Authors: Mustafa@Busu Zanirah , Tasir Sıtı Fatimah , Mat Jusoh Nor Asmira
Published: June 2019

The method and manner of dressing, whether it is halal or haram have been extensively discussed by many scholars to ensure that the clothes Muslims wear go beyond covering their bodies; it also has to do with the well-being of the individuals as well as the community. All the dress codes specified by Allah and His Messenger form the guiding principles for Muslims as part of their way of life. This article discusses the dressing code in terms of clothing and accessories in Islam for both men and women. This code illustrates what is allowed and not allowed in the selection of clothing and accessories as well as the justifications for obeying this code in daily life. This study covers the actual definition of the concept of aurah according to Islam, women's hijab and veil, jewelry for women and men, and the dress codes of women and men. The findings of the study indicate that in Islam, fashion involving clothing and accessories can fulfil the current needs of society as long as the dress code is adhered to.

Published: June 2019

Automatic Transmission (AT) system is efficient in the aspects of vehicle safety, comfort, reliability and driving performance. The objectives of this paper are to collect the oil samples from AT systems of engine bus according to manufacturer's recommendations and analyse collected oil samples using oil analysis technique. The sample transmission fluid which was taken from the AT gearbox has been experimentally analyzed. The oil samples were taken with an interval of 5,000km, 30,000km, 50,000km, 80,000km, 180,000km and 300,000km for AT bus operation. These samples then have been analyzed by comparing between new and used transmission fluid using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Oil analysis by FTIR is a form of Predictive Maintenance (PdM) to avoid major failure in machine elements. Most machine elements are not easily accessible in the transmission system. Having a reliable technique would avoid the needs to open the components unnecessarily, hence, help to prevent catastrophic failure which are very costly, and ease of regular monitoring. In order to identify the major failures of automatic gearbox, forecasts can be made regarding the lube transmission fluid analysis test. By using this test, the minor problems can be determined before they become major failures. At the end of this research, the wear particles profile for interval mileage of AT system was obtained.

Published: June 2019

In higher education, besides final examination, students’ performance will also be measured throughout 14 weeks of lecture that contains tests, projects, quizzes and assignments as their continuous assessment. In UiTM, the continuous assessment for statistical subject is in range of 40% to 60% that contributes to their performance. This percentage is considered high and students cannot neglect this factor if they want to get good grades. With this belief, the effect of continuous assessment as mediating variable to determine relationship between final examination performance and students’ classroom participation throughout one semester in UiTM Kuala Terengganu among Diploma of Computer Science (CS110) students and Bachelor of Business Computing (CS244) students from Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics who undertook a statistics course will be studied. Positive correlation was reported indicating that there exists positive relationship between classroom attendance and final examination grades. Students then were grouped into two groups according to the ‘80% rule’. Furthermore, Sobel Test indicates that there exists mediating effect of continuous assessment between class attendance and final mark. As a conclusion, participation and understanding the lecture in a statistics class is an important indicator that contributes to their performance.

Published: June 2019

This study was conducted at Felda Jengka 8, Pahang in Malaysia to find out the contents of heavy metals in palm oil soil and fruit farm soil adjacent to estimate the pollution level. Four types of selected heavy metals namely Cu, Zn, Pb and Ni in different soil sampling point were collected in triplicates and analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) after wet digestion. Contamination factor (CF) and geo-accumulation index (Igeo) were used to estimate the degree of contamination heavy metal in soil. Heavy metal concentration range were as follow; 0.910 – 2.000 mg/kg for Cu, 0.460 – 2.060 mg/kg for Zn, 0.080 – 0.220 mg/kg for Pb and 0.020 – 0.100 mg/kg for Ni. Cu and Zn concentration was found to be higher than other metal concentrations. The continuous application of chemical fertilizers possibly related to accumulation of heavy metals in soil. Results showed CF values were between moderate to considerable contaminant especially in palm oil soil. While, for Igeo values were indicated uncontaminated to fairly contaminated for the study sites. This recommends the utilization of chemical fertilizer is still in the monitoring. However, more physicochemical analyses are needed for metal analysis and determination of other heavy metal elements such as Cd, As, Se and Cr for further research.

Authors: Furtado da Cunha Maria Angélica , Silva José Romerito
Published: June 2019

Neste trabalho, temos como foco central o tratamento da mudança linguística sob a ótica da Linguística Funcional. Nosso objetivo é traçar um breve histórico da abordagem desse fenômeno a partir de vieses distintos no âmbito do paradigma funcionalista, procurando identificar avanços e aprimoramentos das pesquisas sobre esse tema. Para tanto, recuperamos, primeiramente, estudos da gramaticalização no quadro da Linguística Funcional clássica, ou de vertente norte-americana. Em seguida, focalizamos a proposta que buscou articular o estudo da gramaticalização ao conceito de construção. Por fim, apresentamos a abordagem construcionista de mudança linguística, especialmente na linha de Traugott e Trousdale (2013) bem como na de Hilpert (2013a, 2013b).

