Abstract:

This book represents the latest effort to summarize a field that has grown exponentially. As stated in the introduction to the book, the contentious nature of forensic neuropsychology has resulted in a range of opinion among even the most seasoned neuropsychologists. Consequently, I must be absolved for offering what may seemingly be a partisan slant in this review.

Abstract:

<span lang="IN">The main objective of this philological research is to determine the original text (autography), the text that is close to the original (archetypal) or authoritative (authoritative) text, the second is transliterating the text with the main task of maintaining the authenticity / special characteristics of word writing and translating the written text in the original language to the second language, the third is to edit the text as well as possible, the fourth is to describe the position and function of the text under study and clean the text from errors that occur during copying. Based on the description of the purpose of the above research can be formulated some problems namely: the first is in each text there is generally more than one manuscript, which is the original or authoritative manuscript, the second is the text written in characters and languages </span><span lang="IN">that are no longer commonly used now that the text is difficult to read and understand the meaning, the third text has not been well presented, no punctuation, paragraph structure and parts of the story so it will be difficult for the reader to understand, the fourth is the position and function of the text is not clear so it is difficult to place this text in the whole of one's thinking or the literature of the region concerned. In this paper will be studied in philological detail on Najmuddin Al-Thufi's text on mashlahah.</span>

Abstract:

Tradition and authority in theologyThe problem of authority in theology is as old as the Bible itself. Authority comes into question especially when a new trend in theology diverges from the approved. One can claim authority for a 'new' theology by reinterpretation of an authoritative tradition; by miracle stories; by association of one's theological point of view with an authoritative person from the past; and by an appeal to the oldest stratum in the authoritative text or tradition. This article concentrates mainly on the Biblical era.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contrast the speech genres in the original and the published versions of an article written by academic researchers and published in the US practitioner-oriented journal, Strategic Finance. The original version, submitted by the researchers, was rewritten by a professional editor in the USA before it was published. Design/methodology/approach – The paper analyses the “persuasive” speech genre of the original version and the “authoritative” speech genre of the published version. Findings – Although it was initially thought that the differences between the two versions were due to differences in the forms communication used by academics and practitioners, as the analysis progressed it became clear that the differences the authors were observing could be traced to more profound differences in philosophical assumptions about the “way of understanding and constructing a world”. Research limitations/implications – The choice of language and argumentation should be given careful attention when the authors craft the accounting frameworks and research papers, and especially when the authors seek to communicate the findings of the research to practitioners. However, the authors have focused on just one instance in which a text written by academics was re-written for publication in a practitioner journal. Originality/value – The paper contrasts the rationalism of the persuasive speech genre and the pragmatism of the authoritative speech genre. It cautions academic researchers against uncritically adopting specific speech genres, whether they are academic or practitioner speech genres, without carefully reflecting on their relevance and implications for understanding the nature of the phenomenon being discussed.

Abstract:

Problems with Gender-biased Islamic law education and authoritarianism in the United States have invited the anxiety of prominent Muslim intellectual, Khaled Abou El Fadl. In his book on the Speaking in God's Name, Khaled revealed a crucial hermeneutic problem related to the relation of text (text), author (reader). Khaled also revealed the problem of abuse of "authority" in Islamic law that surfaced and was unavoidable among individuals and groups. Evidently, there are a number of religious fatwas not speaking "about God", but acting and speaking "in the name of God". The focus of this paper further discusses what are the hermeneutical problems in Islamic law education discussed by Khaled Abou El Fadl, and what is meant by the issue of authority and abuse, the relation of text-author-reader, and authoritarianism and its implications in the study of Islamic law. Then what are the mechanisms and methods for formulating the right Islamic fatwa.

WRITING African History pays homage to Daniel McCall's pioneering text, Africa in Time Perspective: A Discussion of Historical Reconstruction from Unwritten Sources, published at the dawn of the era of modern African history in 1964. Surprisingly, given subsequent developments in the field, there has been no comparable text since, making this volume especially welcome. But it also bears a heavy burden if it is to become the authoritative text for the next generations of students and scholars. Does it meet this difficult test?

