APPRAISAL OF HUMAN ACTS DISCOURSE AMONG ASHĀ‘IRAH SCHOLARS
Authors: Amat Misra Mustafa Kamal Bin , Senin Nurhanisah Binte , Mohd Akib Mohd Manawi Bin , Mahmood Abdull Rahman , Awang Jaffary 
Published: September 2019

Purpose: This paper attempts to illuminate the different opinions of Ashā‘irah scholars namely, Al-Bāqillānī, Al-Juwaynī and Al-Ghazālī on the subject of human acts. The discourse of human acts emerges from the argument of God’s attributes qudrah and irādah. It was first discussed by Jabariyyah and Qadariyyah which was then eventually elevated by the Mu’tazilah in understanding human acts.
Methodology: This study is a qualitative study in nature that employs document analysis method. The comparative analysis will be done in order to examine similarities and differences found in the discussion of the Ashā‘irah scholars.
Main Findings: As a whole, the four scholars anticipated in different arguments. It can be summed that Al-Ash‘arī and Al-Ghazālī hold that human acts are still considered as acts of God considering all actions are created by Him. Meanwhile, Al-Bāqillānī and Al-Juwaynī maintained human acts to be free from God’s acts.
Applications: The discussion of this study serves as an important mean in comprehending the discourse of the Ashā‘irah tradition on the concept of human acts.
Novelty/Originality: This paper examines the arguments and proofs based on the Ashā‘irah scholars which will look into their respective writings on the discourse of human act.
THE DIVINE EXISTENCE: ONTOLOGICAL DISCOURSE OF AL-GHAZALI (D. 1111) AND MAIMONIDES (D. 1204)
Authors: Senin Nurhanisah , Amat Misra Mustafa Kamal , Mohd Akib Mohd Manawi , Khambali Hambali Khadijah Mohd , Wan Ramli Wan Adli 
Published: September 2019

Purpose: This paper aims to elucidate al-Ghazali and Maimonides ontological arguments in proving God’s existence by analysing their theological writings. In the golden age of Islamic civilization, fellow Jewish and Christian were seen to be engaged in theological discourse with Muslim scholars. In adjacent, al-Ghazali and Maimonides were seen playing vital roles in affirming the existence of God in their respective religions.
Methodology: This paper is qualitative in nature and employs content analysis. Both al-Ghazali and Maimonides’ arguments are then analysed comparatively. Comparative theology is done to examine theological discourse as part of inter-religious dialogue.
Main Findings: This study finds that their arguments differ in interpreting the necessary existent which Maimonides’ dual categorization of necessary existence distinguishes their arguments from there onwards. This entails the dual argument by which Maimonides affirmed God is the agent and cause of every occurrence. Meanwhile, al-Ghazālī only affirmed God is the agent through His will and concept of particularization.
Applications: This paper is vital in discussing the concept of God through inter-theological dialogue.
Novelty/Originality: Notwithstanding the significant number of texts on divine existence, the researcher found no study that specifically deals with al-Ghazālī and Maimonides’ discourses on the existence of God. Needless to say, comparisons of the concept of God in Islam and Judaism are very limited in contrast to Islam and Christianity.

Published: September 2019

As várzeas são áreas importantes no contexto da paisagem amazônica. A sua ocupação remete à história dos primeiros grupos humanos na região. O processo de ocupação urbana, na sua história mais Márcia Aparecida da Silva Pimentel recente, tem modificado a dinâmica dessa unidade especialmente no seu sistema hidrológico, que passa a se readequar aos padrões de urbanização. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir as propostas para o ordenamento urbano em áreas de várzea no município de Belém (PA), a partir da percepção das comunidades sobre o processo de reconstrução da paisagem. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados referiram-se inicialmente à revisão de literatura sobre os conceitos e materiais técnicos utilizados. Posteriormente, foram aplicados questionários, com questões abertas e fechadas, para os moradores que residem nessas áreas. Os resultados forneceram informações para compilação de material cartográfico e enfatizaram a percepção das questões sociais e ambientais apresentadas pelas comunidades. Para discussão dos dados foi utilizada a análise hierárquica desenvolvida no software Expert Choice. Como conclusão, considera-se que os instrumentos técnicos relevantes para demonstrar a relação entre as respostas obtidas e levou à constatação de que, geralmente, os planejadores urbanos ainda persistem em propor projetos sociais que desconsideram a diversidade cultural dos moradores. Ressalta-se que percepção da paisagem expressa todo um significado social que só é sentido por aqueles que a vivem e tem sua história como herança de vida. Assim, as ações de gestão e planejamento devem ser incorporadas nesta lógica, devendo-se questionar até que ponto a manutenção de determinadas condições não amplia a vulnerabilidade socioambiental de uma comunidade.

