Contribution of Darul-‘Ulum Deoband to the Development of Tafsir
Get PDFMuslim scholars have discussed the
contribution of this Madrasah in the field of Tafsir as well, but the
literature produced thereby is inadequate in the sense that it does not
cover the whole range of Tafsir scholarship and the works contributed
thereby. Though the books by Maulana Ikhlaq Hussain Qasmi entitled
“‘Ulama-i-Deoband ki Tafsiri Khidmat”, and that of Maulana Nizam
al-Din Asir Adrawi entitled “Dabistan-e-Deoband ki ‘Ilmi Khidmat”
and the book by Dr. Rihana Sidiqi entitled “Maulana Thanwi Ki
Tafsir-e-Bayan al-Quran ka Tahqiqi wa Tanqidi Mutala‘h” besides
the articles by Maulana Hakim Anis Ahmad Sidiqi entitled “Darul-
‘Ulum ki Tafsiri Khidmat” by Maulvi Fudail Ahmad Nasiri entitled
“Ulama-i-Deoband ki Qurani khidmat” and that of Anis al-Rahman
Qasmi entitled “Alama Mufti Muhammad Shafi ki Tafsir-i-Ma‘arif alQuran ka Ja’iza”, have dealt with the issue partially and
superficially. These works can be termed as fundamental efforts in the5 | P a g e
direction of exploring the contribution of Darul ‘Ulum Deoband in
the field of religious sciences. However, the present work is an
attempt to make an in-depth study of the contribution of Darul ‘Ulum
Deoband in the field of Tafsir. The study will particularly analyze and
examine Tafsir-e-Bayan al-Quran of Maulana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanwi,
Tafsir-i-‘Uthmani of Maulana Shabir Ahmad ‘Uthmani and Ma‘arif
al-Quran of Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi. We have also clarified
in our study the popular misunderstanding about Darul ‘Ulum
Deoband of having been a centre of Fiqh learning alone

Get PDFThe debate on religious identities and inter-religious conflicts in South Asia emanates from the orientalist writings which perpetuate exclusive model of competing religio-cultural traditions in the region. Taking the thread forward Sandria Fretieg and Peter van der Veer view communalism inherent part of South Asian tradition, albeit transformed by the colonial encounter. It is in this context Peter van der Veer argues against treating religious discourse and practice as a mere smoke screen that hide the real clash of material interests. However, the neo-imperialist school historians popularly called Cambridge school view inter-religious conflict in South Asia as a product of economic hardships than expression of religious zeal. Writing about Allahabad between 1880 to 1920, C.A. Bayly concludes that religious attributions were often banners under which different economic and social groups organized whose motives have little to do with religion. Francis Robinson advances a similar claim about the Muslims of Uttar Pradesh in his “Separatism among Indian Muslims”. He says that in their pursuit of ―provincial, class and sectarian interests Muslim politicians adopted the Muslim identity when it suited them and discarded it when it had served their purpose.‖Digital copy of ThesisUniversity of Kashmir
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
