THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ISLAH MOVEMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONALISM AND ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN PRE-INDEPENDENT MALAYSIA
Authors: Zakariya Hafiz
Published: January 2020

The advent of the Islah movement in Malay Peninsula during the early twentieth century challenged the status quo and the existing political and religious institutions. It created a major controversy and tension between the reformists and those supporting the existing order. Consequently, some Muslims were suspicious of the reformists. This was primarily due to their non-adherence to the Shafi’i school of Islamic law, which was adopted by the majority of Muslims not only in Malay Peninsula, but the Nusantara in general. Amid such controversy, some people overlook and even dismiss the contribution of the reformists. Therefore, this article re-examines both the short and long-term contribution of the Islah movement to Malay society.
FOREIGNIZING OR DOMESTICATING ENGLISH CHILDREN’S LITERATURE TRANSLATED INTO ARABIC: THE CASE OF ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
Authors: Sayaheen Mohannad , Tengku Mahadi Tengku Sepora , Sayaheen Bilal
Published: January 2020

This study investigated two significant translation methods, namely foreignization and domestication, when translating children’s literature from English into Arabic. The purpose of the study is to find answers for two questions. First, do the norms regulate the translation of English children’s literature into Arabic. Second, to which method do translators opt for when translating English children’s literature into Arabic. The current paper attempts to identifying whether translating English children’s literature into Arabic is regulated by norms or not. The translator has one option when translating a text, either to domesticate or to foreignize the text based on Schleiermacher’s method of translation. Two translated versions of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland were analysed at the level of diction and discourse. A descriptive analysis of the norms was used to analyse this study and specific theoretical frameworks were used by the researchers in order to classify the selected items. The classification included ten major categories proposed by Klingberg (1986). After spotting the selected items based on the mentioned theoretical framework, each item translated in both versions was classified based on the two main methods that consist the centre of the current study i.e., domestication and foreignization Pedersen (2005). The results of the analysis show that the translations of these two Arabic versions are not systematically regulated by norms; examples of both foreignization and domestication were found in both versions. However, the analysis shows that either domestication or foreignization is more prevalent in each version.
ENGLISH LITERATURE INSTRUCTORS’ BELIEFS AND ACTUAL PRACTICES OF INTEGRATING WEB APPLICATIONS IN HA’IL UNIVERSITY
Authors: Elgoudman Khatmeh Suleiman , Yunus Kamariah
Published: January 2020

This study purports to explore differences and similarities between literature instructors’ beliefs and actual practices of integrating Web applications in literature courses in Ha'il University. This study was designed as a descriptive case-study triangulating several data collection methods such as semi-structured interviews and observation. The data of the interviews and observation were analysed in themes. The results showed that a majority of instructors’ beliefs aligned well with their practices about integrating Web applications with teaching literature while one participant’s beliefs conflicted with her teaching practices. Result also supported the argument that instructor belief plays an important role in instructional decision making in the teaching practice while sometimes differed with their classroom practice. Results also revealed that the actual Web applications usage found in the four cases demonstrated positive result for the integration of Web applications. This provides evidence to support previous research results about the benefits that Web applications have in possibly connecting informal learning to the formal learning environment. On the other hand, although four individual instructors’ actual use of Web applications differed from case to case, they all believed that there were many benefits as well as challenges when integrating Web applications in literature courses. Furthermore, the results demonstrated an increasing usage trend among the four individual participants based on the estimated percentage of Web applications usage in their literature courses. Nonetheless, four participants in this study seemed to only bring out a few aspects of Web applications’ potential. To make the best of Web applications, more research is needed in identifying best practices of various Web applications in teaching literature and explaining complicated instructors' beliefs about the effectiveness of Web applications in teaching literature.
‘COMMON ENGLISH CUSTOMS’: THE CAPTIVE CHARACTER
OFABDULLAH MUNSHI IN HIS TRAVELOGUE, KISAH PELAYARAN ABDULLAH
Authors: Hamdan Rahimah , Sujud Arba’ie , Bahari Nik Nur Hasmiru Husna
Published: January 2020