WstępKostki szwów (kości wstawne lub śródszwowe), zwane kośćmi Worma, często występują w obrębie szwów lub ciemiączek czaszki, w obrębie <i>desmocranium</i>.Materiał i metodyBadania przeprowadzono w Instytucie Nauk Medycznych w Patnie w Indiach. Zbadano 30 wysuszonych ludzkich dorosłych czaszek w celu stwierdzenia występowania lub braku kostek szwów. Określono ich liczbę oraz lokalizację w obrębie szwów i ciemiączek. Pomiarów czaszek dokonano w płaszczyźnie frankfurckiej (tj. płaszczyźnie poziomej przechodzącej przez dolny brzeg oczodołu i górny brzeg otworu słuchowego).WynikiNajczęstszą lokalizacją kości szwów był szew węgłowy (<i>sutura lambdoidea</i>) – w 61,2% badanych czaszek, oraz szew wieńcowy (sutura coronalis) – w 10,6% badanych czaszek. Dominujący był typ długogłowy (długoczaszkowy – <i>dolichocephalic</i>, <i>dolichocranium</i>), występujący w 46,6% badanych czaszek. Średnia liczba kości szwów była największa w typie dolichocefalicznym – 5,43 ± 5,1.WnioskiObecne badania dotyczące kości szwów są niewielkie w porównaniu z badaniami we wcześniejszych publikacjach. Ze względu na dużą gęstość zaludnienia wschodnich stanów Indii prezentowane wyniki zasługują na uwagę.

Authors: Piotr Dubicki , Piotr Kulyk 
Published: September 2019

The concept of sustainable development is adopted at various levels of territorial organisation, including the city level as the basis for all the activities. Modern cities should provide efficient public services in order to eliminate the lack of comfort resulting from an excessive urban sprawl, which is why the importance of ecological conditions in socio-economic development is increasingly indicated. The purpose of this article is to present selected concepts and indicate the conditions for the implementation of the cityâ€™s sustainable development assumptions. The econometric modelling was used in the research process.

Comparative efficiency of wood sources utilisation in selected European countries
Authors: Babuka Robert , Sujova Andrea 
Published: September 2019

Wood belongs among the renewable, ecological resources used in many variants of primary and secondary production. The efficiency and effectiveness of using wood resources is, therefore, one of the important factors of sustainable economic development of the society. Each country should strive to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of raw materials. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the different levels of timber use in international comparison based on the available information of timber resources, production, consumption, import and export in the primary processing in natural and value expressions of wood resources. The results indicate the efficiency of the use of wood resources both for the volume of the total woodworking production and the production value of the woodworking industry in the selected countries.
Keywords: Wood sources, efficiency, added value, comparative analysis.
The use of LCA to assess the global ecological competitiveness of selected economies in the area of production of goods
Authors: Kazmierczak-Piwko Leszek , Dybikowska Adrianna , Ganczewski Grzegorz 
Published: September 2019

The article addresses the issues of green ecological competitiveness in the global system and its selected aspects. The authors propose using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to assess the global ecological competitiveness of selected economies in their production areas, in terms of the environmental impact of their production processes, determined by the energy mix used in a particular national economy. To compare the environmental impacts of the production of a unified product in selected economies, i.e., France, India, USA and Japan, the ISO standard LCA using the ReCIPe Endpoint v1.13 and IPCC 2013 Global Warming Potential 100 methods and Sima Pro 8.5 software were used. The LCA for a 0.5 l plastic bottle was made. Data on the use of electricity for all stages of plastic processing in the bottle were made for energy mixes from France, India, Japan and USA and compared using Ecoinvent 3 database.
Keywords: Global ecological competitiveness, green competitiveness, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), green economy, ecological competitiveness analysis.
Kiviuq and the Bee Woman by N. McDermott
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: September 2019

