Identifying Humans Based On Biometric Iris Recognition Using An Interactive Transfer Learning Framework, Marwan Abu-Zanona

Information Sciences Letters

Deep learning recently unveiled the most well-known methods for picture recognition. The most common method used for identification is human verification based on biometric samples. The prohibitive cost of creating, training, and using such models for the expansion of computer vision applications is the key barrier in such fields. To solve this issue, transfer learning provides flexible solutions to model the appropriate Convolutional Neural network (CNN) quickly and efficiently. In such a framework a previously trained CNN on a large dataset with a high number of classes is adapted to the at-hand taxonomizing problem. Iris is one of the most …

أخلاقيات العمل الاقتصادي في الاقتصاد الإسلامي, م.د. فردوس هاشم عبد ياسين المشهداني

Midad AL-Adab Refereed Quarterly Journal

إن من المبادئ الأساسية التي يقررها الاقتصادي الإسلامي ارتباط العمل بالقيم الأخلاقية، فجاء الإسلام بقيم أخلاقية تضبط كل سلوك من منتج أو تاجر أو مستهلك، فضلاً عن الضوابط الأخلاقية التي تحكم صور الاستثمار والمعاملات بين الناس بعضهم بعضاً، أو بين المؤسسات الاقتصادية والجمهور.

أما أهمية الموضوع فيكمن في تحديد أخلاقيات العمل الاقتصادي في الاقتصاد الإسلامي ثم الدعوة إلى تفعيلها في سوق العمل، وأيضاً حاجة العمل الاقتصادي في بلادنا العربية والإسلامية إلى هذه الأخلاقيات لمواجهة التجاوزات وصور المعاملات المحرمة شرعاً.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Cataloguing and Classification is being taught both at the undergraduate and postgraduate (Master’s) level in the university system in Nigeria and other part of the world. The course is called Organisation of Knowledge in some library schools. It is a three-unit course at the undergraduate level.

Sunan Kalijaga: The Birth Of A Self-Actualized Pilgrimage Culture, F. P. Meachem

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

Javanese Islam is incredibly unique in its style and practice. Despite boasting a Muslim population larger than the entire Middle East, Indonesia and its Islamic cultural practices are largely unknown in academic circles. This has made an introduction to Islam in the archipelago even more difficult for the rare interested Western reader. Frustratingly, what is lost on the rest of the world is basically second nature to 155 million Javanese Muslims, who learn from their families, schools, and pilgrimages about the Wali Songo, a group of nine semi-mythical figures credited with spreading Islam to Java. When we stop casting …

“Dancing With [Philly’S] Ghosts”: Recycled Materials And Meanings At An Artists’ Residency, Gabriel D. Straus , '23

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

What’s at stake in people’s relationships with objects? I examine this question based on two months of in-depth participant observation and twelve semi-structured interviews with artists from RAIR, an artist residency at a Philadelphia dump, where artists make work out of the discarded material fabric of a gentrifying, deindustrializing city (read: demolished buildings/dead peoples’ stuff). Building on the work of Karen Barad, a physicist-turned-philosopher who outlines an “onto epistemology” based on quantum mechanics, I explore how objects and people “intra-act” at RAIR to refigure time, reshape the city, and redefine the human. I demonstrate how a Baradian agential realist reading …

“Knowledge Belongs To All, But You Don’T Understand That Because You’Re Nothing But A White”: The Mystical Philosophy Of Embrace Of The Serpent, Rebecca Makas

Journal of Religion & Film

This article explores the implicit theory of mysticism in Ciro Guerra’s 2015 film Embrace of the Serpent (Sp. El abrazo de la serpiente). While many theories of mysticism argue that true mystical experience is unmediated and, therefore, universal, Guerra makes a more provocative statement in the film. He depicts two Westerners’ attempts to have an entheogenic mystical experience in journeys on the Amazon, guided by an indigenous shaman named Karamakate. While the first experience is unsuccessful, the second produces an astonishing mystical vision. The film’s apex transcends culture and suggests the power of the mystical to heal the trauma …

Farms Through The Years, Part 3: A Conversation With Daniel Peterson And Daniel Oswald

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

When did you first become involved with FARMS? Peterson: In the late 1970s and early 80s, Stephen Ricks and I and, a little bit later, Bill Hamblin and I began to talk about the need for an organization like FARMS. We didn't realize that Jack Welch was already launching the Foundation. My actual involvement with FARMS began on a very low level while I was a doctoral student in California, and then accelerated rapidly when I became a member of the BYU faculty in the fall of 1985.
