Traditionens gränser
Authors: Andersson Tobias
Published: January 2024

This article explores the themes of tradition and renewal in Islamic theology through a reading of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī's Fayṣal al-tafriqa bayna l-islām wa-l-zandaqa ("The Decisive Criterion for Distinguishing Islam from Heresy"), a classic work about the boundaries of theological tolerance in Islam. The article begins by discussing descriptive and normative usages of the term "Islamic" and then moves on to reflect on al-Ghazālī's distinction between revelation and interpretation, his "rule of interpretation" (qānūn al-taʾwīl) and his emphasis on the importance of ethical and spiritual virtues for all intellectual activity, including theology, in relation to questions concerning tradition and renewal. It draws on Alasdair MacIntyre's notion of tradition as "an historically extended, socially embodied argument" and argues that attempts at theological renewal must, of course, be rooted in the foundational texts of the overarching Islamic tradition, mainly the Qur'an and the hadith corpus, but also in the historically extended and socially embodied arguments of its subtraditions, such as the Ashʿarī and Māturīdī schools of theology. The purpose of the article is to contribute to the ongoing discussion about theological renewal in the Islamic tradition and to the ongoing discussion about normative studies of Islamic theology at European universities by putting al-Ghazālī in dialogue with MacIntyre.
The Impact of Knowledge on the Interpretation of Ethics
Authors: Bektovic Safet
Published: January 2024

The overall theme of this article is the relationship between knowledge, religion, and ethics in Islam. The first goal is to show how the concept of knowledge has been understood in relation to religion and intellectual life and what the relationship is between universal, philosophical, and religious knowledge. The second goal is to show, using examples from Islamic philosophy of religion, how a certain concept of knowledge affects the interpretation of morals and Islamic ethics. This implies, among other things, a discussion of epistemology, the interpretation of the Qur'an, and the definition of ethical principles. A general assumption is that the definition of a Muslim as a moral agent – which is considered one of the central issues of the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Islam in general – is not given as an unequivocal category, but is subject to constant discussion that takes place at different levels and areas. This is especially evident in modern Islamic philosophical-theological discourse, where Fazlur Rahman, Mohammed Arkoun, Hassan Hanafi, Abdolkarim Soroush, and Amina Wadud are only some of the important actors of the discussion.

Dual adaptive differential threshold method for automated detection of faint and strong echo features in radar observations of winter storms
Authors: Tomkins Laura Mary , Yuter Sandra E. , Miller Matthew A.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Radar observations of winter storms often exhibit locally-enhanced linear features in reflectivity, sometimes labeled as snow bands. We have developed a new, objective method for detecting locally-enhanced echo features in radar data from winter storms. In comparison to convective cells in warm season precipitation, these features are usually less distinct from the background echo and often have more fuzzy or feathered edges. This technique identifies both prominent, strong features and more subtle, faint features. A key difference from previous radar reflectivity feature detection algorithms is the combined use of two adaptive differential thresholds, one that decreases with increasing background values and one that increases with increasing background values. The algorithm detects features within a snow rate field that is rescaled from reflectivity and incorporates an under and over estimate to account for uncertainties in the detection. We demonstrate the technique on several examples from the US National Weather Service operational radar network. The feature detection algorithm is highly customizable and can be tuned for a variety of datasets and applications.
Radiative Examination of Developing African Easterly Waves and Saharan Dust Interactions: Comparative Insights from Reanalysis and NASA Airborne Observations
Authors: Burgess Ruby Winter , Oyola-Merced Mayra Ivelisse
Published: January 2024