Full text

Abstract:

A gap in Organization and Management Theory exists regarding how, as a relational phenomenon, authority routinely makes a difference to the daily functioning of organization. A ‘Communication as Constitutive of Organization’ (CCO; e.g. Cooren et al., 2011) view of text (e.g. Taylor et al., 1996) is identified as holding unrealized potential to address this omission. A nine-month ethnography of a UK cosmetics company, followed by an abductive analysis (Alvesson and Kärreman, 2007, 2011) of fieldwork material focusing on ventriloquism (e.g. Cooren, 2012), aesthetics (e.g. Hancock, 2005) and practice theory (e.g. Schatzki, 2006), provides original insight into how authority routinely acts. The thesis’s main contribution to knowledge is the crafting of ‘dominant text’ which is defined as; a series of orchestrated texts which simultaneously exercise authority by routinizing the daily workings of organization. To elaborate, actors are instructed and taught to make sure a ventriloqual text routinely directs clients’ attention toward a particular course of action. At the same time, interventions are made to ensure aesthetic and practice texts routinely remind actors to represent a collective identity and disciplines how they act. While CCO studies show how texts periodically exercise authority (Fauré et al., 2010; Güney and Creswell, 2012; Holm and Fairhurst, 2017; Jordan et al., 2013; Koschmann, 2012; Spee and Jarzabkowski, 2011), a dominant text enhances knowledge about how authority routinely organizes activities which constitute and characterize organization. Theoretical insights are also generated that extend the CCO project of developing a communicational interpretation of organizing and organization.

Abstract:

Contemporary north-west Bangladesh is the scene of a religious contest between the self-described 'Hanafis‘, who include various expressions of Islamic faith and practice, and Salafi reformist groups known as Ahl-i-Hadith. Occasionally labelled 'Wahhabis‘ due to their affinity with the doctrine from Arabia, the Ahl-i-Hadith actively seek to purify local Islam of all practices which they consider to be bidaʿ. Local Hanafi Muslims, who form a majority, are resistant to these efforts at total religious reform. This thesis investigates the contemporary discourse taking place between these two communities in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, and between these groups and their authoritative Islamic texts. The case study used to focus on inter-group debates is the contested issue of whether or not to perform rituals meant to assist the dead during al-barzakh – the conscious waiting period in the grave believed to last from death until the day of resurrection. Especially during a soul‘s first forty days in al-barzakh, the Hanafi community observes rituals intended to reduce the torment of the grave and send soʾab, or merit, to the account of the deceased. Participant observation at numerous milad, chollisha and khotom ceremonies for the dead, as well as interviews with local ʿulamaʾ and other informants highlight the progress of Ahl-i-Hadith reform efforts, but also the way in which Hanafi leaders defend and interpret their 'unorthodox‘ practices using authoritative Sunni hadith and Qurʾanic passages. Additional Islamic texts which are locally influential are examined. Special voice is given to "what Muslims say" in an attempt to let the words and actions of those involved in the debates direct the research agenda as they interpret and defend their respective positions. This thesis provides other researchers with a field-based account of contemporary Islamic belief and practice in Bangladesh – an understudied Islamic context containing over 150 million people. Dozens of quotations from ʿulamaʾ are reproduced in the original Bengali and in English. Additionally, this study complicates Islamic fundamentalist and Western scholarly conceptions of 'popular Islam‘ and 'syncretism‘ by showing that Hanafi ʿulamaʾ in Rajshahi explain their (contested) beliefs and activities in Islamic terms, using universally recognised Sunni sources of authority, especially the hadith literature.

Reno, Edward Andrew. "The Authoritative Text: Raymond of Penyafort's Editing of the 'Decretals of Gregory IX' (1234)." Thesis, 2011. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8PK0P3Q.

