this paper has studied motahari's point of view  on the divine revelation as a methodological problem. in islamic philosophers' point of view, divine revelation is result of :union: of prophet and active intellect. they consider the divine revelation as knowledge and emphasize its cognitive identity. on the other hand, some scholars reduce the divine revelation to tendencies and empha...

AFRICAN DESCENT WOMEN’S CONCEPTUALIZATION OF ETHNIC/RACIAL AND GENDER IDENTITIES by Wendi S. Williams, MA This qualitative study explored racial/ethnic and gender identities of African descent women. Specifically, 13 African descent women were interviewed about influences on their racial/ethnic and gender identities, the process by such identities developed in order to assess the applicability ...

Semigroups whose congruences form a chain are often termed ∆-semigroups. The commutative ∆-semigroups were determined by Schein and by Tamura. A natural generalization of commutativity is permutativity: a semigroup is permutative if it satisfies a non-identity permutational identity. We completely determine the permutative ∆-semigroups. It turns out that there are only six noncommutative exampl...

An individual s legal identity can be constituted by a multitude of often-complex notions, and is not necessarily of their own construction. Legal discourse has a significant role to play in the construction of an individual s legal identity and can apply to gender identity as much as any other. This construction can occur not just through what is written or said, but also by and through the im...

Research on pre-service music teacher occupational identity often highlights two competing identities: performer and teacher (L‟Roy, 1983; Roberts, 1991; Pellegrino, 2009). Of the many factors that contribute to the occupational identity of the pre-service music teacher (Woodford, 2002), conducting has the potential to integrate performer and teacher identities. Previous research indicates that...

Let S be a ring with identity in which 2 is invertible. In this paper we describe the structure of quaternion R = H(S) generalization Hamilton?s division real quaternions H H(R).

It is a worthwhile challenge to deal with the key-exposure problem in identity-based signatures. To deal with this problem, this paper adopts Dodis, et al.’s key-insulation mechanism to identity-based signature scenarios, and proposes an identity-based key-insulated signature scheme. The proposed scheme enjoys two attractive features: (i) it is strong key-insulated; (ii) it is provably secure w...

Let S and T be sets of positive integers and let a be a fixed positive integer. An a-shifted partition identity has the form p(S, n) = p(T, n − a), for all n ≥ a. Here p(S, n) is the number partitions of n whose parts are elements of S. For all known nontrivial shifted partition identities, the sets S and T are unions of arithmetic progressions modulo M for some M . In 1987, Andrews found two 1...

Let G be a generalized dicyclic group with identity 1. An inverse closed subset S of G∖{1} is called minimal if 〈S〉=G and there exists some s∈S such that 〈S∖{s,s−1}〉≠G. In this paper, we characterize distance-regular Cayley graphs Cay(G,S) under the condition minimal.

If v is a norm on en, let H(v) denote the set of all norm-Hermitians in e nn. Let S be a subset of the set of real diagonal matrices D. Then there exists a norm v such that S = H(v) (or S = H(v) n D) if and only if S contains the identity and S is a subspace of D with a basis consisting of rational vectors. As a corollary, it is shown that, for a diagonable matrix h with distinct eigenvalues .1...
