Leksis gender dalam novel A. Samad Said: satu analisis medan semantik
Get PDFLeksis merupakan unit yang penting dalam bahasa terutamanya dalam pembentukan ayat. Dari sudut linguistik, leksis merupakan perbendaharaan kata dalam bahasa. Dari sudut linguistik, leksis gender ialah perbendaharaan kata yang melibatkan jantina sama ada jantina lelaki, perempuan atau neuter (neutral). Penyelidik menyenaraikan tiga objektif kajian yang utama, iaitu, mengenal pasti penggunaan leksis gender dalam novel terpilih A. Samad Said, menginterpretasi leksis gender menggunakan teori Medan Semantik (Syed M. Naquib al-Attas, 2001), dan menjelaskan jalinan leksis gender dengan medan semantik dalam novel A. Samad Said. Data penyelidikan dikumpul daripada empat buah novel terpilih A. Samad Said, iaitu ‘Langit Petang (1980)’, ‘Di Hadapan Pulau (2000)’, ‘Sungai Mengalir Lesu (2005)’, dan ‘Adik Datang (2012). Dalam penyelidikan ini, penyelidik menggunakan kaedah kualitatif bagi menjawab objektif kajian. Penyelidik juga menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan teks bagi mengenal pasti leksis gender yang terdapat dalam novel terpilih A. Samad Said. Data leksis gender yang terdapat pada novel tersebut akan dianalisis menggunakan Teori Medan Semantik S. Ullmann (1963) menerusi pendekatan model analisis T. Izutsu (1964) dan Syed M. Naquib al-Attas (1970 dan 2001). Hasil penyelidikan mendapati bahawa leksis gender yang dipaparkan dalam novel terpilih A. Samad Said dikategorikan kepada tujuh kata fokus, iaitu, kekeluargaan, bentuk panggilan, gelaran, pekerjaan/jawatan, kata sifat, kata ganti nama diri dan kata nama. Selanjutnya, daripada 10,398 leksis gender yang dikaji, didapati leksis gender daripada kategori kata ganti nama diri mencatatkan jumlah tertinggi, iaitu sebanyak 5,297 kekerapan, diikuti pula leksis gender daripada kategori kekeluargaan yang berjumlah 1,928 kekerapan dan leksis gender daripada kategori bentuk panggilan sebanyak 1,410 kekerapan. Hasil dapatan akhir menunjukkan bahawa setiap kata fokus akan menerbitkan satu konsepsi berdasarkan medan semantik yang melatarinya. Kata fokus yang dinyatakan mempunyai jalinannya dengan makna setiap kata kunci yang mengelilingi kata fokus yang membentuk lingkungan konsepsi sehingga menubuhkan medan semantik bagi leksis gender dalam novel terpilih A. Samad Said

Control-theoretic methods for biological networks
No full textFeedback is both a pillar of control theory and a pervasive principle of nature. For this reason, control-theoretic methods are powerful to analyse the dynamic behaviour of biological systems and mathematically explain their properties, as well as to engineer biological systems so that they perform a specific task by design. This paper illustrates the relevance of control-theoretic methods for biological systems. The first part gives an overview of biological control and of the versatile ways in which cells use feedback. By employing control-theoretic methods, the complexity of interlaced feedback loops in the cell can be revealed and explained, and layered feedback loops can be designed in the cell to induce the desired behaviours, such as oscillations, multi-stability and activity regulation. The second part is mainly devoted to modelling uncertainty in biology and understanding the robustness of biological phenomena due to their inherent structure. Important control-theoretic tools used in systems biology are surveyed. The third part is focused on tools for model discrimination in systems biology. A deeper understanding of molecular pathways and feedback loops, as well as qualitative information on biological networks, can be achieved by studying the “dynamic response phenotypes” that appear in temporal responses. Several applications to the analysis of biological systems are showcased.Accepted Author ManuscriptTeam Tamas Keviczk
Heritage studies and measured drawings of Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, Kuala Lumpur
No full textMasjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad was built in 1909 following
the demolition of Masjid Kampung Rawa that is located at Java
Street (Jalan Tun Perak) due to expansion of road and to carter the
increasing number of Jemaah. The masjid was one of the earliest
mosques in Kuala Lumpur. The establishment of Kuala Lumpur is

„Fatwa als Mordaufruf – eine Medienanalyse von deutschsprachigen und ägyptischen Medienartikeln am Beispiel von Hamed Abdel-Samad