Abstract. This study thoroughly examines the impact of aerosols on atmospheric heating rates over the North Atlantic Ocean, with a specific focus on developing African Easterly Waves (AEWs). It utilizes data from the NASA DC-8 aircraft, dropsonde profiles, lidar observations, and satellite-based precipitation data obtained during NASA’s CPEX-CV field campaign, as well as MERRA-2 and CAMS reanalyses. Using a four-stream radiative transfer model, the research focuses specifically on days characterized by Saharan dust coinciding with AEWs and tropical storm development and also contrasts its findings with a notable dust-only event in June 2020. The findings reveal notable differences in shortwave (SW) and longwave/infrared (LW/IR) heating rates, underscoring the persistent challenges in accurately representing aerosol effects in the atmosphere, even after assimilating observational data. These discrepancies persisted on days with both background and high dust concentrations, emphasizing the challenges in accurately representing aerosol radiative effects in models and highlighting the urgent need for improved aerosol representation in reanalysis datasets.
Estimating the Snow Density using Collocated Parsivel and MRR Measurements: A Preliminary Study from ICE-POP 2017/2018
Authors: Chang Wei-Yu , Yang Yung-Chuan , Hung Chen-Yu , Kim Kwonil , Lee Gyuwon
Published: January 2024

Abstract. A new method is developed to derive the hydrometer's bulk density and bulk water fraction from collocated measurements from Micro-Rain Radar (MRR) and Particle Size and Velocity disdrometer (Parsivel). Rigorous particle scattering simulation, namely the T-matrix method, is applied to particle size distribution data of Parsivel to calculate the reflectivity (ZHH). The possible combinations of the particle's ice, air, and water are derived to compare them with the MRR-measured ZHH. The combination of minimum water fraction subsequently determines the bulk density (ρbulk). The proposed method is applied to the data collected from the International Collaborative Experiments for Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (ICE-POP 2018) Projects and its pre-campaign. The estimated was examined by self-evaluation of reflectivity weighted fall velocity (Vz) of MRR and independent comparison of the liquid-equivalent snowfall rate (SR) of collocated Pluvio. The bias values are adequately low (Vz: -0.27~0.14 m s-1, SR: 0.52~0.74 mm hr-1). The correlation coefficient of calculated SR from estimated ρbulk and observed SR from Pluvio can be up to 0.74. The results indicate the capability to derive reliable ρbulk through the proposed method, leveraging the compact and easily deployable designs of MRR and Parsivel. The derived bulk density of the two warm-low cases (28 February and 07 March 2018) shares a similar transition as the systems were decaying. The particles with higher bulk density and bulk water fraction were found in the coastal sites (BKC and GWU: mean ρbulk values are 0.12 to 0.25 g cm-3), typically accompanied by higher liquid-water constituents (mean values of the top 5 % bulk water fraction are 0.33 to 0.50) than the inland sites (YPO and MHS: mean ρbulk values are 0.09 to 0.08 and mean values of the top 5 % bulk water fraction are 0.001 to 0.029) during such synoptic conditions.
Theorizing power and agency in state-initiated municipal climate change adaptation: integrating reflexive capacity into adaptive capacity
Authors: Fila Dennis , Fünfgeld Hartmut , Lorenz Stefanie
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Based on a review of existing research on adaptive capacity, we identify a research gap in theorizing institutions, power structures, and agency in municipal climate change adaptation processes. Drawing on sociological institutionalism, governmentality, and communicative planning theory, we use post-structuralist concepts of power to to elucidate the collective (de-)mobilization of existing stocks of capacities within municipal institutions of adaptation with a focus on structural power and agency in participation processes. The concept of reflexive capacity is introduced as the ability of organizations such as municipal administrations to incorporate diverse stakeholders and knowledge into decision-making processes in a local context, which is derived from the relationship of power with with power over. The emergence and transformation of reflexive capacity are illustrated and discussed with one case study municipality in Germany, revealing the potential of this concept for the analysis of participation in adaptation processes and the power structures that are inherent to them. In the paper, we incorporate the concept of reflexive capacity with established concepts of adaptive capacity, creating an integrated framework termed institutional adaptive capacity. The analysis concludes that examining power structures and agency in the context of climate change adaptation explains how capacity stocks and individual psychosocial capacity mobilization are institutionally embedded and influenced by reflexive capacity. We argue that the consideration of power structures and agency can provide a complementary approach to explaining adaptive capacity and call for further transdisciplinary empirical research on this topic in different settings of state-initiated adaptation processes.

