أهمية الدراسات البينيَّة بالنهوض الأكاديمي في دراسة الفن وفق التفكير المقاصدي
Authors: عكاشة رائد جميل
Published: February 2020

تحاول الدراسة بناء تصور حول برنامج للفنون بناءً على مقاصد الشريعة، وأهمية الدراسات البينية والتكاملية في تحقيق توازن بين البنية المعرفية الإسلامية الممثلة في الأصول التأسيسية (القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية) والتراث الحضاري من جهة، وعلوم العصر من جهة أخرى. لقد غدت التكاملية إطاراً مرجعياً ومعياراً لفهم العلاقات بين العلوم، وإعادة تنظيمها، واكتشاف أواصر القربى بينها، لا سيما بين تلك العلوم ذات الحقول الدلالية المشتركة كما في العلوم الاجتماعية والعلوم الإنسانية. ومنهجية التفكير المقاصدي مهمة في نقل التفكير من صفة الجزئية إلى صفة الكلية، حتى يستوعب الظاهرة بصورة أكثر شمولية.

إن التوازن المشار إليه يفيد في تحديد نوعية الخطاب الفني المناسب للمرحلة، ويعمل على تأسيس البرنامج التعليمي للفن بناء على التصوّر المعرفي والوظيفة الحضارية للفن أولاً (المعرفة)، وليس على تركيبته وبُعده الفني والجمالي (العلم)، وسيُفعّل فكرة البدائل الحضارية التي هي جزء أصيل من التفكير المقاصدي.

This study attempts to develop a conception of art program of study based on the purposes of the Shari'a (maqasid), and the importance of interdisciplinary and integrative studies to achieve a balance between the Islamic knowledge structure in the founding sources (Quran and Sunnah) on the one hand, and the cultural heritage and contemporary knowledge in the other. Integration has become a frame of reference and a criterion for understanding, reconstructing and reconciling knowledge, especially knowledge with common semantic fields, such as social sciences and humanities.

The approach of maqasidi thinking is important in moving from partial thinking to a wider space of global thinking in order to comprehend the phenomenon in a more comprehensive way. The balance referred to is useful in determining the quality of an appropriate artistic discourse. It helps to establish an educational art program based on the cognitive perception and cultural function of art; i.e., knowledge, not on its composition and its artistic aesthetic dimension (science). It will also activate the idea of cultural alternatives, as an integral part of the maqasidi thinking.

The Indian banking system of an economy is of foremost importance for its financial and economicdevelopment. It forms the core of the financial sector and plays a critical role in transmitting monetary policyimpulses to the entire economic system. Hence the stability of banking sector is of paramount importance for thedevelopment of an economy. Non-performing assets(NPAs) or loans are growing issue in commercial banks especially in Indian Public sector banks which are facing huge losses due to accumulated NPAs over the past twenty year. As 90% of the total NPA isheld with public sector banks, it is essential to focus on the procedure of giving loans by them and proper verification of collateral and other reliability to repay the loan. The extensive lending by the banks to companies during the boom phase of the economy(e.g.2008-09) without proper documentation (relaxed) leads to such rising NPA levels. This paper focuses onthe accumulation of NPAs and its implications on sectors’economic performance. It also specifically emphasizes the efficacyof SARFAESI Act, DRT tribunals, IBC (Insolvency Bankruptcy Code 2016) as mitigation of NPAs. The problem of double trust dilemma in the context of NPAs has been introduced is a case of investor and innovator.

Massive Multi-Input and Multi-Output (MIMO) antenna system provides unlimited capacity by the spatial multiplexing and array gain. Since the data rate has been limited by the coherence interference due to pilot contamination (PC). In this paper, we propose transmit combine and precoding schemes to achieve asymptotic capacity in multi-cell scenario, when the number of base station antennas tends to infinity. The impact of spatial channel correlation on channel capacity is explored by considering the co-variance matrices of the user –terminals (UT)s .To do this, we presented linear processing schemes such as MMSE,MRC, and ZF.Where MMSE achieves high capacity in the presence of large-scale fading and PC. Since the diagonals of the channel covariance matrices were designed with non- zero Eigen values and linearly independent. The results outperform and obtain asymptotic limit, when the co-variance of UTs are linearly independent. The results were simulated by using MATLAB 2018b.