O presente trabalho enquadra-se no arcabouço teórico metodológico da Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso e tem como objetivo observar o comportamento das construções adverbiais qualitativas e modalizadoras do tipo Prep+SN, atentando-nos tanto a aspectos formais como a aspectos semântico-pragmáticos, descrevendo-os e analisando-os. Para tal propósito, analisamos as referidas construções levando em conta fatores como item verbal/tipo verbal, preposição, extensão do sintagma nominal e elementos intervenientes entre a construção qualitativa e o verbo, além de observar os casosde ambiguidade. O corpus utilizado se compõe de cartas de leitores do Rio de Janeiro escritas nos séculos XIX e XX; portanto, um dos objetivos deste trabalho também consiste em verificar as semelhanças e diferenças de comportamento dessas construções nessas duas sincronias, em busca de indícios de construcionalização e/ou de mudanças construcionais (cf. TRAUGOTT & TROUSDALE, 2013).
O hibridismo de ser e a distinção ser/estar em português do séc. XIII
Authors: Ribeiro Maria
Published: June 2019

Este artigo tem como base a dissertação de mestrado que apresentei no âmbito do curso de Ciências da Linguagem da Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, na qual tive como principal objetivo relacionar o hibridismo de ser com a sobreposição parcial dos valores semânticos associados aos verbos ser e estar,atestadaem estádios anteriores da língua portuguesa. Dado que ser é um paradigma híbrido, que advém da fusão dos paradigmas latinos sedere (‘estar sentado’) e esse (‘ser’), explora-se a hipótese de que, no seio do paradigma ser, formas derivadas de sedere seriam perspetivadas como estando mais associadas a propriedades transitórias – partilhando, portanto, características com o verbo estar –, por oposição a formas derivadas de esse (‘ser’), que seriam perspetivadas como estando genericamente mais associadas a propriedades permanentes, devido a alguma persistência dos valores semânticos associados aos verbos latinos de que derivam. Neste artigo, apresento alguns dados obtidos, relativos à ocorrência destes verbos em cantigas do século XIII, que apontam para uma maior proximidade entre formas de sedere e de estar neste período histórico, com o objetivo de suportar a hipótese que é aqui explorada. Aponto, ainda, alguns dos mecanismos ou processos de mudança linguística que podem ser atestados no percurso evolutivo dos verbos ser e estar, ou explicativos deste.
Os pronomes clíticos nos testemunhos da "Crónica do Xarife Mulei Mahamet e del-Rey D. Sebastião" – Um estudo comparativo
Authors: Lombardo Elena
Published: June 2019

Neste artigo apresento os resultados de um estudo comparativo da colocação dos pronomes clíticos presentes nos testemunhos de uma crónica quinhentista sobre D. Sebastião – a Crónica do Xarife MuleiMahamet e del-Rey D. Sebastião – com vista a compreender melhor as vicissitudes da sua transmissão manuscrita. Conhecem-se atualmente três testemunhos deste texto. O Mss. 2422 da Biblioteca Nacional de Espanha e o COD. 13282 da Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, ambos catalogados como sendo do século XVII e similares em termos de organização estrutural, diferem profundamente do CIII/1-14 da Biblioteca Pública de Évora, datado do século XVIII. O testemunho eborense afasta-se deles a tal ponto que se torna possível afirmar que se trata de versões diferentes de um mesmo texto. A pergunta que se coloca, portanto, é se seria a versão reportada pelos testemunhos madrileno e lisboeta (o Sumario) a versão inicial e a Historia (versão do testemunho eborense) uma reescrita e desenvolvimento dela por um cronista/copista posterior, ou se se trataria justamente do contrário – o texto transmitido pelo manuscrito eborense sendo a primeira versão e o Sumario um resumo desta. Para fazer luz sobre esta questão, analisei dois fenómenos relativos à colocação pronominal cuja evolução histórica, de acordo com autores como Martins (1994, 2008 e 2016, entre outros), Magro (2007), Galves, Britto e Paixão de Sousa (2005) e Namiuti (2008), apresenta um ponto de inflexão nos séculos XVI-XVIII – a variação entre ênclise e próclise e a realização de interpolação de constituintes entre o clítico e o verbo. Apesar de não ter fornecido resultados totalmente inquestionáveis a favor de uma ou outra hipótese, as análises demonstraram que alguns trechos da Historia inexistentes nos demais testemunhos apresentam traços linguísticos mais próximos do português quinhentista. Assim sendo, parece provável que a versão reportada neste testemunho não tenha sido redigida no século XVIII.
Relação dos trastes de prata e ornamentos da extinta capela de Santo Antônio (1856)
Authors: Dores Marcus Vinícius Pereira das
Published: June 2019