Abstract. Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) has emerged as a reliable method for soil moisture and snow estimation. However, the applicability of this method beyond research has been limited due to, among others, the use of relatively large and expensive sensors. This paper presents the tests conducted on a new scintillator-based sensor especially designed to jointly measure neutron counts, muons and total gamma rays. The neutron signal is first compared against two conventional gas-tube-based CRNS sensors at two locations. The estimated soil moisture is further assessed at four agricultural sites, based on gravimetric soil moisture collected within the sensor footprint. Muon fluxes are compared to the incoming neutron variability measured at a neutron monitoring station and total gammas counts are compared to the signal detected by a gamma ray spectrometer. The results show that the neutron dynamic detected by the new scintillator-based CRNS sensor is well in agreement with conventional CRNS sensors. The derived soil moisture also agreed well with the gravimetric soil moisture measurements. The muons and the total gamma rays simultaneously detected by the sensor show promising features to account for the incoming variability and for discriminating irrigation and precipitation events, respectively. Further experiments and analyses should be conducted, however, to better understand the accuracy and the added value of these additional data for soil moisture estimation. Overall, the new scintillator design shows to be a valid and compact alternative to conventional CRNS sensors for non-invasive soil moisture monitoring and to open the path to a wide range of applications.
Absolutely Continuous Invariant Measures for Piecewise Expanding Chaotic Transformations in R^n with Summable Oscillations of Derivative
Authors: Beitalmal Abdusslam Osman
Published: January 2024

This paper presents a detailed investigation of absolutely continuous invariant measures (ACIMs) for piecewise expanding chaotic transformations in , with particular attention paid to the case where the derivative has summable oscillations. ACIMs are important objects in the study of dynamical systems, as they provide a way to understand the long-term behavior of trajectories and the statistical properties of the system. The paper covers a range of important topics related to ACIMs, including the boundedness condition, distortion condition, localization condition, and Schmitt's condition. It also discusses the Perron-Frobenius operator, which plays a critical role in the existence and properties of ACIMs. The main result of the paper is the proof that the Perron-Frobenius operator is constrictive, which implies the existence of a finite number of ergodic ACIMs that satisfy Schmitt's condition and a condition dependent on the defining partition. This finding has significant implications for the understanding of complex systems and the advancement of research in this field. The paper also discusses the relationship between ACIMs and dynamical systems, highlighting the role of ACIMs in ergodic theory. Overall, this paper provides a valuable reference for researchers interested in the study of ACIMs and their significance in the analysis of dynamical systems and ergodic theory.

The present paper seeks to examine spatial and temporal variability of changes in both warm and cold extreme temperatures. Additionally, it aims to determine the most extreme geographical areas in extreme temperatures based on climate data recorded during the period from 1961 to 2020. This paper analysed the annual data of extreme temperatures for 16 meteorological stations during 1961- 2020 across Libya over two climatic regions (coastal and inland) based on Mann–Kendall test. Time trend of the extreme of both maximum and minimum temperature will be analyses and the results from geographical analysis are will also be presented based on ArcMap. The results indicated that a significant increase in the coldest extreme (TNn) temperature are found in autumn and spring and winter at majority of stations. Temperature variability can be associated with variations in large-scale atmospheric patterns represented by Eastern Atlantic and the Western Mediterranean Oscillations.

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Aqueous Extract of Ziziphus Spina-Christi Seeds: Characterization and Stability
Authors: Faraj Mansour , Faraj Abudelrhman , Erhayem Mohamed
Published: January 2024

In this study, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were prepared using an aqueous extract of Ziziphus Spina-Christi Seeds (ZSCS) powder as an eco-friendly material, reducing agent and capping ligand. The synthesized Ag-NP was characterized using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). From The UV-Vis spectra, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption band at 443 nm confirmed the formation of Ag-NPs. The TEM results demonstrated that the synthesized Ag-NPs have mostly spherical shapes with a particle size of 21.54 nm. In addition, the particle size and the specific surface area (SSA) of Ag-NPs decreased with increasing ZSCS powder extract volume and AgNO3 concentration. The basic medium was found to be better than the acidic medium to prepare Ag-NPs. At a pH value equal to 9.5, within 30 minutes, the color of the solution was changed from colorless to brownish-orange. SPR absorption band of Ag-NPs demonstrated that the synthesized Ag-NPs have high stability over a period of 8 months.  From FTIR results, the stretching of C-O group at 1223 and 1031 cm-1 disappeared after bioreduction of AgNO3, these results may be due to that Ag reduction was carried out by some hydroxyl groups that get oxidized at the expense of Ag+ because Ag+ is reduced to Ag-NPs.
The combined effect of biochar and organic fertilizer (goat manure) on the growth and yield of peanut crop (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Authors: Rassem Abdouslam , Elzobair Khalid
Published: January 2024

