Published: November 2024

The Qur'an is a precious book and also something historic for all followers of Islam. Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world and it turns out that in Indonesia there are many historical mushafs left over from the Kingdom, Islamic boarding schools or mosques in Indonesia.In Indonesia, there are many Islamic educational institutions that teach the Qur'an. However, the students of Qur'anic science do not have wide access to the study of ancient mushaf, they do not know how to apply their knowledge to the corpus of mushaf. In addition, ancient relics are very valuable assets in order to reveal the history of the past. Because Indonesia is one of the nations that has a diverse civilization. The heritage of its religious population is scattered in various regions in Indonesia.  The problem that arises here is that most of the Indonesian population still does not know the types of Al-Qur'an and how its history. Each Al-Qur'an in Indonesia has its own specialty such as the decoration (illumination) displayed in each region. This Muslim guidance object also contains interesting philosophies. Therefore, the Al-Qur'an needs to be museumized with the aim of being cared for, maintained and exhibiting the beauty of the Al-Qur'an to the entire community.  Because the Qur'an is exhibited, it must have something to do with Islam.  Therefore, Mushaf Al-Qur'an with Iluminasi Bunga Matahari is one of the ancient Al-Qur'an in the Al-Qur'an History Museum of North Sumatra

Authors: Panimalar S. Arockia , A. Krishnakumar Dr , S. Senthil Kumar Dr
Published: November 2024

In the telecommunication industry, forecasting customer turnover in telecom networks is crucial for maintaining customers and increasing profits. The proposed model explores the importance of predicting churn, emphasizing its financial impact and strategic significance for telecommunications companies. Manual methods for predicting churn are restricted due to their dependence on basic models and human opinion, leading to less than ideal precision and effectiveness. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based methods have arisen as promising solutions in light of these limitations. Nevertheless, existing AI methods frequently encounter issues like over-fitting, restricted interpretability, and suboptimal generalization. The presented system introduces a novel technique, named "MBP-WMLP” abbreviated as Multipath Back Propagation with Weighted MLP, to improve prediction accuracy in telecommunication networks. The respective approach utilizes a specialized multi-layer perceptron (MLP) structure with weights, designed for managing the intricacies of telecommunications data. Moreover, an improved multipath back-propagation method is presented to improve the optimization of model training and convergence.  The projected model combines weighted MLP and enhanced multipath back-propagation to achieve better prediction accuracy, increased interpretability, and improved generalization capabilities. Furthermore, the proposed technique will be applied to authentic Telco customer churn datasets containing sanitized customer activity features and churn labels indicating subscription cancellations for creating predictive models. The projected approach is intended to shows potential for improving customer loyalty tactics and boosting profits for telecom companies in a more competitive market environment.
Relative Strength, Rate of Force Development, and Body Mass Ratios Correlate to Dynamic Sports Performance in Youth Athletes
Authors:   Exsurgo Technologies, 20202 Incas Ter, Ashburn, VA 20147, USA, Lutton Greg , Giles Garret
Published: November 2024

Recreational youth athletes (n = 50) ages (14.58 years ± 3.1) were assessed to evaluate relationships between isometric strength, isometric rate of force development, total body mass and dynamic sports performance assessments. Athletes performed isometric mid-thigh pull, counter-movement jump, drop jump, 20 meter sprint with a 10m split gate as well as the 5-10-5 agility shuttle. Relative Strength Ratios (RSR), Relative Rate of Force Development ratios (RRFD) and isometric rate of force to Max Force Ratios (RFM) were developed and compared to each of the dynamic performance assessments. K-means clustering analysis to create 3 groups for RSR RRFD and RFM were found to correlate to dynamic sports assessments. RSR was found to show moderate correlations, both positive and negative, with dynamic sports assessments. The results show moderate to strong correlations, both positive and negative, with dynamic sports assessments in all but 2 assessments for RRFD. RFM results had very weak, nonsignificant results. Results of ANOVA of each of the ratios to performance outcome measures were found to be significant with small effect sizes. The primary finding of this investigation suggests youth athletes with RSRhigh (2.0+) and RRFDhigh (1.5+) with RFMlow (0.79) performed better than all other youth athletes. Utilizing RSR alone, youth athletes with RSRhigh (2.0+) performed better than all other athletes. The secondary finding of this investigation suggests that thresholds do exist for RSR, RRFD and RFM when compared to dynamic sports assessments which could be used for intake assessments and age-appropriate program design for youth athletes. Assessing youth athletes via relative strength ratios considering isometric force production and total body mass with respect to lean body mass and percent body fat may provide additional insight into training programming and body composition modifications to increase dynamic sports performance.