Full text

Abstract:

The Decretals of Gregory IX, promulgated in 1234, was the first collection of canon law for the Catholic Church invested with universal and exclusive authority, and was the culmination of a century and a half process by which the a now papal-led Church came to be the leading institution within medieval European society. The Decretals, also known as the Liber extra - a compilation of 1971 papal letters, constitutions and conciliar canons drawn principally from the century prior to its issuance - has long been understood as a key text for the study of the medieval papacy, the rise of scholasticism within the universities, and the extension of the Church's jurisdiction into almost every area of medieval life. The degree to which the man commissioned to edit the collection, the Dominican Raymond of Penyafort (1175-1275), actively shaped the legal content of the Decretals through eliminating, rewording, or supplementing the individual texts has remained elusive, in part because of the complicated manuscript tradition and in part because of our ignorance of all his sources. This dissertation examines Raymond's editing of the most recent material within the collection, the 195 capitula attributed to the commissioning pope Gregory IX (1227-1241), which in many cases provide definitive statements of the law. This study has determined that Raymond used Gregory IX's papal registers - the official record of papal correspondence and administration - as a source for roughly half of the capitula attributed to this pope in the Decretals. A collation of these capitula with the register originals has been produced, allowing one to see directly how Raymond shaped the material at his disposal into a universal legal framework for the Church. While the collation will serve as the basis for future analyses of the changes Raymond and Gregory introduced into the law, a case study has been conducted for the Gregorian legislation related to the religious orders. The results of this study show the dynamic and contingent nature of papal legislation - how the law at times was crafted in response to specific difficulties faced by legal commentators, but also how certain decisions with a narrow scope were given broad and universal application by Raymond, sometimes with unintended consequences down the road. Such was the case with Gregory's decision to allow women in a southern German province - who had been abandoned by their husbands for having committed adultery - to enter convents set up for former prostitutes (X 3.32.19, Gaudemus in Domino). In Raymond's hands this became a general recommendation that all women convicted of adultery should enter into convents to perform lifetime penance. Aside from legal content, Raymond's editing for the entire collection has been examined from the standpoint of legal rhetoric, and the particular language of law that emerged in the thirteenth century. It is demonstrated how Raymond consistently eliminated references to the counsel given the pope by the cardinals during legal decision making, with the effect of representing the law as a more direct expression of the papal will. Moreover, the ubiquitous invocations of additional sources of authority normally found in papal correspondence to back up pronouncements of the law - whether they be previous legal decisions, scripture, or the holy fathers - were regularly omitted. This suggests an emerging conception of the law, as well as the institutional framework of the papacy, as self-sufficient and self-evident in its authority. As part of examining the papal registers as a source for the Gregorian capitula, a diplomatic study has been produced of the manuscript of the first register volume (Vatican City, ASV, Reg. Vat. 14, covering pontifical years 1-3), which demonstrates how the register functioned as an ongoing and increasingly important administrative record for the Roman Curia. This study contributes to the overall understanding of the place of the written record in medieval administrative practices in the thirteenth century, suggesting that the tools of centralized administration normally associated with the later thirteenth century can be found during Gregory's pontificate. It proposes a new comparative direction for the study of medieval administrative institutions and the tools upon which they were based. This dissertation also contributes to the ongoing efforts to study and classify the almost 700 surviving manuscripts of the Decretals as well as the hundreds of manuscripts of its main sources, the five canon law compilations collectively known as the Quinque compilationes antiquae. By examining Raymond's method of organizing his material, and comparing the early manuscripts of the collection, a working list of important variants has been developed that may be employed going forward to test and categorize manuscripts of the Decretals and the Quinque compilationes antiquae. Although the collection was intended to become the exclusive source for decretal law prior to 1234, with Gregory IX banning the use of all former compilations, a careful study of thirteenth century commentators such as Hostiensis, Sinebaldus Fieschi (Innocent IV) and Bernard of Parma shows that commentators continued to refer back to the earlier sources of the Decretals when doubtful questions about Raymond's editing arose. While an awareness of the historically-embedded nature of the law is normally associated with the Renaissance and Early-Modern periods, this dissertation proposes a reevaluation of medieval canonists as sensitive to the historical and textual-critical dimensions of the legal tradition.

Abstract:

Composed between 1448 and 1449, the Vita del beato Giovanni Colombini by Feo Belcari was printed for the first time in 1477 and was destined to growing publishing success over the following centuries both as an independent text and in miscellany dedicated to the blessed. It will be the third edition of the Accademia della Crusca Vocabolario, published in 1691, to increase its affirmation by admitting the entire poetic and prose work of Belcari among the privileged references for the Tuscan vernacular and the Italian language. A recognition that will lead to a Veronese edition of the work in 1817, edited by authoritative scholars of Italian humanistic literature, which will condition many reprints of the work during the first half of the nineteenth century and which will persist even later, when it will be included in series very different, between religious and linguistic / literary interests.