This paper was aimed at identifying the captive attitude of Abdullah Munshi in his writings and to analyse its relationship to his conferment of the title ‘The Father of Modern Malay Literature’ by the West. It was Abdullah Munshi’s courage in challenging the existing literary conventions and in introducing a Western style of writing to Malay audiences that earned him this title. This recognition made him the most credible Malay literary figure from the perspective of the Western colonialists, especially with the writing of his first travelogue, Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah. His reputation continued to rise until several scholars began to dispute his credibility by arguing that he did not deserve to be recognised as such. He was labelled as an individual who was captivated by everything concerning his Western benefactors, as mirrored in his magnum opus. With this phenomenon in mind, the text analysis method was applied, based on Syed Hussein Alatas’ concept of a captive character, to the first Malay travelogue, Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah. The findings of this study revealed that Abdullah Munshi was a person whose character conformed to five basic criteria underlining this concept namely, a person who copies the activities of Westerners and regards them as beneficial; a person who is unable to raise new questions in life; a person who regards Western knowledge to be the best; a person who accepts the suggestions of Westerners without objection; and a person who thinks so highly of the West that he fails to realize that he himself has become a captive. This means that Abdullah Munshi was a person who was a captive of the West, as he himself revealed in his travelogue. To summarize, it can be proven that the recognition accorded to Abdullah Munshi as ‘The Father of Modern Malay Literature’, which led to the separation of Malay literature into two periods, was the best agenda by the West to ensure the relevance of their presence in the colonies, particularly in the Malay World.
ARCHETYPE OF PATRIARCHY IN SAHAR KHALIFEH’S WILD THORNS
Authors: Khresheh Saqer Salameh Ahmad Sahmasin , Radwan Ady
Published: January 2020

Wild Thorns by Sahar Khalifeh emphases on the Zionist occupation of Palestine. It reflects the Zionist occupation as patriarchy. This research aims at inspecting the type of occupation that has been symbolized in the form of patriarchy in Wild Thorns. The research has been directed depending on Jungian criticism that interprets literature as a source of “archetypes”. Therefore, the research aims at interpreting the archetype of patriarchy proposed in Freud’s Totem and Taboo. Depending on this theory, humanity experienced father dominance over children and wives. Accordingly, a revolution or resistance by children and wives is justified due to the bad deeds imposed by the father dominance. In such a way, Patriarchy is embodied in Wild Thorns by the depiction of the relationship between the occupier and the occupied that enables Israel to play the role of a father who imposed bad regulations that made people live in Palestine difficult.

Published: January 2020

Despite the fact that stemming greatly improves Arabic information retrieval performance, yet no standard stemmer emerges in the field of Arabic IR due to some limitations and shortcomings. Among the recurring problems is that the stemmer can reduce unrelated words to the same stem as well as fall short to reduce related words to a common stem. Many studies have suggested Arabic algorithms to address the problem associated with stemming. This paper aims to review the state of the retrieval performance of Arabic Light stemmers based on the main objectives achieved, causes for retrieval success and failure, retrieval measure, the affixes, and methodologies. The results showed that light 10 has better retrieval performance compared to other reviewed Arabic light stemmers.

Authors: Mohamed Fisol Wan Nazjmi , Albasri Siti Hafsha , Padungraksart Abdulghani
Published: January 2020

Capital market investors in Malaysia have the choice of whether to invest in conventional funds or in Shari’ah compliant funds. However, Islamic law (Shari’ah) is concerned with the moral or ethical value of commercial transactions. Basically, the Muslims are governed by the rules and regulations in respect of halal (permissible) and haram (prohibited). Hence, the objective of the study has been explored the Shari’ah compliant funds products which based on the Maqasid Shari’ah framework due to the five preservations or protections (Protection of Religion, Protection of Life, Protection of Intellect, Protection of Progeny and Protection of wealth). Most of the products offered and developed in Shari’ah compliant public equity funds should be in line with the Maqasid Shari’ah perspective as sustainable of financial planning which bring to the social well-being and impartiality for the public interest (maslahah) by taking into consideration of five preservation, namely the preservation of religion (al-ddin), the preservation of life (al-nafs), the preservation of intellect (al-all), the preservation of progeny (al-nasl) and the preservation of wealth (al-mal). Therefore, it is important not only in developing Islamic equity funds as a part of industry growing but then beyond that to fulfill the needs of Muslims as well for all the others as well as enhancing halal sustainability through Islamic equity funds product development.
ISLAMIC EDUCATION WITH REFERENCE TO PONDOK IN PATANI: SOME REFLECTIONS
Authors: Dorloh Sulaiman , Hashim Ibrahim
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this paper is to discuss Islamic education in Pondok includes textbooks and its curriculums. The Pondok education could not be ignored in the local Malay-Muslims society of southern Thailand but the study of Islam at Pondok compared to the study of Islam at the local universities is so far being disturbed. Although there have been attempts to introduce Pondok education in government universities such as Prince of Songkhla University (PSU). There was no attempt to integrate the two systems of education together. To a large extent, the two systems are offered and studied in isolation. The paper concludes that the government should recognize the existence of Pondok education institutions as an alternative choice for the local Malay-speaking population to study Islam in the kingdom. The study suggests that adequate attention has to be given by the authority for the improvement of Pondok education.
Autonomous Weapon Systems, Asymmetrical Warfare, and Myth
Authors: Klincewicz Michał
Published: January 2020

