Konya'da öğretmenlik yapan İbrahim Aczî Kendî, Arapça ve Farsça öğrenerek kendini geliştirmiş, tasavvuf, edebiyat ve tarihle ilgili kitaplar hazırlamıştır. İbrahim Aczî Kendî'nin bizzat kendisinin kaleme aldığı, tek nüshası Yusuf Ağa Kütüphanesinde 10465/1 numara ile kayıtlı olan Devr-i Zaman adlı eseri, 360 Farsça rubâî ve bu rubâîlerin Osmanlı Türkçesiyle yazılmış açıklamalarından oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada İbrahim Aczî Kendî'nin hayatı incelenmiş, Devr-i Zaman adlı eserinde bulunan 360 rubâînin son 180 tanesi çalışılmıştır. Her bir rubâînin Farsça ana metinleri bilgisayar ortamına aktarılmış, bazen sadece tercüme, bazen de çeşitli açıklamalar içeren Osmanlı Türkçesiyle yazılan kısımlar ise latin harfleriyle aktarılmıştır. İbrahim Aczî Kendî, bu çalışmada ele alınan rubâîlerinde, genellikle ilahi aşk, toplumsal ahlâk, zamandan şikâyet, riya ve kibirden uzak durmanın gerekliliği gibi birçok konuya değinmiştir.İbrahim Aczî Kendî who lived the years between 1881 and 1965 in Konya is an important poet, a journalist, an investigate author, a mystic and a folklorist who raised by Konya in 20th century. İbrahim Aczî Kendi, worked as a tutor in Konya, improved himself by learning Arabian and Persian, prepared books about mysticism, literature and history. Devr-i zaman, which is written by İbrahim Aczî Kendî by himself and whose only transcript is registered with the number 104657/1 in Yusuf Ağa Library, is made of 360 Persian rubaies and their explanation which is written in Ottoman Turkish. In this study İbrahim Aczî Kendî's life and last 180 of 360 Persian rubaies are studied. Each of rubaies' Persian main texts are transferred to electronic environment. Parts that sometimes include translation, sometimes also include various types of explanations written Ottoman Turkish are transferred with Latin letters.

External interventions and the duration of civil wars
No full textThe authors combine an empirical model of external intervention, with a theoretical model of civil war duration. Their empirical model of intervention allows them to analyze civil war duration, using"expected"rather than"actual"external intervention as an explanatory variable in the duration model. Unlike previous studies, they find that external intervention is positively associated with the duration of civil war. They distinguish partial third-party interventions that extend the length of war, from multilateral"peace"operations, which have a mandate to restore peace without taking sides - and which typically take place at war's end, or at least when both sides have agreed to a cease-fire. In a future paper, the authors will examine whether partial third-party interventions - whatever their effect on a war's duration - increase the risk of war's recurrence. If that proves true, then even if interventions reduce the length of civil war, they may do so at the cost of further destabilizing the political system, and sowing the seeds of future rebellion.Children and Youth,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Social Conflict and Violence,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs

Dynamic Adaptive Video Streaming Over HTTP using Deep Learning Techniques
No full textA Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation in Engineering Systems Management by Maram Wahed Rashad Amin Helmy entitled, “Dynamic Adaptive Video Streaming Over HTTP using Deep Learning Techniques”, submitted in May 2025. Dissertation advisor is Dr. Mohamed S. Hassan and dissertation co-advisors are Dr. Usman Tariq and Dr. Mahmoud H. Ismail Ibrahim. Soft copy is available (Dissertation, Completion Certificate, Approval Signatures, and AUS Archives Consent Form).Maintaining a high Quality of Experience (QoE) in adaptive video streaming remains a significant challenge in the presence of dynamic and heterogeneous network environments. Traditional Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) algorithms in Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) often rely on basic throughput estimation methods that struggle to adapt to rapid network fluctuations caused by mobility and handoff events. These limitations lead to frequent playback interruptions, abrupt quality changes, and overall QoE degradation. This dissertation proposes a novel deep learning-based framework to enhance ABR decision-making by predicting future throughput with greater accuracy and responsiveness. A transformer-based throughput prediction model is developed to capture the complex temporal dependencies in network dynamics. The predicted throughput feeds into two novel intelligent modules: a mobility-aware throughput prediction system (MATH-P) that combines mobility classification with dynamic bandwidth forecasting, and a handoff-aware prediction engine (HATH-P) that anticipates transitions between access networks (e.g., 4G and 5G) to ensure seamless adaptation during handoff events. In addition, three novel ABR algorithms are introduced using deep reinforcement learning (DRL): a throughput-aware algorithm (THA-P) that directly incorporates predicted throughput into the decision process, a mobility-aware algorithm (MATH-P ABR) that adapts to user movement patterns, and a handoff-aware algorithm (HATH-P ABR) that optimizes decisions during access network transitions. These DRL-based agents are trained and evaluated in realistic mobility and network scenarios.Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed methods significantly outperform both heuristic and learning-based ABR algorithms across key QoE metrics, achieving higher bitrate utility, reduced rebuffering durations, smoother bitrate transitions, and improved overall playback quality. The contributions of this work offer a robust and intelligent approach to ABR in mobile and heterogeneous environments, paving the way for next-generation adaptive streaming solutions.College of EngineeringDepartment of Industrial EngineeringPhD in Engineering - Engineering Systems Management (PhD-ESM

Morphological and grammatical study of the fuctional derived nouns in the six anthologies by Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas / Ibrahim Shaaban
No full textThis research is a morphological, grammatical and analytical study on the multiplicity of the
scale of five derived nouns and their formulas as used in the six anthologies (dawawin) of
Senegalese Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi, based on the chosen rulings, methods and context
used by the author of the six collections. The research focuses and discusses on the subject
noun, the accusative noun, the hyperbolic participles, the attributive participle,
comparative/superlative adjective, and their scales and formulas, both standard and nonstandard,
and the usage of their multiple meanings according to the methods employed in these
six dawawin, including infinitive and augmented noun of three or four lettered origin, with
grammatical rulings associated with alif and lam (al), as selected or chosen according to the
usage of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi. In order to find out the context of morphological and
grammatical methods, analyses were made that acquaint readers with the taste of Sheikh
Ibrahim's ability in applying morphological and grammatical rules. Through extrapolation, the
morphological and syntactic source of each derivative was separately traced in those six
dawawin. In reviewing the morphological and syntactic language of those derivatives, books and
the theories of ancient and modern linguists, according to consensus and contrast, were used in
shedding light on each derived noun by studying the ancient morphological and syntactic
sources according to the information and theories derived therefrom and made analysis
thereon. In this regard, a morphological or grammatical context was established using a
qualitative rather than quantitative approach based on which the research was conducted and
its structure, sections and chapters arranged accordingly, with clarification and detailed
analyses. Findings of this research have established the functioning of morphological structure
and scales of the five derived nouns as well as the semantic meaning, application and usage of
augmented derived nouns as dealt with in their grammatical rulings associated with the Arabic
definite article - alif and lam (al), to enable them function in the past, present and future tenses,
and what not. The research concluded with a revelation which is indicative of Sheikh Ibrahim
Inyas’ ability and mastery of morphological scales and grammatical expertise as though he lived
with and learnt from Khalil, Sibawayh, Ibn Jinni and Asma'i and their ilk
