THE NARRATION ANALYSIS OF ‘ABBÂD B. YA‘QÛB AS A SYIAH RÂFIḌAH NARRATOR IN THE MAIN HADITH BOOK OF SUNNI
Authors: Amrulloh Amrulloh
Published: August 2019

Many scholars, both Muslim and Western, modern and contemporary, draw erroneous conclusions about the differences in theological flow in the context of the narration of hadith. One of the most crucial wrong conclusions is that the validity of the hadith is questioned because of ideological bias and political interest bias in the narration of the hadith. Whereas, a narrator widely labeled “Shafi’ah Rafi’ah”, an ideology that is claimed to be “extreme bid’ah” (al-ghuluw fi al-bid‘ah) by the Sunnis, namely ʻAbbâd b. Ya’qûb (w. 250 H), adorns many books of Sunni’s main hadith book. By applying the descriptive-analytical method and jarḥ wa ta‘dîl approach, the author is interested in exposing evidence that ‘Abbâd b. Ya‘qûb is a Shî’ah-Râfiḍah. The author is also interested in exploring the existence of ʻAbbâd in the Sunni main hadith books and analyzing the value of the hadith narrated by ‘Abbâd and the substance of the hadith narrated by ʻAbbâd in the books of the Sunni main hadith. This study proves that ‘Abbâd b. Ya‘qûb was a Hadith narrator of Syiah-Râfiḍah ideological. However, the existence of the ‘Abbâd as narrators calculated in the compilation Sunni’s Hadith main books (ummahât kutub al-ḥadîth) cannot be negated
Accounting Engineering and Management of Results
Authors: Popescu Laura-Maria , Nișulescu-Ashrafzadeh Ileana
Published: August 2019

Accounting means normally a basis while making management decisions; it is the information tool in order to highlight the strategies and to confirm their success. There are also cases where the roles are reversed and the management delineates the accounting directions according to the results obtained, thus being transformed from the company management for results to the results themselves. Even if over time, the information and activity monitoring techniques improved, the precision of the economic and financial data remains dependent on the reporting referential and the manipulation technique of the results. The article is meant to highlight the items capable to characterise the choice of a management based on results, the conditions of its development, how the financial and accounting information users are affected, particularly the investors, as well as how it can be detected. It is also highlighted the fact that the management based on results plays a very important role for the apparition and development of the accounting engineering at the level of company by the determination it exercises over the managers while achieving or surpassing the objectives. Thus, there is the issue of a false reflection of the company’s activity, regarded by the prism of the management objectives, making particularly sensitive the passage from the economic reality of the company to the management ideals of the management.

The financial and accounting information remains as main source of reflection of the economic activity and of the results of these activities, both for the own managers of the entities and for the large diversity of third parties: providers, customers, employees, investors, banks, State institutions etc., that makes it vulnerable in front of the external actions. It is important that in any management plan, its accounting represents a source of information for the management and not a means of obtaining the results.

Published: August 2019

Majority of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems that is being deployed and implemented all over the world utilizes a much larger network that is complex and expensive. This paper provides and demonstrates a cheaper alternative. The developed system which may be used for domestic applications has the ability to monitor the supply voltage, speed, casing and stator temperature as well as to control the speed of the motor. It can transmit the data of these monitored parameters, wirelessly, between the base station (site) and mobile station (android phone) through Bluetooth. The mobile station serves as the display medium to enable the user to view these parameters and also have input keypads that the user can use to alter the speed. To achieve this, an embedded system was used which involves the programming of PIC microcontrollers using assembly language. Other discrete components such as resistor, capacitor, transistors etc. were also utilized. A variable frequency driver was designed to drive the induction motor and interface with the microcontroller. After the design, construction and testing, the results were satisfactory as the SCADA system could alter induction motor speeds, collate motor casing and stator temperature, supply voltage and speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) and transmit them to the android phone. Temperature range of 24ºC to 51ºC, motor speed of 747 to 2234 RPM, and supply voltage of 179 to 221V AC was measured.

Published: August 2019

The main objective of this paper is to detect vandal and vandalism by monitoring recorded video sequences. Vandalism is one of the most commonly occurring crimes in the society that indirectly affects the economy of the country. The proposed algorithm takes in the input from the video extracted from surveillance camera which prevails in public places. Further, it is converted into frames and subtracted with the background to detect the foreground object. The background subtracted image contains both human and non-human moving objects. In order to differentiate human pixels and other moving objects in the video sequence, discriminative features are extracted using deep architecture and classified using SVM classifier. Deep features proved to be highly discriminative when compared with the handcrafted Histogram of Oriented Gradients features. By analyzing the dwell time of the person in the restricted scene and his motion pattern with time and significant change in background vandalism act is declared and the person is considered as vandal. The proposed method was evaluated on the videos collected from You Tube with the contents taken during night time, multiple vandals, car vandals etc.

