    Some thinkers take a superficial look at the original sources of the Islamic religion and causes much criticism toward the Islamic view on women's rights. According to them, there are verses and narratives that show the wrong and inhumane treatment of Islam toward women. One of the issues of criticism was toward some verses of the Holy Qur’an, such as verse 34 of Surah an-Nisāʼ, which authorized the punishment of a woman by a man. Collecting the materials in this article is library-based and their processing is descriptive and analytical. In this article, by referring to the existing verses and hadiths, we found that according to the rational and narrative reasons, the permission to beat women without relying on the above verse and relying on the reasons for the necessity of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil can be proved. Of course, beating is the last level of fulfilling the rule of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, which includes giving the permission to a man for beating a woman. And if the reasons of the permission to beat violates enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, considering the explicitness of the verse of Nushūz in the permission to beat woman by man, it can be considered as one of the exceptions and outside the scope of the ruling that says it is necessary to obtain permission of the religious ruler

    Propagation and invitation to the Qur'an and its teachings in both general and specialized levels, according to the level of the audience, has been considered by Imam Ali (AS) which has been promoted in various ways. But what is the methods and ways of propagation and promotion in Imam Ali's verbal and practical life? And in what format and structure do each of these components express these methods? This research was conducted by inductive-inferential-analytical method. Therefore, data collection and narrations related to education and propagation (both verbal and practical) of each of the findings were included under the headings that were the result of a study of the researcher's mind, and were analyzed separately. The methods of promoting the Qur'an that are found in the words and deeds of Imam Ali (AS) can be named under 7 components. Promoting the culture of Qur’anic discourse in Alawīte words (using verses in interactions), using psychological and semantic therapy skills in promoting the Qur’an, reciting the Qur’an, getting acquainted with the Qur’an, encouraging the writing of the Qur’an, promoting the Qur’anic culture in the social dimension, and promoting and propagating the system of Qur’anic culture development

    Resilience Assessment: A Performance‐Based Importance Measure

    Get PDF
    The resilience of a system can be considered as a function of its reliability and recoverability. Hence, for effective resilience management, the reliability and recoverability of all components which build up the system need to be identified. After that, their importance should be identified using an appropriate model for future resource allocation. The critical infrastructures are under dynamic stress due to operational conditions. Such stress can significantly affect the recoverability and reliability of a system‘s components, the system configuration, and consequently, the importance of components. Hence, their effect on the developed importance measure needs to be identified and then quantified appropriately. The dynamic operational condition can be modeled using the risk factors. However, in most of the available importance measures, the effect of risk factors has not been addressed properly. In this paper, a reliability importance measure has been used to determine the critical components considering the effect of risk factors. The application of the model has been shown through a case study

    Background: Healing bone involves osteoconductive and osteoinductive components as well as a scaffold with adequate porosity to allow good cell infiltration.Materials and Methods: Herein, cytocompatibility and osteogenic induction potential of polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibrous electrospun scaffold with different electron microscopy, MTT assay, DAPI and alizarin porosities (35%-90%) and chemical bonding was assessed through scanning red S staining, calcium content and alkaline phosphatase assay. Moreover, the relative expression of three important osteogenic-related genes Col I, RUNX 2 and osteocalcin was studied.Results: Covalent bonding played a more significant osteogenic role in scaffolds in scaffolds with lower porosity, namely H35cov. Although low porosity limits cell infiltration, substrate with lower porosities were easier to handle. On the other hand, substrates with higher porosity showed higher levels of cell proliferation, mineralization as well as osteogenic differentiation.Conclusion: Results indicated that PCL scaffold with higher porosity degree up to 90%, covalently functionalized by collagen, and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles was a good candidate for bone tissue engineering applications

    Industrial Equipment’s Throughput Capacity Analysis

    Throughput capacity (TC) is defined as the total amount of material processed or produced by the system in the given time. In practice, full capacity performance for industrial equipment is impossible because the failures are affected and cause a reduction. Therefore, failure interruptions, especially critical ones (bottlenecks), must be detected and considered in production management. From the point of production view, the bottleneck has the lowest production or performance. Most of the previous works used the availability and related importance measures as performance indicators and prioritization of subsystems. However, these measures cannot consider system production in their prioritization. This paper presents a bottleneck detection framework based on system performance and production capacity integration. The integrated approach is used to assess the loading and hauling subsystems of Golgohar Iron Mine, Iran. As a result of the analysis, the hauling subsystem identifies the system’s bottleneck

    In this paper experimental study was carried out to investigate supercavitation around parabolic cavitators. Various types of cavitators, such as disk, cone, and parabolic, were designed and manufactured. Also, the shape of the cavities formed behind these bodies were considered and compared. Dimensionless parameters such as dimensionless length and the diameter of the cavity as well as the dimensionless required air flow on the cavitators were obtained. The results showed that parabolic cavitators have an optimum design in comparison with the disk and cone cavitators due to their insignificant capability to reduce the drag force, yet the cavity’s length has a moderate size. It was also observed that this type of cavitator is capable of forming a cavity with a dimensionless length up to L/d= 33 and a dimensionless width up to D/d= 3.6. Moreover, parabolic cavitators require the highest amount of air injected in comparison with the cone and disk types; therefore, they operate in lower cavitation numbers. Since no other experimental data has been reported so far, this work reports the experimental characteristic behavior of parabolic cavitators