Sandy soils suffer from many problems with physical and chemical properties as well as low productivity of cultivated crops. Biochar and organic fertilizer have been used in agriculture to improve soil fertility, enhance crop productivity, and sequester carbon in the soil. A study was conducted to investigate the effect of biochar (B) from woody materials and gout manure (GM) on the growth and yield of peanut crops (Arachis hypogaea L.) in sandy soil. The experiment was in a randomized complete block design RCBD with three replicates. The treatments were controlled, 10 t ha-1 GM, 2 % B + 10 t ha-1 GM, and 5 % B + 10 t ha-1 GM. The result showed that the addition of 2 % B + 10 t ha-1 GM increased peanut yield by 50 % while the addition of 5 % B + GM 10 t ha-1 increased peanut yield by 82 %. Without biochar, goat manure had yield increases by 25 % compared to a control. Overall, our findings demonstrate that biochar-goat manure combinations have a better performance than GM alone, in terms of yield and plant growth. For future research, we tend to determine the optimal combination of biochar and goat manure for peanut production.
Activation functions of photodegraded carboxymethyl cellulose in solution: Viscosity measurements
Authors: Elashhab Fathi , Sheha Lobna , Sheltami Rasha , Alfazani Tahani , Youssef Abdelsallam
Published: January 2024

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is used in several applications exposed to light and radiation, such as food and medical products. The exposure to photons could affect the CMC properties and behaviour therefore the products. Our main objective is to investigate the relative viscosity/temperature relationships of CMC fragments in a NaCl solution. The method of photodegradation technology has been used, and the data were attained viscometrically. The decrease in macromolecular mass and concentration brought down the reduction in solution viscosity, while the temperature had the opposite effect. Eyring's parameters as functions of concentration and molar mass were then illustrated. The enthalpy and Arrhenius factor have increased with increasing concentration and molar mass, while the entropy has decreased. The polyelectrolytic CMC fractions in salt solutions behaved like polymers in neutral solutions. The photodegraded solution of CMC had better solvation quality than the native one.
A Numerical Study for Uncertainty in two Predators-One Prey Model
Authors: Abuziyan Fatima , Omar Almbrok , Ahmed Iman , Kilani Mabrokah
Published: January 2024

In this article, a mathematical model had been presented, which delved into the dynamics of a system featuring two predators and one prey, characterized by a growth rate of the predator dependent on a specific ratio. When facing uncertain initial conditions in the model, it had become imperative to adapt the mathematical descriptions by treating these initial conditions as random variables governed by specific distribution functions. The beta distribution had been employed to represent the stochastic initial state of the two predators-one prey model, allowing for an examination of how the random initial state of the prey had impacted the dynamic behavior of the system. Given the lack of an analytical solution for the model, computer simulations had been resorted to in order to delve into the dynamics of the system. Consequently, various properties of the resulting numerical solution had been thoroughly discussed, shedding light on the intricacies of the system's behavior. In addition, the research had offered invaluable insights into understanding the impact of uncertainty on predator-prey interactions and the subsequent stability and behavior of the ecological system in uncertain conditions, further bolstered by the numerical results obtained.
Simulation of Time Independent Schrödinger Equation for Finite Potential Well Using the Graphical Solution Method
Authors: Saad Dalal , Ikraiam Fawzi
Published: January 2024