Published: August 2019

Light, apart from making it possible for one to view objects clearly, can also be used for the beautification of any given space. Existing 1000 Seat Lecture Theatre auditorium lights lux level (115 lux) is below acceptable of for an auditorium suitable for writing during examination. This paper focus on illumination evaluation of a lecture theatre, case study of 1000 Seat lecture theatre, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. The auditorium is used for lecture and writing examination. Lumen method which is one of the methods for calculation the number of lamp for a space is used to determine the number of lamp needed for the studied area. The architectural design of the auditorium is not available, so, the dimensions of the floor of the studied area were measured with a measuring tape. The measured floor dimensions was used to produce model of the floor in autoCAD software in order to calculate the area of the floor because the auditorium was of irregular shape and different mounting heights. The obtained area is used to calculate the illuminance required for the auditorium using Lumen method, equation. Try and error method was used in selecting E, Mf and Uf  to arrive at 115Lux  of the studied area. Lumen method, putting into consideration standard maintenance factor (0.8) and utilization factor (0.7) of existing literatures and renowned consultancy firms were used.  This paper submitted that the lux level of the 1000 Seat Lecture Theatre (SLT) is below acceptable international standard of 400lux (standard and the industrial practice) for a classroom-auditorium suitable for writing examination.  The space is poorly illuminated (33.3% of the required illumination and 20% wattage contribution of the design.) using EDA 18W compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). The existing 2 x 18W CFL installed in the SLT should be replaced with 85W (5500lumen, 5500K, 10000Hrs) CFL because of its benefits. 400 Lux is adequate for Lecture Theatre Auditorium lux level; lighting designer should employ adequate lux level to avoid negative side effects of poor illumination.
A Study of Nonreciprocal Coupled Ferrite-Dielectric Image Guide Structure for Ka-band
Authors: Arestova Iliyana Ilieva
Published: August 2019

The nonreciprocal coupled ferrite-dielectric image guide structure with the same geometry as in our previous experimental investigation has been studied numerically by finite element method in the frequency range 26–40 GHz. The ferrite element in the experiment has been inhomogeneously magnetized by using a disk-shaped permanent magnet, whose diameter is comparable with the length of the ferrite bar.  Recently, we have modelled the ferrite element as homogeneously magnetized perpendicularly to the ground plane and the direction of propagation. This homogeneous magnetization represents first approximation of the real inhomogeneous one. Here we have extended the numerical examination of the nonreciprocity and as a result we have proposed a procedure for designing isolators with inhomogeneous magnetization. Also, we have investigated the influence of several parameters – permanent magnetic field strength and three ferrite material parameters (saturation magnetization, relative dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss tangent) on the nonreciprocal behavior of the coupled ferrite-dielectric structure.

Published: August 2019

Leaching of iron from ilmenite ore using a binary solution (HCl-NaNO3) was investigated. The raw ilmenite ore sample was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and X-ray Flourescence (XRF) techniques. The influence of acid concentration, oxidant concentration, particle size, solution temperature, stirring speed and liquid-to-solid ratios on the extent of dissolution was examined. The experimental data obtained at various process parameter conditions were tested in six kinetics models: shrinking core model’s diffusion through liquid film model(DTLF), diffusion through product layer model (DTPL), surface chemical reaction model (SCR)); mixed kinetics model (MKM), Jander (three dimensional) model and Kröger and Ziegler model. The crystalline morphology of the sample was displayed by the SEM micrograph. XRF result revealed the dominance of titanium and iron in ilmenite while XRD confirmed that ilmenite exist mainly as FeTiO2. The results of the leaching studies showed that ilmenite dissolution in the binary solution increases with increasing acid concentration, oxidant concentration, reaction temperature, stirring speed and liquid-to-solid ratio; while it decreases with particle size. The study showed that 94.77% iron was dissolved by 1MHCl-0.6M NaNO3 at 75μm particle size, 75˚C reaction temperature, 300rpm stirring speed and 30L/g liquid-to-solid ratio. The kinetics of the leaching process was best described by Kröger and Ziegler model with diffusion through the product layer as rate controlling step. The activation energy, Ea, was calculated to be 6.42kJ/mol. The results indicate that HCl-NaNO3 binary solution can be used as an effective lixiviant for extracting iron from ilmenite ores.