Predictions about autonomous weapon systems (AWS) are typically thought to channel fears that drove all the myths about intelligence embodied in matter. One of these is the idea that the technology can get out of control and ultimately lead to horrifi c consequences, as is the case in Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein. Given this, predictions about AWS are sometimes dismissed as science-fiction fear-mongering. This paper considers several analogies between AWS and other weapon systems and ultimately offers an argument that nuclear weapons and their effect on the development of modern asymmetrical warfare are the best analogy to the introduction of AWS. The fi nal section focuses on this analogy and offers speculations about the likely consequences of AWS being hacked. These speculations tacitly draw on myths and tropes about technology and AI from popular fi ction, such as Frankenstein, to project a convincing model of the risks and benefi ts of AWS deployment.
Polska - wieczny projekt modernizacyjny?
Authors: Wawrzynowicz Andrzej
Published: January 2020

Tekst zawiera próbę ujęcia dziejów nowoczesnej myśli politycznej w Polsce przez pryzmat sporu o definicję podstaw tożsamości narodowej. Historyczną osią tego sporu jest zarysowująca się w XIX wieku opozycja dwóch konkurencyjnych stanowisk w tym zakresie: idealistycznego – opartego na koncepcji narodu jako duchowej wspólnoty idei, oraz realistycznego – odwołującej się do założeń pragmatycznie pojętej, materialnej wspólnoty interesu narodowego. Celem rozważań jest krytyczne zbadanie filozoficzno-historycznego tła powstania i rozwoju drugiego z tych stanowisk, uważanego współcześnie za wolną od wszelkiej deformacji ideologicznej, obiektywną wykładnię nowoczesnego pojęcia narodowości. Czy tak jest rzeczywiście?

The performance of MIMO-OFDM network gets affected due to problems in the channel estimation which is essential for designing receivers. The issues in MIMO are due to sizable inadequate Cyclic Prefix (CP) in admired Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), a massive amount of detection error and channel estimation problem occurs due to which performance delay turn out. This paper proposes a solution, its implementation and analysis of results. The article uses the BAT and Modified Flower Pollination (MFP) algorithm for optimizing the CP length. Minimum CP length gets considered to achieve better throughput for the same MFP algorithm. This algorithm has been proposed to optimize CP length to achieve minimum error rate of bit (BER) and PAPR-Peak to average power ratio, thereby maximizing the spectrum efficiency. For comparing the efficacy of optimized CP and unoptimized CP, the paper examines the results obtained on studying the performance in the spectrum. The performance of BAT and MFP algorithm are compared with each other to determine the better optimization methodology for the problem.
Online Impedance Estimation of Sealed Lead Acid & Lithium Nickel - Cobalt - Manganese Oxide Batteries using a Rapid Excitation Signal
Authors: Alao Olakunle , Barendse Paul
Published: January 2020

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) has
gained traction as a technique apt for condition monitoring of batteries. The
drawback of EIS is that it is only applicable when the system is offline (i.e.
it must be disconnected from the load), takes a long time to complete and
requires an expensive equipment for measurement. This work aims to adapt the
EIS to serve as an in-situ measurement technique, that can be utilized for
online condition monitoring of two unique battery chemistries – lead acid and
lithium NCM. This work develops in twofold – firstly, the Chirp broadband
signal is proposed amongst a variety of other broadband signals to
significantly shorten the time required for EIS measurement. Subsequently, a power
converter that is typically used to interface a battery with the load for
current and voltage regulation functions, is utilized for online condition
monitoring of both batteries through closed loop control of the power converter
and duty-cycle perturbation. This combined approach presents a novel low-cost technique
for online condition monitoring of batteries, with the ability to complete battery
characterization in a very short time. In this regard, EIS measurement is
completed for a lead acid battery (with lowest EIS characterization frequency
of 0.1Hz) in 5 seconds and lithium NCM battery (with lowest EIS
characterization frequency of 20mHz) in 25 seconds.

Biografistyka w służbie edukacji obywatelskiej społeczeństwa
Authors: Bereszyński Zbigniew
Published: January 2020

Bardzo ważną rolę w procesie szeroko rozumianej edukacji obywatelskiej społeczeństwa może i powinna odgrywać wiedza czerpana z badań nad biografiami rozmaitych postaci historycznych. Edukacyjne funkcje biografistyki mogą być realizowane w szczególności z pomocą takich środków jako popularne publikacje historyczne, zwłaszcza adresowane do młodzieży, fundowanie pomników czy tablic pamiątkowych czy odpowiednie regulacje w zakresie nazewnictwa ulic i innych miejsc publicznych. Jest rzeczą niezmiernie ważną, by wszelkie inicjatywy w tej dziedzinie odwoływały się do rzetelnych badań historycznych nad poszczególnymi postaciami. Niestety w praktyce bywa z tym rozmaicie. Częstym zjawiskiem bywa idealizowanie wybranych postaci historycznych i mniej lub bardziej sztuczne kreowanie ich kultu, polegające w szczególności na selektywnym wykorzystaniu informacji historycznych. Jaskrawym przykładem tego jest skrajna idealizacja pewnych postaci z najnowszej historii Opola.