This paper investigates applying the approximate method; Graphical Solution Method (GSM), to theoretically solve the Time Independent Schrödinger Equation (TISE) in one dimension for a finite square well using MATLAB. With just few lines of MATLAB coding, calculating and plotting accurate eigenvalues (energy), eigenvectors (wave functions) and the bound eigenstates are possible for the finite square well of a negative potential (depth of the well) of -400 eV and a well width of 0.1 nm for an electron confined to this quantum well. These eigenvalues, eigenvectors and eigenstates are obtained and discussed. The found energy eigenvalues and states are discrete and yield physical acceptable solutions. The even and odd solutions of the TISE are also considered. The graphical solutions for the finite potential well are shown. The locations of discrete eigenvalues for even and odd solutions are also presented. These eigenvalues are tested confirming the correct eigenfunctions. The precision of these solutions depend on well width L and on the interval dx used to integrate the equation. Exact analytical solutions for this case are obtained and compared with results from the GSM. The accuracy and the convergence of the numerical results are easily checked. The results showed that the GSM can be considered as a suitable mean for determining the one dimensional solutions for the finite square well.

Authors: Alaud Salhin , Muhieddin S. Tughar  , Rwini Sufian
Published: January 2024

This paper investigates the effects of adding recycled rubber to concrete in terms of its physical and mechanical properties. The study involved three mixes of concrete created by replacing the gravel with recycled rubber particles with varying percentages of rubber by volume, 10%, 15%, and 20%, and a control mix without rubber. A 1.5% superplasticizer (SP) was also added to other mixtures with rubber in the same proportions as before. The study was conducted on concrete cubes with dimensions of 100 mm. The physical properties of this sample were observed and compared with a control sample of regular concrete. A series of tests were carried out to measure the density, and compressive strength, of the sample. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) of the sample was also tested to evaluate its porosity. The results showed that the addition of recycled rubber to the concrete reduced the density and therefore its compressive strength by more than 26% with an increase in the rubber replacement ratio of 20%, while when using SP the resistance decreased by less than 20% for the same replacement ratio. The pulse velocity of the samples decreased with increasing rubber content.The results demonstrated that recycled rubber can be a viable additive for concrete in some applications, providing water resistance and impact load with minimal reductions in weight. This could lead to more environmentally friendly building materials with improved performance.

Oil production operations are commonly divided into three periods: "Primary, Secondary and Enhanced Oil Recovery EOR”. Primary recovery is considered as the initial production stage, resulting from the displacement of natural derive mechanisms that exist in a reservoir. Secondly, the secondary recovery period which is the water flooding, or gas injection. The final stage period is EOR period, which involves the injection of external material into a reservoir. Where the injected slug interacts with the reservoir rock or oil system to create favorable conditions in order to enhance the oil recovery.

The produced water can be used as the water flooding during the secondary recovery, but the high salinity of the formations yields a low recovery factor. Thus, some materials have been used to reduce the water salinity during the production in order to reinject it into the reservoir and cause a high recovery factor.  The challenge to obtain an economic material which is able to reduce the salinity in the oil fields is still at stake. Thus, many materials need to be applied in order to test its ability to reduce the water salinity. The activated carbon extracted from waste date kernel have not used yet in this area. In the present paper, the activated carbon was prepared at lab by following specific procedures. Where, a different size of activated carbon extracted from date kernel used to treat the saline water, which later will be used for a spontaneous imbibition test for sandstone core samples after saturated with crude oil. A spontaneous imbibition test consisting of three scenarios of activated carbon at various temperatures and later compared with untreated reservoir water. In this study, the spontaneous imbibition test was performed at room temperature and oven temperature including (45, 55, and 70 ℃). The results showed that activated carbon is a useful material to reduce the water salinity.  Where, the best oil recovery was at a treated water with activated carbon volume (0.125), which was (70.41%), that was at the maximum used temperature.
Simulation Of Acidic Water Purification Process In Refinery Based On Determining Appropriate Operating Conditions
Authors: Bey Mufida
Published: January 2024