Authors: Udayani Wiwik , Amin Muhammad , M Makhfudli
Published: August 2019

The Buteyko technique can reduce asthma symptoms, reduce the use of bronchodilators but few and not significant in reducing bronchial responsiveness. Physical exercise that complements breathing exercises in pulmonary rehabilitation can improve pulmonary physiology and control asthma. Physical exercise in the form of walking can improve pulmonary physiology and asthma control by reducing hyperesponsivity reactions and increasing cardiorespiratory endurance. But the combination of these two exercises has never been studied. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of a combination of Buteyko breathing techniques and walking exercises on Peak Forced Expiration Flow. The design of this study was quasi experimental with pretest-posttest control group design. The location of the study was in the pulmonary clinic of Regional General Hospital of Sidoarjo Regency and Bangil Regional General Hospital in Pasuruan Regency, East Java. Respondents were selected by randomization by simple random sampling. Respondents in this study amounted to 76 respondents. Forced Expiration Peak Flow Data is measured using a peak flow meter. The intervention group was given a combination exercise with Buteyko breathing technique and walking exercise for 8 weeks, 3x per week, 55 minutes every training session. Giving a combination of Buteyko breathing technique and walking exercises using module and video media. FPEF measurements were carried out 3 times (pretest, week 4, week 8). Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 with GLM-RM (General Linear Model-Repeated Measure) ANOVA. The results showed a significant difference in the FPEF rate between before and after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of the combination intervention of the Buteyko breathing technique and walking exercises in the treatment group with (p <0.05) with p = 0.000. The findings indicate that breathing exercises and physical exercise through a combination of Buteyko breathing techniques and walking exercise can increase the FPEF rate through the mechanism of increasing CO2 and producing nitric oxide which has bronchodilation effects and through decreasing inflammatory mediators so that it can reduce asthma symptoms.This exercise can be used as an alternative choice in supporting pharmacological therapy to improve FPEF.

Gallis Magis quam romanis similes: os irmãos Fábios e o trágico destino de Roma (Lívio, Ab Urbe Cond., v, 35-39)
Authors: Almeida Priscilla Adriane Ferreira
Published: August 2019

Este artigo pretende analisar o papel desempenhado pelos irmãos Fábios em Lívio, V, 35-39, e como a conduta deles de alguma forma contribuiu para o trágico destino de Roma, que foi saqueada pelos gauleses. Entre os capítulos V, 35-36, Lívio narrou o ataque gaulês à cidade de Clúsio. Os romanos, chamados para ajudar, enviaram os irmãos Fábios como emissários, a fim de tentar um acordo de paz com os invasores. Essa tentativa, contudo, tornou-se um grande fracasso, já que os Fábios desrespeitaram o direito das nações e atacaram os gauleses. Levando em consideração essa terrível atitude praticada pelos Fábios e o iminente saque de Roma dentro da narrativa liviana, este artigo analisa o papel da Fortuna (sorte) nos acontecimentos descritos em Lívio, V, 36-39. Além disso, discute-se a conduta desonrosa dos romanos, entre V, 37-38, que culminou na derrota deles, próximo ao rio Ália. Por fim, esse artigo examina a maneira como Lívio desenvolveu cada episódio em V, 39 como uma reconquista da virtude romana, com exemplos de coragem do povo romano e respeito aos deuses, outrora desprezados. São realizados ainda um estudo dos elementos retóricos e literários empregados por Lívio para caracterizar romanos e gauleses e retratar os fatos ocorridos, bem como a análise de alguns conceitos-chave, como fides, pietas, concordia e mos maiorum.
A ‘Evidência’ (Enárgeia) na Ilíada segundo os escólios exegéticos (bT) em paralelo com as lições dos Retores do período helenístico e imperial
Authors: Freitas Gustavo Araújo de
Published: August 2019

Os escólios bT da Ilíada abordam aspectos poéticos e retóricos do texto de Homero, sendo a maioria de suas lições derivada de estudiosos do final do período helenístico e início do período romano, que consolidavam o trabalho de críticos mais antigos. Assim, parecem em geral refletir uma terminologia crítica e pontos de vista do séc. I a.C. e dos dois primeiros séculos d.C. (Richardson, 1980, p. 265). De fato, os escólios bT absorveram uma concepção muito disseminada entre os que se interessaram pelo estilo de Homero nesse período: a “evidência” (ἐνάργεια). Esse conceito, que envolve a construção mental de uma imagem, provém de discussões filosóficas, e principalmente os estoicos, devido às suas pesquisas sobre a linguagem, tiveram uma grande influência entre os retores. Sendo assim, com o auxílio das informações de tratados de estilística dos períodos helenístico e imperial que abordaram aspectos da “evidência” em Homero – com destaque para os tratados Sobre o estilo de Demétrio e Sobre a composição de Dionísio de Halicarnasso –, além de outras informações em tratados menores de tropos e figuras e mesmo em lições gramaticais (como se lê nos escólios D), espero chegar a uma melhor compreensão acerca da concepção da “evidência” e de sua utilização na crítica estilística do poeta, de modo a verificar, afinal, os ecos dessa utilização nos chamados escólios exegéticos da Ilíada.