Abstract:

What if one thinks not in terms of shared meanings or contents, but rather in terms of iterable gestures available for re-enactment in different times and places in order to conceive of a cross-cultural world of literature? This essay sets out to explore, within the discursive mode of the lyric, whether the notion of gesture could be more helpful than meaning-based translation to account for the transferability of literary texts and for envisioning a form of community based on the shareability of certain gestures. To do so, it will look at how the act-event of reading described by Derek Attridge is processed in two cases in which poems are transferred from an earlier authoritative tradition into a new one.

Abstract:

Roman and canon law were fields of knowledge based on the interpretation of authoritative texts. In their study of Roman and canon law, the authors of Bracton would have begun to think about the practice of law as a textual practice. This was not an obvious way to think about law in the thirteenth century. In England’s county and manor courts, much of the law was contained in the collective memory of the suitors of the court, not in authoritative texts. Thus, the fact that Bracton’s authors studied Roman and canon law would have led them to think about law in a different manner from many of their colleagues in the central royal courts.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the initial reception of the zoharic literature, the nascence of the term Sefer hazohar (Book of the Zohar), and the idea that it refers to a unified, sacred, and authoritative literary corpus. The idea of the existence of a book written by R. Shimon bar Yohai and known as the Zohar only crystallized after a significant number of zoharic texts had been written and circulated. That is to say, the Zohar as a book is an imagined text, an idea of a unified literary work, the scope and nature of which were perceived and described in a variety of ways. Its emergence as such, influenced the formation of zoharic collections, which differed significantly from one another, yet came to be collectively referred to by that name. Ultimately, the concept of the Zohar as an ancient and authoritative book was used by its distributors to subvert the dominance of the most prominent kabbalistic school of the period, that headed by Nahmanides and his disciples.

Abstract:

Blood clotting, or thrombosis, is an interesting biological application for computational fluid dynamics. Existing numerical thrombosis models have previously been shown to be effective for low shear rates and simple geometries. For these models to be used in biomedical applications such as the design of rotary blood pumps, however, they must first be experimentally validated for high shear rates and complex geometries. In this study, we test the ability of a numerical thrombosis model to predict thrombosis related phenomena in a high shear flow by creating a geometry similar to that of a rotary blood pump. We have applied an existing numerical thrombosis model to an annular gap between rotating concentric cylinders, a geometry that is closely related to rotary blood pumps. Additionally, we created a physical model of the same geometry and exposed blood to a range of shear rates in both the empirical and numerical model. The empirical and numerical results are compared in order to evaluate the ability of the numerical model to predict thrombosis in similar geometries, such as high shear blood handling pumps. Fluent was used to solve the coupled convective-diffusion equations along with user defined equations that include production and consumption of 7 species critical to thrombosis. These equations, along with equations of fluid motion, were solved iteratively within the Fluent solver. All reaction constants were from previously published work. At each of the shear rates and exposure times tested, the numerical model calculated platelet deposition, platelet-platelet aggregation and the two-dimensional distribution of three primary agonists (ADP, thromboxane and thrombin) in addition to the standard fluid variables (velocity, pressure, shear rate, etc.). A physical model was designed and constructed to control the shear rate that to which blood is exposed. An annular gap of 360μm was chosen in order to induce a shear rate of up to 10,000 s-1 while maintaining laminar flow. In a series of experiments, fresh, heparinized, bovine blood was exposed to a constant shear rate ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 s-1 for 120 seconds. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of the blood was then measured for each stress level. While the observed changes in thromboembolitic potential (as measured by PT and APTT) of the whole blood test samples qualitatively correspond to platelet activation and agonist concentration predicted by the numerical model, further work is needed to quantitatively verify the numerical model. Thrombosis models based on coupled convective-diffusion equations show promise, but need further refinement and validation before they can be trusted to authoritatively predict thromboembolitic potential.
