Durant son règne, sous l'emprise de Shah Jahan, Golconde devint un protectorat moghol. Son gendre Abul Hasan dit Tana Shah lui succéda et fut le dernier souverain de Golconde des Qutb Shahi après les victoires d'Aurangzeb. On connaît plusieurs portraits d'Abdullah Qutb Shah à différents âges de sa vie. Ici, en tunique dorée avec semis de fleurs roses à col de fourrure, il apparaît âgé.téléchargeabl
Du shah aux ayatollahs : la Révolution iranienne de 1978-1979 et sa réception en Occident
No full textEn 1979, une monarchie plurimillénaire s'effondre en Iran. Le régime du shah est bientôt remplacé par une République islamique sous la coupe d’un guide suprême, l’ayatollah Khomeyni. Cette révolution constitue l’aboutissement d’une année d’insurrections. Dans les mois qui suivent, la genèse de la nouvelle république va profondément modifier la face de l’Iran. Même en dehors des frontières du pays, la Révolution iranienne suscite de l’intérêt et fait l’objet de nombreuses spéculations.
Souhaitant dépasser l’histoire strictement nationale, cette conférence explorera également les répercussions de cet évènement dans des pays occidentaux comme la Belgique
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Le prince Shah Shuja : Album "Portraits et costumes indien"
No full textÉcole moghole, vers 1650Le prince impérial Shah Shuja était le deuxième fils de Shah Jahan (régnant 1628-1658) et de Mumtaz Mahal. Il est vêtu d'un jama de mousseline et d'un paijama à semis de fleurs rouges. Coiffé d'un turban doré orné, selon l'usage des membres de la famille impériale, d'une aigrette noire, il tient une fleur et un katar est glissé dans son patka doré à fleurs. Il fut gouverneur du Bengale et de l'Orissa. Lors de la guerre de succession qui opposa les quatre fils de Shah Jahan, Shah Shuja se proclama empereur dans sa capitale Rajmahal, avec le titre d'Abul Fauz Nasir ud-Din Muhammad, Shah Shuja Ghazi. Mais, se dirigeant vers Delhi, il fut vaincu par son frère Aurangzeb et dut s'enfuir. Après une longue déroute, il fut massacré, en 1660, en pays Arakan (Birmanie).téléchargeabl
Bahadur Shah, futur empereur Shah Alam I er (?) : Album "Princes et Seigneurs Indiens"
No full textÉcole moghole, vers 1670 Au recto de chaque feuillet, une miniature figurant des princes et des seigneurs indiens, et au verso, une illustration botaniqueLe prince est auréolé d'or et tient un chauri en poils de yak dont le manche est probablement en néphrite incrustée de pierres précieuses tout comme le pommeau du poignard glissé dans sa ceinture d'or, serti de rubis et d'émeraudes ; à cette même ceinture pend un gland de perles fines. Sur le tapis d'été d'Agra, à fleurs et bordé d'or, repose une épée au riche pommeau et au fourreau recouvert d'une guirlande de feuilles en émail vert sur argent. Ce portrait a souvent été identifié comme celui d'Aurangzeb. On sait combien certains membres de la famille impériale peuvent se ressembler. Cependant, les traits d'Aurangzeb sont plus sévères et il se reconnaît notamment à ses lèvres pincées. Nous préférons suivre Gentil qui écrit qu'il s'agit de « Badourcha fils d'Alemguir » et y voir un portrait de Bahadur Shah, Muazzam, Shah-i Be Khabar, Shah Alam I er , deuxième fils et successeur d'Aurangzeb, qui dut attendre 62 ans pour régner sur l'empire moghol (1707-1712).téléchargeabl
Representations of migrant and nation in selected works of Rohinton Mistry and Salman Rushdie
No full textThis thesis explores the representations of, and the relationship between. the migrant and the nation in selected works of the Bombay-born novelists Rohinton Mistry and Salman Rushdie. I explore each writer's engagement with contemporary debates surrounding the material, political, social and imaginative consequences of the crisis in secularism in India during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and consider how this engagement is informed by their
migrant positions beyond India's borders. A primary concern is the way in which Mistry's and Rushdie's representations of the nation, and of migrant and diasporic subjects, intersects with the representation of Bombay in their work.
This thesis is divided into five chapters. The first two chapters concentrate on Mistry's fiction, the remaining three on Rushdie's work. Published between 1988 and 2002, the central novels examined are situated within debates regarding the founding principles of the Indian nation, and notions of Indianness, the rise of communalism in general and Hindu nationalism in particular, and the renaming of Bombay as Mumbai. My readings foreground the necessity of a
close understanding of the historical and political transformations taking place within Bombay and India during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but also during the 1950s and 1960s. I argue that Mistry's and Rushdie's work is informed by a deepening anxiety over these socio-political transformations, and over how reconfigurations of Indianness increasingly position minority communities, and migrant and diasporic subjects, outside of definitions of national identity.
This anxiety extends into the negotiation of their own migrant positions. My reading of the differing representations of the migrant in Mistry's and Rushdie's work engages with ideas of accountability, political responsibility, and with notions of cosmopolitanism. In doing so, I question familiar assumptions regarding the migrant condition as one of predominantly empowering political agency. I argue that, while both authors emphasise the importance of the migrant sustaining a critical engagement with India's politics, they also foreground the anxious difficulties of doing so. This difficulty informs Mistry's and Rushdie's divergent negotiation of their own position as migrant writers, and I examine how their fiction is marked by an anxiety over the adequacy of writing as a mode of political engagement with the crisis in secularism and the parochialisation of Bombay, and as a means of negotiating the politics of migrancy
Clone detection in 5G-enabled social IoT system using graph semantics and deep learning model
No full textThe protection and privacy of the 5G-IoT framework is a major challenge due to the vast number of mobile devices. Specialized applications running these 5G-IoT systems may be vulnerable to clone attacks. Cloning applications can be achieved by stealing or distributing commercial Android apps to harm the advanced services of the 5G-IoT framework. Meanwhile, most Android app stores run and manage Android apps that developers have submitted separately without any central verification systems. Android scammers sell pirated versions of commercial software to other app stores under different names. Android applications are typically stored on cloud servers, while API access services may be used to detect and prevent cloned applications from being released. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid approach to the Control Flow Graph (CFG) and a deep learning model to secure the smart services of the 5G-IoT framework. First, the newly submitted APK file is extracted and the JDEX decompiler is used to retrieve Java source files from possibly original and cloned applications. Second, the source files are broken down into various android-based components. After generating Control-Flow Graphs (CFGs), the weighted features are stripped from each component. Finally, the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is designed to predict potential cloned applications by training features from different components of android applications. Experimental results have shown that the proposed approach can achieve an average accuracy of 96.24% for cloned applications selected from different android application stores.</p
Methodological Challenges in Estimating Soil Organic Matter: A Review
No full textSoil organic matter (SOM) plays a crucial role in soil health, fertility, and carbon cycling, making its accurate estimation essential for sustainable agriculture and ecosystem management. However, the quantification of SOM is fraught with methodological challenges that can introduce variability and uncertainty into assessments. Traditional techniques may lack specificity and accuracy, while advanced methods pose challenges related to calibration and standardization. The selection of an appropriate method is critical and requires careful consideration of soil characteristics, land use, and research objectives. This article reviews the key methodological challenges associated with estimating soil organic matter, aiming to provide an understanding of the complexities involved, and provides insights on the latest instrumentation for SOM measurements.Full Tex