McDermott, Noel. Kiviuq and the Bee Woman. Iqauit, NU, Inhabit Media, 2019.
When we last heard of Kiviuq, he had just survived a harrowing encounter with scary monster mermaids or tuutalik (Deakin Review by Kirk MacLeod). In Kiviuq and the Bee Woman, the grandfather who narrated Kiviuq and the Mermaid continues the bedtime story to his grandchildren. Kiviuq begins paddling home, but comes upon a tent where an old woman invites him to rest and dry his clothing. She turns out to be a giant Bee Woman who wants to cut up Kiviuq and put him in her cooking pot.
For a bedtime story, both the text and the illustrations are quite scary. Illustrator Toma Feizo Gas lets us see into the dark, dramatic and frightening world of the Bee Woman, who is a determined killer. “She shouted, ‘I am Iguttarjuaq, the Bee Woman, and I am going to kill you with my ulu’.” The accompanying image shows a woman with pointy teeth and insect mouth pincers, who is shaking a sharp ulu (knife) at Kiviuq.
As is the case with many of Inhabit Media’s publications, the reading level is higher than one would expect to find in a picture book. For younger children, this book will need some adult intervention. In addition to the scary content, human skulls talk, the woman eats her own eyelids and “Kiviuq, realized the woman was boiling human meat.” Some of the language is difficult. For example, Kiviuq “fainted” of fright, but “feinted” to get away. McDermott also intersperses many Inuktitut words, which will slow down younger readers. These are defined at the end of the book.
Overall, this excellent product from Inhabit Media should be included in public library collections and school library collections, but should probably be placed in collections designed for older children.
Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Sandy Campbell

The Origin of Day and Night by P.I. Rumbolt
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: September 2019

Rumbolt, Paula Ikuutaq. The Origin of Day and Night. Iqaluit, NV, Inhabit Media, 2018.
This book is another in Inhabit Media’s collection of works that document traditional Inuit stories. Origin stories, which explain why things are the way they are, are common in Inuit storytelling. This one tells us how night and day came to be. In the time when animals and words had special powers, the Tiri, the Arctic fox, and Ukaliq, the Arctic hare, both want to hunt. The fox can see in the dark, so he uses his words to keep the world dark. The hare needs light to see, so she uses her words to bring light. They change night to day and day to night, frustrating each other, until they agree to give each other “enough time to find a meal or two” before changing the light. As a result, we have night and day.
Lenny Lishchenko’s illustrations are simple, but support the story effectively. They are mainly in blacks, blues and whites, appropriate to night and day. The animals are outlined in black on white or white on black, with a few details added. There are a few reds and yellows, for the animals’ eyes, the sun, meat and berries.
This rendition of the story will capture the interest of the young children, who are the intended audience. Highly recommended for public and elementary school libraries, as well as collections that specialize in polar children’s literature.

The Day War Came by N. Davies
Authors: Aitken Leslie 
Published: September 2019

Davies, Nicola. The Day War Came. Illustrated by Rebecca Cobb. Somerville, Massachusetts, Candlewick Press, in association with Help Refugees, 2018.
A young school girl begins her day happily by breakfasting with her family, walking to school with her mother, and commencing the normal, pleasant learning activities of her classroom. In an instant, her world changes; she is orphaned and alone in a devastated landscape. War has come; she articulates its reality:
“War took everything.
War took everyone.
I was ragged, bloody, all alone.”
Simple, forceful, poetic lines such as these carry forward this story of a child refugee. Though it could be read and understood by primary school children, it would resonate with readers young and old alike.
Nicola Davies indicates that her book was inspired by the Guardian newspaper website which featured an account of a refugee child who was refused school entry because there was no chair for her to sit on. In Davies’ own words:
“…hundreds and hundreds of people posted images of empty chairs, with the hashtag #3000 chairs, as symbols of solidarity with children who had lost everything and had no place to go.”
Davies’ interpretation of this reality for young readers is engrossing and moving. Her storyline is perfectly interpreted by the watercolour and graphite pencil illustrations of Rebecca Cobb. Using an expressionistic style, Cobb captures the feelings of confusion and disbelief, abandonment and isolation felt by the displaced child. She also brings a sense of hope to the story’s conclusion.
The teamwork of Davies and Cobb is brilliant. Together, they have created a moving and memorable piece of children’s literature.
Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Leslie AitkenLeslie Aitken’s long career in librarianship included selection of children’s literature for school, public, special and academic libraries. She is a former Curriculum Librarian of the University of Alberta.
