Textual foundation of law of crimes: harmonization between Penal Code and Islamic criminal law
No full textThe law of crimes defines criminal and delinquent behavior and specifies sanctions that are enforced by a threat of punishment. In Malaysia, most of the penal provisions are contained in the Malaysian and Indian Penal Code. The Code declares what acts or omissions are offenses and also provides for their punishment. It specifies the circumstances in which an act or omission will be regarded as an offense.
This includes acts or omissions done intentionally, knowingly, voluntarily, fraudulently, or dishonestly. It classifies offenses such as those affecting the human body (e.g., murder, causing hurt), affecting the property (e.g., theft, robbery), affecting reputation (e.g., defamation, insult), affecting public peace (e.g., unlawful assembly, rioting) and those affecting public health and safety (e.g., adulteration of food). It also determines the nature and quantum of punishment to be given for specific offenses. Besides Malaysian and Indian Penal Code, there are numerous statutes that are either designed to punish specific offenses such as the Dangerous Drug Act 1952, or which seek to regulate specific activities and only punish those who violate the rules (e.g., the Food Act 1983). Some statutes provide for preventive detention of persons without trial in a court of law, and this is to prevent them from engaging in any activity prejudicial to the peace, order, and security.
The main objective of this book is also to deal with the process of harmonization of substantive law between the two legal systems i.e. the Modern Secular Law and Islamic Criminal Law. Thus, this book will undoubtedly greatly assist law students and legal researchers who must study the subject and the lecturers who have to teach the subjects. Legal practitioners will also find this book useful as the author has sought to state the law and looked academically and critically at the Courts’ decisions. The author believes that this book will become a must for those who are interested in the field of Criminal Justice System
Introduction: Why is philosophy relevant for clinical practice?
No full textThis book is intended as an intellectual resource for clinicians and healthcare professionals who are interested in digging deeper into the philosophical foundations of their daily practice. It is a tool for understanding some of the philosophical motivations and rationality behind the way medicine and healthcare are studied, evaluated and practiced. In particular, this book illustrates the impact that our thinking about causality, both philosophically and conceptually, has on the clinical encounter. The aim is to engage and empower healthcare professionals to take part in changing and defining the premises for their own practice. After all, if clinical decisions should be based on evidence, this ought to be evidence that is relevant and well-suited for the clinic. The book has two parts, Philosophical Framework and Application to the Clinic. The first part is written from the philosophical perspective and presents a singular overall framework. The second part is written primarily by clinicians who address some implications of the philosophical framework for different aspects of their own practice.Ethics & Philosophy of Technolog
Conclusion: Causehealth recommendations for making causal evidence clinically relevant and informed
No full textFrom the philosophical perspective presented in the first part of this book, together with the clinical application of this framework in the second part, it follows that we must change the way we approach causal evidence of health and illness conceptually, methodologically and practically. This has some practical consequences for the clinical encounter, as discussed throughout the book. We here offer some specific CauseHealth recommendations for making causal evidence more clinically relevant and better informed by the clinical encounter. The recommendations follow from an overall consideration of the previous chapters, both the philosophical framework and its clinical implications.Ethics & Philosophy of Technolog
Knowledge cluster formation as a science policy: lessons learned
No full textRegional science policy aims at the creation of productive knowledge clusters, which are central places within an epistemic landscape of knowledge production and dissemination, K-clusters are said to have the organisational capability to drive innovations and create new industries. The following paper will look at Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam and their path towards a Knowledge-based economy. All governments have used cluster formation as one of their development strategies. Some evidence on the current state of knowledge cluster formation is provided. If the formation of a knowledge cluster has been the government policy, what has been the result? Is there an epistemic landscape of knowledge clusters? Has the main knowledge cluster really materialised? Data collected from websites, directories, government publications and expert interviews have enabled us to construct the epistemic landscape of Peninsular Malaysia and the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Several knowledge clusters of a high density of knowledge producing institutions and their knowledge workers have been identified and described. An analysis of the knowledge output, measured in terms of scientific publications, patents and trademarks show that knowledge clusters have, indeed, been productive as predicted by cluster theory, though the internal working of clusters require further explanation.Science policy; knowledge and development; knowledge-based economy; knowledge clusters; knowledge corridors; Malaysia; Vietnam