Acidic process water produced by refineries contains some hazardous pollutants such as (H2S and NH3). Acid water extraction units remove both compounds from the water. The removed contaminants are sent to a sulphur recovery unit to produce sulphur and avoid any acid emissions contrary to environmental regulations. Water pollution is a problem that concerns all people in the world. In view of the importance of preserving the environment and water resources, in this research, the simulation of the acid water treatment unit in the refinery was studied using the Aspen Hysys software based on determining the appropriate operating conditions. The NRTL electrolyte activity coefficient model was used to predict the system's thermodynamic behaviour. The simulation results showed that the suitable temperature for the feed entering the tower is about 38°C and the convenient distance for the trays in the disposal tower is 0.54 mm. Under these conditions, the concentration of hydrogen sulphide 0.1694 and 0.2418 of ammonia in the acid gas exiting the tower reaches its maximum at a molar flow rate of the mixture of about 39.86 kgmol/h, according to the economic considerations of the operating tower.

In addition, it will  investigate the effect of negative effect of ponds rain water.  After rainwater falling to the ground and being exposed to natural or industrial activities. This work examined  this water Chemical, Physical and Biological properties. Field experiment was conducted in Misurata region in central Libya. The ponds rain water physicochemical parameters such as, acidic number (PH), Total dissolved salts (TDS), Electrical conductivity (E.C),  Sulphates (So4-2), Nitrates (No3), Ca, Mn  and Fe also determined.  Fungal colonies were isolated and counted.  The results reveal that sampling sites were affected by different activities waste.  Total soluble salts of ponds rain water and control ranged from 24.6 to 524 ppm and the pH ranged from 7.1 to 8.4. and showed appreciable differences within localities. Electrical conductivity  presented 39.0 to 819 ppm. Whereas the Sulphates, Nitrates showed 0 to 30 ppm,0 to 30.5 ppm respectively.  The all tested metals increased from all locations. Isolated microbial flora consists of 4 fungal genera belonging to, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rizopus and Fusarium. Most of them  may consider the resistance fungi to industrial waste water due to its large colonies numbers isolated from unclean rainwater ponds water  and contaminated metals area. In conclusion the human activities  had a significant effect on all the parameters examined even microbial flora.

Historia de Mabrūka. Un siglo de incertidumbres sobre la esclavitud en Tetuán, Marruecos
Authors: Mateo Dieste Josep Lluís , Medina Lina , Daoud Hasna
Published: January 2024

En este trabajo analizamos las incertidumbres del período final de la esclavitud en Marruecos a través de la historia de vida de Mabrūka, comprada en Tetuán en 1927 y fallecida en 1996. Reconstruimos su recorrido vital a partir de los documentos custodiados por los descendientes de la familia Medina que la compró y de una encuesta oral entre los miembros de aquélla, con el fin de mostrar los cambios experimentados en la vida de Mabrūka y su propia agencia social, como aportación a los nuevos enfoques sobre la esclavitud. Las principales conclusiones son que el proceso de manumisión de esclavos quedó en un limbo al no existir una abolición formal de la esclavitud y los silencios sobre la vida de Mabrūka confirman estas incertidumbres. Por otro lado, Mabrūka mantuvo un vínculo sentimental con la familia Medina, aún después de iniciar su vida como mujer libre, y poco antes de morir dejó en herencia sus propiedades a la familia compradora, ya que estaba convencida de que persistía entre ellos un vínculo de walā’. Este gesto provocó un cortocircuito legal cuando el Consejo de Ulemas de Tetuán evidenció la nebulosa jurídica sobre la esclavitud y declaró inexistente a efectos legales el vínculo entre la liberta y la familia compradora.

The article is devoted to analysis of digitalization of business process as an area of activity of local governments. The authors prove that digital transformation in modern conditions has the following number of features and advantages: (1) process optimization. New technologies allow enterprises and management systems to automate simpler processes and eliminate intermediate stages in more complex processes. This increases the “flexibility” of enterprises that can now make much more efficient use of their resources; (2) search for new revenue streams. With the advent of new technologies, new ways of making a profit are being discovered that were previously unavailable; (3) creation of a personalized and attractive service infrastructure. Modern customers expect businesses to listen to their opinions and meet their specific needs. Modern technologies are developed so much that they can solve all these problems.
