Humankind Development.

Rain or shine? Forecasting search process performance in exploratory search tasks
No full textMost information retrieval (IR) systems consider relevance, usefulness, and quality of information objects (documents, queries) for evaluation, prediction, and recommendation, often ignoring the underlying search process of information seeking. This may leave out opportunities for making recommendations that analyze the search process and/or recommend alternative search process instead of objects. To overcome this limitation, we investigated whether by analyzing a searcher’s current processes we could forecast his likelihood of achieving a certain level of success with respect to search performance in the future. We propose a machine-learning-based method to dynamically evaluate and predict search performance several time-steps ahead at each given time point of the search process during an exploratory search task. Our prediction method uses a collection of features extracted from expression of information need and coverage of information. For testing, we used log data collected from 4 user studies that included 216 users (96 individuals and 60 pairs). Our results show 80–90% accuracy in prediction depending on the number of time-steps ahead. In effect, the work reported here provides a framework for evaluating search processes during exploratory search tasks and predicting search performance. Importantly, the proposed approach is based on user processes and is independent of any IR system.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Shah, C., Hendahewa, C. and González-Ibáñez, R.

The result of the survey is analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software and generated into different kind of graphs and tables. The findings shows that majority of the respondents are not satisfied with the provision of public facilities in Bukit Bandaraya, Shah Alam with different reasons of dissatisfaction. This explicitly proves the quality of life and neighbourhood quality of the area. However, the satisfaction of the respondents also varies according to the aspects listed of the public facilities
Capturing collabportunities: A method to evaluate collaboration opportunities in information search using pseudocollaboration
No full textIn explicit collaborative search, two or more individuals coordinate their efforts toward a shared goal. Every day, Internet users with similar information needs have the potential to collaborate. However, online search is typically performed in solitude. Existing search systems do not promote explicit collaborations, and collaboration opportunities (collabportunities) are missed. In this article, we describe a method to evaluate the feasibility of transforming these collabportunities into recommendations for explicit collaboration. We developed a technique called pseudocollaboration to evaluate the benefits and costs of collabportunities through simulations. We evaluate the performance of our method using three data sets: (a) data from single users’ search sessions, (b) data with collaborative search sessions between pairs of searchers, and (c) logs from a largescale search engine with search sessions of thousands of searchers. Our results establish when and how collabportunities would significantly help or hinder the search process versus searches conducted individually. The method that we describe has implications for the design and implementation of recommendation systems for explicit collaboration. It also connects system-mediated and user-mediated collaborative search, whereby the system evaluates the likely benefits of collaborating for a search task and helps searchers make more informed decisions on initiating and executing such a collaboration.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: González-Ibáñez, R., Shah, C. and White, R.

Reading: Sonia Shah
No full textIn this audiovisual recording from Wednesday, March 24, 2021, as part of the 52nd Annual UND Writers Conference: “Roots of the Earth,” Sonia Shah reads from her work. She begins by discussing how she became a writer and how she decided to write about science, history, and politics as a journalist. Shah reads from Pandemic: Tracking Contagions, from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond. Shah also responds to audience questions about the effect that the establishment of nation-states had on migration, how political and racial conflict affect the writing of her book, how she balances research and writing, the future of science reporting in the mass media, and advice on narrative structure and form in creative nonfiction.