This research aimed to ascertain the secondary and tertiary protein structure variations in the CD14 gene of the West African Dwarf sheep (Ovis aries) from Cross River and Akwa Ibom States, Nigeria. The research used forty samples (20 from each state) of West African Dwarf sheep (WAD) from farms and markets in the two States. One ml of blood was collected from each sheep through jugular venipuncture for DNA extraction. The region of CD14 of African Dwarf sheep was amplified by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique using specific sets of forward and reverse primers. The percentage of alpha helix in the secondary protein structure of WAD from AKS was higher than that detected in CRS. For the extended strand, the highest percentage was recorded from AKS17 (15.85%), while the lowest was from CRS14 (14.44%). Random coils had the highest percentage in the secondary protein structure and were generally similar among the selected WAD. The folding of the tertiary protein structure was generally similar among the WAD showing a close relationship in the activities of CD14 among the sheep. There was a close relationship among the WAD from Akwa Ibom and Cross River States based on CD14 gene variation.

Published: November 2024

Research has indicated that Chinese EFL learners demonstrated challenges in generic competence related to writing. The process-genre approach has been found to contribute positively to improving this competence, according to several studies. However, most of the relevant research and teaching practice were in traditional classroom setting, which can no longer conform to the characteristics of the digital era and China’s national educational policy. The current study attempts to integrate process genre approach into a SPOC based blended learning environment at a university in China and investigate its impacts on Chinese EFL learners’ generic competence in writing. A qualitative research method was employed in this study and the qualitative research instruments of semi-structured interviews and e-portfolios were adopted in the investigation. The findings revealed that participants perceived that they had improved their generic writing competence. They not only had a better understanding of the communicative purposes and main features of different genres, but also cultivated a strong sense of genre before writing essays. In addition, they were able to incorporate their awareness of organization, content, and language features in their processes of writing. Therefore, the combination of process genre approach and SPOC blended learning is highly recommended to EFL writing instructors.

Authors: Gupta Shashi Kant
Published: November 2024

The process of estimating and preparing for an association's future supply and management of human resources is known as human resource planning (HRP). It is a significant section of directorial development. This study suggested a novel technique to HRP demand forecasting using the Modified K-nearest neighbor (M-KNN) algorithm. M-KNN is machine learning (ML) algorithms that locate the k major comparable data sample to a new information sample and uses those data sample to forecast the value of the new sample. We generate an HR order estimate pointer organization consisting of variables that pressure HR order such as market share, sales volume, and economic conditions. We use M-KNN to find the k most similar data samples to each data point in the display organization and use those data samples to predict HR command. We assessed our M-KNN algorithm using data from a actual association and find that it can correctly forecast HR command with an fault speed of less than 5%. M-KNN is a talented advance to HRP command forecasting as it is easy to use, does not necessitate a lot of data, and can exactly predict HR command in the attendance of non-linearity and haziness.
Threshold Condition of Energy Splitting for Some Classes of Symmetric Double Well Potential
Authors: Abdurrouf Abdurrouf , Saroja Gancang , Nurhuda Muhammad
Published: November 2024

The double-well potential (DWP) is a prevalent mathematical model for systems with 2 force centers, widely applied in quantum physics. Often expressed as a function with multiple parameters, the DWP can exhibit either single-well or double-well behavior depending on these parameters. Within the tunneling regime, optical properties are primarily characterized by the energy difference resulting from energy splitting (ES). Thus, formulating boundary conditions for the DWP and quantifying ES are critical but understudied areas. This research explores the threshold conditions for the existence of DWPs and ES in 2 common classes of symmetric DWPs: The extensively studied Razavy potentials and the more recently introduced Dong potentials. Utilizing quasi-exact solutions for Razavy potentials and the filter method for Dong potentials, we analyze the dependence of ES on DWP parameters. Our findings align well with existing numerical data, eigenfunction analysis and energy difference approaches. This innovative methodology allows for the examination of threshold conditions for higher ES, and provides an opportunity to control ES in DWPs by adjusting structural parameters.
HIGHLIGHTS

For symmetric-hyperbolicus double well potentials there are some threshold condition,.i.e.: (i) threshold for existence DWP, (ii) threshold for existence DWP with first-level energy splitting rE12 characterized by ε2 = Vmax, and (iii) Threshold for existence DWP with higher-level energy splitting rEij characterized by εj = Vmax.
The method has been applied in the Razavy and Dong class potentials. The eigen-energies are determined through quasi-exact solutions for Razavy potentials and numerically using the filter method for Dong potentials.
We find the the critical condition as a function od structural parameters. Our findings are in good agreement with the eigenfunction and energy difference approaches.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
London's Strand: From Pedestrianisation to Humanisation