Image segmentation gained significant importance in recent years. The goal of segmentation is partitioning an image into distinct regions containing each pixel with similar attributes. Several Image segmentation techniques exist based on thresholding and clustering. Image segmentation based on thresholding is typically doesn’t find any objects and bounds (lines, curves, etc.) in image. To boost the segmentation performance based on thresholding strategies, a unique strategy that integrates the spacial information between pixel’s is designed. The proposed strategy utilizes pixel’s grey level Gradient magnitude and gray level spacial correlation at intervals a part to construct a unique two dimensional bar graph, known as GLGM & GLSC. This technique is valid through segmenting many real world pictures. Experimental results proved this method outperforms several existing Thresholding strategies.

The paper aims to statistically analysis the relationship between the determinants of household’s participation in recycling Behaviour. The study proposes to add new constructs that affect Behaviour in the existing TPB framework, which is the relationship between attitude, convenient of segregation, perceived recycling knowledge, and availability of public policy, perceived Behavioural control and social pressure towards participation in recycling Behaviour. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to targeted households in Selangor. The sampling frame of this study comprise of households randomly selected from the twelve municipal councils in Selangor. A total of 800 questionnaires were distributed to respondents. The model was validated and tested using partial least square modelling. The findings showed that attitude, perceived recycling knowledge, perceived Behavioural control and social pressure positively contribute to high participation towards recycling Behaviour. The results generated from the path analysis indicate the model applied in this study, has a moderately good model fit with R2-value of 0.542 for the relationship between the six determinants and participation in recycling Behaviour. The findings suggest that 54.2 per cent of the variance in participation in recycling Behaviour can be explained by attitude, convenient for segregation, recycling knowledge, public policy, perceived Behavioural control and social pressure. It is recommended that government policies are tighten as the recycling activities is gaining more important foothold given that the future sustainability of mother nature begin now. If the practice is not enforced now, the trend of global warming and other extreme severities will take a toll on the life of all living creatures.

In this paper, we have proposed an approach of PDF based text Steganography by considering the hiding capacity and security of secret information, and improved imperceptibility of stego-cover file. In proposed approach secret information are transformed into compact and encrypted form of imperceptible coding, and then translated into bits form, thereafter embedded into targeted locations of PDF file by applying new cross-reference coding technique in incremental updates of PDF file with less computation complexity. The proposed extraction process provides authentication of received stego-cover file such that only desired file is accepted for the extraction process otherwise fake file is discarded by recipient. Time complexity has been improved significantly by implementing a novel method of PDF steganography for embedding the secret data. Experimental result demonstrates that proposed method provides efficient algorithms in terms of improved security of hidden information.

Nowadays many people deaths in the world were reported from vehicle traffic accidents that involved with pedestrian impact in higher percentage. This percentage may increase if there is no strong attention to the pedestrian safety from automakers and authorities. This study will focus on the analysis of pedestrian head impact on a car hood with different types of materials; also the hood thickness will be analysed with different measurements during the head test impact using the numerical simulation analysis which is available in ANSYS finite element software. The pedestrian head and front hood will be modelled using CAD software. Therefore the simulation will demonstrate the effects on the impact performance for each type of materials with different thickness used in this research. The observation from the numerical analysis showed that aluminium had high deformation as compared to steel and magnesium materials of hood. The steel had lowest deformation but it had higher equivalent stress when compared to aluminium and magnesium. Furthermore the lowest type of thickness produced high deformation and high equivalent stress value for each material type. In general each material had its own characteristic; therefore manufacturers can evaluate the lower material cost or design a safe front hood using the same material but with different thickness that suitable for pedestrian safety.