Nuevos datos sobre el verdadero autor de «La Rani-ratiguerra» (1790), en la correspondencia del conde de Lumiares
No full textRESUMENEn la correspondencia que, entre 1773 y 1778, mantuvo Antonio Valcárcel Pío de Saboya, conde de Lumiares, con el ilustrado Gregorio Mayans y con el anticuario gaditano Antonio Mosti, se contienen ciertas manifestaciones relativas a una poesía manuscrita inédita que Valcárcel tenía intención de publicar de forma anónima pese a saber que su autor era el jesuita Martín Marín. El texto de dicho poema, conservado hoy en la Biblioteca Estense Universitaria de Módena, evidencia que se trata de la misma obra que en 1790 apareció publicada anónimamente en Valencia con el nombre de «La Raniratiguerra», y cuya autoría se atribuyó, bien entrado ya el siglo XIX, al dramaturgo José March Borrás; una atribución que ha perdurado hasta hoy y que debe ser objeto de revisión a la luz de los testimonios aportados por Valcárcel en su correspondencia.PALABRAS CLAVEConde de Lumiares, correspondencia, Batracomiomaquia, Rani-ratiguerra, José March Borrás, Martín Marín. TITLENew data about the true author of «La Rani-ratiguerra» (1790), in the correspondence of the count of Lumiares.ABSTRACTIn the correspondence maintained between 1773 and 1778 by Antonio Valcárcel Pío de Saboya, count of Lumiares, with the illustrated Gregorio Mayans and the antiquarian Antonio Mosti, there are certain manifestations related to an unpublished manuscript poetry that Valcárcel intended to publish anonymously despite knowing that its author was the jesuit Martín Marín. The text of this poem, preserved today in the Estense University Library of Modena, shows that it is the same poem that in 1790 was published anonymously in Valencia under the name of «La Rani-ratiguerra», whose authorship was attributed in the nineteenth century to the playwright José March Borrás; an attribution that has lasted until today and that must be object of revision in the light of the testimonies contributed by Valcárcel in his correspondence.KEY WORDSCount of Lumiares; correspondence, Batracomiomaquia, Rani-ratiguerra; José March Borrás, Martín Marín
Rigidity of frameworks / Daud Mohamad
No full textThe term "frameworks" is normally referred to a collection of rods and Connectors/hinges. However, some people tend to used terms such as linkages, linkworks and mechanisms. basically, in mathematics, a framework consists of two sets, a finite set of vertices and a finite set of edges. Many things can be considered as frameworks, from little things such as a cube or a triangle to larger constructions such as skycrapers and transmission line towers etc. One important characteristic of a framework which the author would like to discuss is rigidity. Consider one simple framework, that is a triangle. It is said to be rigid in R2 since we cannot change the relative position of its vertices. For a square, it is definitely not rigid, or we call it flexible since it can be transformed into a rhombus (refer Fig. 1) with the edge lengths remaining constant
Description of the Meaning of the Text and the Function of the Three Chants in the Rani Work Ceremony at GBKP (Batak Karo Protestant Church) Runggun Tiga Juhar, STM Hulu District, Deli Serdang District
No full textThis paper discusses three songs in the rani work ceremony at GBKP Runggun Tiga Juhar, STM Hulu sub-district, Deli Serdang Regency. Kerja rani is one of the ceremonies held on cultural week at GBKP Runggun Tiga Juhar. The rani work ceremony is one of the sources of church finances by collecting offerings and then conducting an auction. Some of the songs used in the rani work ceremony are Sendah kerja rani, Mbuah page, and Mejuah-juah. Sendah kerja rani is a song that must be sung because it is directly related to agriculture in the Karo tribe. While the other two songs, namely the songs Mbuah page and Mejuah-juah are taken from folk songs created by Djaga depari. This research aims to analyze the meaning of the text and the musical function of the three rani work ceremony songs. In answering the research objectives, the author uses the method of field work and desk work proposed by Bruno Netll. The theory used to answer the main problem in this paper is the semiotic theory pioneered by Roland Barthes, especially the meaning of denotation and connotation. The results of the study revealed that the rani work ceremony at GBKP Runggun Tiga Juhar is one way for the church to maintain culture and liven up the atmosphere of the ceremony. The three songs in the rani work ceremony have the process of the ceremony, the meaning of the text and its functions. It can be concluded that the rani work ceremony still continues by using the rani songs.100 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