Published: November 2024

When busy urban areas are pedestrianised, the relationship these places have with those using them changes. Most obvious is the topographical increase in the availability of space for those traversing it on foot or bicycle. Nevertheless, there are more subtle changes as well. Regular users of pedestrianised spaces begin to forge routes, habits and responses, shaping the way the (newly) available space is used in practice. In this paper, we describe a project at King's College London which sought to explore this in the context of the newly pedestrianised area of the Strand, one of Central London’s main thoroughfares, which abuts KCL’s campus estate. We used methods drawn from deep mapping combined with quantitative and qualitative observations of research participants' walking experiences. Through GPS traces of their walking routes and qualitative interviews, we focused on understanding the benefits of pedestrianisation, the impact of new street furniture on pedestrian habits, and the transformation of the space into an area for both dwelling and traversing. Such spaces give rise to conceptual and intangible "labyrinths" constructed and mediated through people's individual experiences and through digital locative media. This study demonstrates the potential of the deep mapping paradigm in enhancing our understanding of the pedestrian walking experience in newly pedestrianised areas such as the Strand. We show how deep mapping can support spatial analysis and contribute to developing a comprehensive research and design strategy for urban areas by integrating geospatial technologies and participatory research methods.

Woe-Speeches within the Context of an Oracular Inquiry
Authors: Floyd Michael H.
Published: November 2024

Michael H. Floyd explores how the woe-speeches in Habakkuk 2:6-20 are related in form and content to the message revealed to the prophet in Hab 2:1-5, defending his reading through spirited debate with other scholars who have similarly proposed a fresh take on various exegetical puzzles of Chapter 2.

After assessing the preceding material in Habakkuk 2 as the necessary prelude to analyzing the woe-speeches themselves, Floyd explores the form and function of the woe-speeches themselves, in light of how they fit into the unfolding composition of the oracular report that makes up Habakkuk 2. He further brings together and systematizes previous observations about the rhetoric of reproof, arguing that the woe-speeches themselves represent a different type of reproof speech, one that also draws upon wisdom traditions but uses them in a way that is more accusatory and self-incriminating than persuasive and correctional. He proposes that, although the outcry of the nations in Habakkuk 2 is obviously a fictional representation of the international situation, it nevertheless expresses a realpolitik critique of ancient Near Eastern imperialism. Floyd concludes that as an integral part of Habakkuk’s oracular inquiry, the woe-speeches provide a basis for a critique of the idolatrous ideology of imperialism and a model of how to live hopefully despite being under an imperialistic thumb.

de Boer sets out to interpret the Gospel in the historical context in which it was written and first read, and to explain it both historically and theologically. Taking his primary bearings from the seminal work of Raymond E. Brown and J.L. Martyn, de Boer applies and advances their approach through each section of his commentary, whilst also engaging with the latest scholarship, alternative viewpoints, and critiques of the Brown/Martyn approach.

As such de Boer takes very seriously the view that John’s Gospel was written for a particular community, and that the composition of the text as we know it took place over an extended period of time. Examination of the historical realities of this community is a hallmark of this commentary including the notion that, as members of the community, women may have played a role in the Gospel’s composition.
Occidentalism and the Egyptian Novel
Authors: Casini Lorenzo
Published: November 2024

This book examines Occidentalism, or the set of cultural, literary and political uses of ‘the West’, in the works of canonical 20th and 21st century Egyptian novelists. Beginning with the writings of Muhammad Husayn Haykal, Lorenzo Casini here traces the way that imaginaries and representations of the West became bound up with the notions of modernity and national identity with which Egyptian novelists grappled, from the works of Tawfiq al-Hakim to those of Taha Husayn. The book also explores the trope of the European woman as an embodiment of the free, modern, seductive West as an essential facet of Occidentalism in this formative period.

The second part of the book examines the ways in which later novelists —from Latifa al-Zayyat and Yusuf Idris, to Radwa Ashur and Ahdaf Soueif— subverted dominant Occidentalist themes as a way of re-examining concepts of personal, political, and national identity. The author argues that these later novelists reacted to the changing political circumstances in Egypt, from Nasser’s rule and the slide to authoritarianism to the 2011 Revolution, to envisage different kinds of Egyptian political community with a more complicated and less binary relationship with the imagined West.
Between Ideology and Politics
Authors: Alsabeh Taghreed
Published: November 2024

This study presents a comparative, case-study approach to analyzing the foreign policies of ruling Islamist parties in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia.The book investigates whether democratically elected ruling Islamist parties apply their ideology to foreign policy and how their foreign policy approaches differ to that of non-Islamist parties.

