The positional parameter of EMG for transtibial prosthetic users / Khaled Nedal Mahmoud Sobh
No full textAmputation is an operation that involves partial or total removal of a limb. Amputations are limited to the two main parts of the body (upper limb and lower limb) and each limb has its amputation levels. This study will focus on the lower limb amputation (transtibial amputee). Transtibial Amputations (TT Amp) is one of the most amputated types of the lower limb, also known as below-knee (BK) amputation. Prosthetic limbs are found and manufactured to serve those affected, by overcoming difficulties or challenges that may be encountered in their daily activities such as walking, jumping, squatting and other movements. One of the advance powered lower limb prostheses (transtibial) that improves the movement performance of the users of these limbs using electromyography (EMG) sensor known as C-LEG. The main challenge faced by the prosthetic limb is the position of the EMG sensor. EMG sensor within the socket in a fixed position sometimes leads to contact with inactive muscles, which causes reduction in efficiency of use. The aim of the study is to investigate the best positional parameter of EMG for transtibial prosthetic users (TTAmp) to be effective in multiple movement activities and compare with the normal human muscle�s activities. DELSYS Trigno wireless EMG instrument was used in this study to achieve this aim. Ten non-amputee subjects and two transtibial amputee subjects were involved in this study. The surface EMG signals were recorded from two anterior and posterior below knee muscles; tibialis anterior (TA) and gastrocnemius lateral head (LG), and two anterior and posterior above knee muscles; rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) during five activities; muscles strengthening, flexion and extension, gait cycle (normal walking), descending the stairs and ascending the stairs. The result is that some muscles are active and useful in the performance of certain activities, but they are not effective in other activities, so it is difficult to rely entirely on the static positioning of the EMG sensor
within socket due to the possibility of that sensor to be in contact with inactive muscle so there will be a gap in the control leads to decrease the functional efficiency of the powered prostheses. There is, therefore, a need to put the EMG sensor out of the socket to reduce this gap in prosthetic limbs control by amputees and to ensure that each sensor is connected to an active muscle of which through the EMG signal from that active muscles can increase the control efficiency

L’attente des femmes chez ‘Alawiyya Ṣubḥ, Fādī ‘Azzām et Ḫālid Ḫalīfa
No full textInternational audienceRÉSUMÉ – Chez Fadi Azzam, Alawiya Sobh et Khaled Khalifa, les femmes, entre échappatoire ou purgatoire, se réfugient dans l’attente ou s’y consument. Dès lors, le présent devient le théâtre du possible, du rêve (Khalifa), du salut (Sobh) ou celui aussi de l’impossible rencontre et de la frustration (Azzam), tous relégués dans cet espace parallèle qui appartient à l’attente. L’attente “palliative” est un remède à l’échec des femmes, à leur solitude et leur ennui.ABSTRACT – In the work of Fadi Azzam, Alawiya Sobh, and Khaled Khalifa, women caught between escape and purgatory find refuge in waiting or are consumed by it. The present then becomes the theater of the possible, of dreams (Khalifa), of salvation (Sobh), or also the theater of impossible encounters and frustration (Azzam), all relegated to the parallel space of waiting. “Palliative” waiting is a remedy to the failures of the women, to their solitude and their boredom

Konstruksi Otoritarianisme Hukum Islam Menurut Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl
No full textQuran was sent down for the humanity, its consequently guiding to drive justice, dignity and a mercy of the universe. This paper tried to discribe of the triangle of text, reader and author in islamic legal opinion. The cource strictly to differ where are authoritative and authoritarian in the same time. Here is Khaled Khaled as a prominent moslem thinker standing consistantly in front line againts wahabism on its fatawa or islamic legal opinions. Khaled offers methodology of how to interpret of the meaning of the law texts, it is hermeneutic. The characteristics of this kind of methodology is that there is closed relation to the author, text, context, and interpreting of reader. So, the meaning of Islamic law texts can be classified into two categories, authoritarianism and authoritative meaning
Understanding Education of Authoritative Islamic Law Perspective Khaled Abou el Fadl
No full textProblems with Gender-biased Islamic law education and authoritarianism in the United States have invited the anxiety of prominent Muslim intellectual, Khaled Abou El Fadl. In his book on the Speaking in God's Name, Khaled revealed a crucial hermeneutic problem related to the relation of text (text), author (reader). Khaled also revealed the problem of abuse of "authority" in Islamic law that surfaced and was unavoidable among individuals and groups. Evidently, there are a number of religious fatwas not speaking "about God", but acting and speaking "in the name of God". The focus of this paper further discusses what are the hermeneutical problems in Islamic law education discussed by Khaled Abou El Fadl, and what is meant by the issue of authority and abuse, the relation of text-author-reader, and authoritarianism and its implications in the study of Islamic law. Then what are the mechanisms and methods for formulating the right Islamic fatwa
Pemikiran Hermeneutika Khaled M. Abou El Fadl: Dari Fikih Otoriter Ke Fikih Otoritatif
No full textArtikel ini merupakan analisis buku yang ditulis Khaled M. Abou el-Fadl berjudul Speaking in God’s Name: Islamic law, Authority and Women, yang mencoba memaparkan pemikiran Khaled M. Abou El Fadl yang mengusung teori otoritas dengan menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika sebagai pisau analisis dalam menyikapi persoalan hukum Islam yang berkembang selama ini yang masih dianggap diskriminatif, dalam istilah Khaled M. Abou El Fadl disebut sebagai otoritarianisme interpretasi. Hermeneutika yang Khaled M. Abou El Fadl kembangkan berorientasi pada otoritas penafsiran sebuah teks dengan menegosiasikan teks, pengarang dan pembaca dengan memperhatikan tiga hal, yaitu; kompetensi (autentisitas), penetapan makna, dan perwakilan. Tiga pokok persoalan inilah menurut Khaled M. Abou El Fadl, memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk pemegang otoritas dalam dikursus keislaman. This article is an analysis of the book written by Khaled M. Abou el-Fadl entitled Speaking in God's Name: Islamic law, Authority and Women, which tries to explain the thoughts of Khaled M. Abou El Fadl who carries the theory of authority by using a hermeneutic approach as an analytical knife in addressing The problems of Islamic law that have developed so far are still considered discriminatory, in Khaled M. Abou El Fadl's terms referred to as interpretation authoritarianism. The hermeneutics that Khaled M. Abou El Fadl developed is oriented towards the authority of the interpretation of a text by negotiating the text, the author and the reader by paying attention to three things, namely; competence (authenticity), determination of meaning, and representation. According to Khaled M. Abou El Fadl, these three main issues play an important role in shaping the authority holders in Islamic discourse