No full text„Fatwa heißt auf gut Deutsch Morddrohung" so lautet der Titel einer österreichischen Berichterstattung über den Mordaufruf gegen den deutsch-ägyptischen Autor Hamed Abdel- Samad, der von islamistischen Predigern 2013 in Kairo gegen ihn gerichtet wurde. Obwohl es sich bei einer Fatwa im islamischen Kontext um ein Rechtsgutachten bzw. eine Rechtsmeinung zu verschiedensten Thematiken handelt, assoziieren viele Menschen mit einer Fatwa Gewaltandrohungen bis hin zu einem Mordaufruf. Die Berichterstattungen in Österreich und Deutschland im Jahr 2013 erwähnten Fatwas generell primär in Gewaltkontexten, berichteten über erfundene Fatwas und nahmen eine Gleichsetzung von islamischen Rechtsgutachten und Mordaufrufen vor. Aufgrund dieser Voranalysen untersucht dieses Forschungsprojekt die Thematik Fatwa als Mordaufruf im Detail: Der Fokus der Betrachtungen liegt auf den Debatten um den deutschen Islamkritiker Hamed Abdel-Samad, über den im Juli 2013 von islamistischen Predigern in Ägypten eine Morddrohung aufgrund seiner kritischen Islamanalysen ausgesprochen worden ist. Viele deutschsprachige und ägyptische Medien berichteten mit unterschiedlichen Ansätzen über dieses Geschehnis. Im Kontext der vorliegenden Analyse wurde auf die Methodik der Inhaltsanalyse von Philipp Mayring sowie auf die Diskursanalyse von Siegfried Jäger zurückgegriffen und die Annahme übernommen, dass Mediendiskurse sowohl vermeintliche Wahrheiten in die Gesellschaft tragen und diese gleichzeitig kreieren. Sie prägen dadurch das Alltagsdenken der Menschen und bestimmen mit, was im Fall der vorliegenden Arbeit über die Thematik Fatwa als Mordaufruf gedacht und gesagt werden kann. Im ersten Schritt werden daher die Aussagen der Medienberichterstattungen dargelegt: An 76 Artikel deutsche und österreichische sowie 56 Artikel ägyptischer Berichterstattungen werden die Fragen gestellt, inwiefern der Mordaufruf und dessen Urheber dargestellt werden und welche thematischen Diskursverschränkungen auftreten. Durch eine kulturübergreifende Medienanalyse werden Parallelen und Unterschiede in der Berichterstattung im deutschsprachigen Raum und Ägypten offengelegt. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse einer kritischen Gesamtanalyse unterzogen, in welcher auch Hauptprotagonisten wie Hamed Abdel- Samad und einer der ägyptischen Prediger, Abu Isḥāq al-Ḥuwainī, selbst zu Wort kommen.Fatwa as Death Threat – A media analysis of German speaking and Egyptian media articles using the example of Hamed Abdel-Samad
“In plain language, fatwa means death threat“ – reads the headline of an article by a German media outlet. The newspaper article addresses the death threats against the German-Egyptian author Hamed Abdel-Samad which have been issued by Islamist preachers in Cairo in 2013. Even though a fatwa is religious advice or an opinion on a certain topic (varying from religious matters to everyday life), it is widely assumed in Europe that a fatwa is predominantly or exclusively a call for violence. Media reports in Austria and Germany mainly depicted fatwas in 2013 in a violent context, reported upon fatwas that never occurred and equated fatwas with death threats, giving a distorted picture of fatwas and the Muslim community as their issuers and recipients. Due to these findings the following study aims to analyze the topic Fatwa as Death Threat in German, Austrian and Egyptian media outlets in detail. The focus of the media analysis is put on debates over the author and Islam critic Hamed Abdel-Samad, who was targeted by death threats in Egypt after a public lecture in 2013 in which he highlighted parallels between Islam and Fascism. Numerous newspapers and online platforms in Austria, Germany and Egypt reported about the incident from different and contradictory point of views. The research is conducted through the methodical framework of Philipp Mayring’s content analysis and Siegfried Jäger’s discourse analysis, the latter assuming that the power of media lies in the formation of the public opinion and is therefore responsible for the way in which reality is formed by ruling out alternative ways of thinking and talking. According to Jäger’s theory, media discourse has a significant impact on the public opinion about fatwas and as a consequence about Islam and the Muslim community. Through the analysis of 76 German and Austrian and 56 Egyptian articles, this research addresses the questions of how death threats, their issuers and recipients are portrayed in the media and which other discursive intersections can be found in the reporting. This is the first study to undertake an intercultural media analysis that highlights the differences and parallels in the media reporting about fatwa as death threats in Austria, Germany and Egypt. The critical examination of the results of the media analysis includes findings of interviews with protagonists in the discourse such as Hamed Abdel-Samad and Egyptian preacher Abu Isḥāq al- Ḥuwainī