Taghreed Alsabeh provides in-depth analysis of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) in Egypt, the Justice and Development Party (PJD) in Morocco, and the Ennahda Party in Tunisia, over a period of twelve years, and compares their foreign policy approaches and outcomes to those of their own internal non-Islamist counterparts. What emerges is a detailed picture of each country’s foreign policy trajectories through successive governments – both Islamist and non-Islamist rule – and clear sites of commonality as well as divergence. Alsabeh demonstrates that ultimately Islamist parties’ foreign policies have been ideologically constrained to a large degree by national contexts such as limited time in power, limited control of the government, and their relationships with other domestic political actors.
Early Nizari Ismailis and their Neighbouring Powers
Authors: Sárközy Miklós
Published: November 2024

I.B. Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili Studies.

This new history of the Alamut era of the Nizari Ismaili community concentrates on the local politics of the remote mountainous Caspian region. This is where the prominent religious and military leader, Hasan-i Sabbah (1050s-1124) famously founded the medieval Nizari Isma’ili state in 1090 before it collapsed at the hands of the Mongols in 1256.

Miklós Sárközy presents here a fresh investigation of this period through a detailed examination of the regional Caspian histories across the turbulent 11th and early 13th centuries. His analysis provides an important contribution to our understanding of the development of the early Nizari Ismailis and their Imams in Iran. The book considers the effects of neighbouring regional powers on the formation and adaptions of the Nizari state whilst it was continuously subjected to the assaults of the Saljuq Turks. The result is a new perspective on how the Nizari Ismailis were able to survive and flourish through difficult times and establish themselves as a vital polity of the Muslim world.

The Nizaris— also known as “Assassins” in western literature—have attracted considerable interest among both scholars and the general public. This book is a much-needed analysis of a neglected area of their vital history.
Decolonizing Maasai History
Authors: Dapash Meitamei Olol , Poole Mary
Published: November 2024

In this open access book, Maasai leader and activist Meitamei Dapash teams with historian Mary Poole to offer a new version of Maasai history based on Maasai memory and concerns.Through their rich and detailed narrative, we learn not only about the history of the Maasai as they understand it, but also about the relations between politics and Western history; about the untold history of Kenya both pre- and post-nationhood; about why the creation of nation-states is not synonymous with liberation; and about how and why Indigenous approaches to land obstruct global processes of resource extraction. All of this finds wider resonances that upend received narratives of post-“independence” Africa and offer new opportunities for the emancipation of Indigenous communities from neo-colonial regimes the world over.Theebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Serialization, Commercialization and the Children’s Classics
Authors: Webster Amy
Published: November 2024

An exploration of the serialization of children's classics by contemporary publishers, this book digs into the impact of the practice and provides new ways of reading the corpus of British children's literature from the 20th century.Amy Webster demonstrates how publishers select texts for their series, which texts they omit, which outliers are sometimes included and how a core group of works from the golden age of children's literature emerged. The text also examines how texts are abridged and transformed from publisher to publisher through close readings ofThe Wind in the WillowsandAlice’s Adventures in Wonderland; and how the repackaging of works within a series highlight issues and choices tied to key paratextual elements. Analysing data through distant reading and close reading of series from Ladybird, Longman, Puffin and Walker Illustrated editions, this book sheds light on how modern classics series are marked by variation and instability but also a reductive homogeneity.

Through her use of quantitative and text-focused research, Webster reveals how commercial motivations have created a gulf between the canonical concepts of the classic and how the term functions as a marketing tool in British children’s publishing. With notions of what counts as a classic compromised and complicated, this book leads the call for a critical approach towards both the term ‘classic’ and to reading children’s classics that acknowledges how they are tied to the commercial enterprises of the children’s book business.
Schooling Reimagined
Authors: Hargreaves David H
Published: November 2024

If the society that lies ahead is to be a better and more ethical one, schools play a key role in its realisation.Since the 1944 Education Act implemented at the end of World War II in Europe, schooling became dominated by the idea of a meritocracy for its function in promoting social mobility. In this book, David Hargreaves explores ways in which schooling might bereimaginedto strengthen the moral and ethical base of schooling, to cultivate in students the excellences of intellect and character that underlie deep happiness.

Hargreaves emphasise the importance of happiness, excellence and civic friendship to reframe the aims of schooling, drawing on works from Emile Durkheim and Aristotle, and the lesser known studies of Carol Gilligan and Sybil Schwarzenbach. He explores how the rapidly changing nature of work is an important ethical ally by providing new time and space for building community cohesion and the growth of protest and social movements offers new opportunities by which young people can play active roles in the creation of an ethical society. Bringing together various areas of study usually kept apart, this book is novel in its exploration of schooling as a powerful source of change if we are to create a more ethical society that lies ahead.