Apresentar uma fonte documental manuscrita, em um periódico científico, além torná-la conhecida no meio acadêmico, colabora diretamente com a sua preservação e propagação. Nesta publicação, apresentaremos, de forma simples e sucinta o manuscrito Relação dos trastes de prata e ornamentos da extinta Capela de Santo Antônio. Vale destacar que o documento em questão é uma produção contextualizada, portador de acontecimentos da região em que foi produzido e, portanto, passível de ser tomado como objeto de estudos de diversas áreas. É preciso, contudo, estarmos atentos, pois sem a preservação e a divulgação dessa fonte primária, corremos o risco de reduzi-la à condição de registros antigos ou, simplesmente, “coisa velha e sem sentido”. O presente trabalho, mesmo curto e despretensioso, vai, sobretudo, no sentido oposto desse lamentável destino de muitos documentos antigos.
A Portrait of the Mehmandar: Accompanying Hajji Baba, of Ispahan, to England
Authors: Pelea Alina
Published: June 2019

There are few professions and professionals to be constantly perceived as ambivalent. But for interpreting and interpreters, this seems to be the norm, rather than the exception. On the one hand, there has always been a sense of fascination for these extraordinary people who speak so many languages and have such a wide knowledge of the world. On the other, they have inspired reluctance, distrust or even fear. While literary works sometimes reflect one or the other perception, James Justinian Morier’s The Adventures of Hajji Baba, of Ispahan, in England (1828) reflects both and provides us with an insight into the nature and circumstances of the situation. By following the attitude towards the mehmandar throughout the novel, the present paper considers a set of memes that seem to be still valid today. The reasons this is so relate to features inherent in the profession, the privilege of understanding both sides ‘of the coin’, the power tamper with information, the risk of misunderstanding, etc.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the mandibular morphometric measurements of male and female rabbits using three-dimensional digital model and real bone measurements. Ten (5 female, 5 male) rabbits with no bone deformities were used in the study. Three-dimensional models were produced from two-dimensional microcomputed tomography images of the rabbit’s mandible. Biometric data were obtained by using the same measuring points over both three-dimensional models and real bone samples. There was only a significant main effect of gender for the greatest length of the mandible, length from aboral border of the alveolus of third molar teeth to infradentale, length of the diastema, height of the vertical ramus (measured in projection), distance from the incisor to the oral border of mental foramen, distance from aboral border of mental foramen to caudal border of mandible, distance between retroalveolar foramen and caudal border of mandible. For these measurements, calculated data for females are significantly higher than the males (p<0.05). It was found to be statistically significant between methods only for the length of the cheek tooth row and height of the vertical ramus values (p<0.05). In this study, it was understood that 3D morphometric measurements for bone tissue could be used with accuracy and reliability especially in anatomy and orthodontics areas as an alternative to traditional measurements made with a digital caliper.

The ingestion of sharp foreign bodies that cause penetrating wounds to the gut and surrounding structures and its consequences are not often seen in equine medicine. When animals ingest these objects, they tend to have colic episodes and peritonitis, as well as to be prone to abscess formation. The aim of the current case report is to describe liver abscesses and peritonitis, with abdominal adhesions, caused by a penetrating metallic foreign body that was swallowed by a Crioulo mare, which had been showing a history of recurrent colic episodes for 4 months. The animal was subjected to median celiotomy due to suspect enterolithiasis. During the procedure, abdominal adhesions, blood clots in the intestinal loops and enteroliths were observed. These severe changes led to the mare death while she was still recovering from anaesthesia. Necropsy findings revealed abscess formation in the liver, abdominal adhesions, diffuse peritonitis and a penetrating foreign body in the liver. The relevance of the present case study lies on the fact that the assessed mare presented a stable chronic condition, although she had peritonitis and abdominal abscesses. This observation reinforces the importance of assessing all abdominal organs in horses with recurrent colic episodes. The evaluation of abdominal organs through complementary exams and necropsy can help identifying foreign objects inside these animals and it contributes to the challenging diagnosis of colic syndrome.

Published: June 2019

The descriptive geometry constitues the foundation of the engineering sciences, so necessary to the specialists of this field. The aim of this paper is to establish the intersection curve between two cylinders and their unfoldings, by using the programmes:AutoCAD and Mathematica. We used the classical method and we first establish the intersection curve and then the cylinders unfoldings. To do this, we used the AutoCAD program. The same unfoldings can be obtained by introducing directly the curve equations (which are inferred) in Mathematica program.

Direct analogy RLC series AC circuit refers to the connection between complex velocity and complex electrical intensity, mechanical impedance and electrical impedance, etc. Reverse analogy RLC parallel AC circuits refers to the connection between complex velocity and complex electrical voltage, mechanical impedance and electrical admission, etc.
The Three Seas Initiative and its Economic and Geopolitical Effect on the European Union and Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Zbińkowski Grzegorz
Published: June 2019

The objective of this paper is a presentation of results of an analysis of the Three Seas Initiative (TSI), whose participating countries (except Austria) treat it as a method of: a) reducing their dependence on crude oil and natural gas imports from Russia, thus increasing their energy security; b) accelerated filling of the persisting civilisation gap between the initiative participants and more developed EU countries owing to the improved quality and maturity of the transport and digital North‑South infrastructure; and c) the actual implementation of the “vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace.” The analysis has assumed the following research hypothesis: The CEE states’ joining the EU has not markedly changed those states’ development, as material differences do still exist in this respect between the new EU states and the old ones, which was verified positively.
