Criticism on the originality of the Arabic words in the Quran had its inception at the formative period of Islam. The ambigious and mysterious verses in the Quran stimulate Qurasyh to cast their doubt on the etymologycal aspect of Quranic language. To date, the phenomenon continued to persist when part of its content were not recognised by the scholar of Quranic studies. Modern researchers have invented novel approach to explore this issue and their findings confirm the existence of loanword in the Quran. They believed that these foreign words acquired by Muhammad through his communication with various kinds of individuals. Thus, this study aims to explore the orientalist views on the linguistic aspect of the quran, and examine their findings with Muslim scholar’s standpoint using comparative analysis. The present study is qualitative in nature in which the researcher employed textual and comparative analysis on selected words and verses in the Quran. The study in its finding propose that the orientalist views on the issue of loandwords or foreign word of Quranic language is a standpoint that stem from plausibilities and possibilities.

Multimedia sensor networks have emerged due to the tremendous technological advances in multimedia hardware miniaturization and the application potential they present. However, the time sensitive nature of multimedia data makes them very problematic to handle, especially within constrained environments. In this paper, the authors present a novel approach based on continuous 3D real time reconstruction of the monitored area dedicated for video surveillance applications. Real-time 3D reconstruction allows an important network bandwidth reduction in context to sensor nodes sending descriptive information to the fusion server instead heavy video streams. Each node has to support additional processing in order to extract this descriptive information in real-time, which results in video sensors capturing tasks, data analysis, and extraction of features needed for 3D reconstruction. In this paper, the authors focus on the design and implementation of such sensor node and validate their approach through real experimentations conducted on a real video sensor.

The book about Bolesław Leśmian by Żaneta Nalewajk Leśmian międzynarodowy, relacje kontekstowe. Studia komparatystyczne [The International Leśmian, Contextual Relationships. Comparative Analysis] is an interesting attempt to look at the poetry of Bolesław Leśmian from the contextual perspective, which so far has been never attempted by Leśmian scholars. A detailed analysis taking into account homologies and filiations has been carried out. A novel approach has also been introduced, when Leśmian’s between the wars poetry has been shown to have been influences by contemporary authors.

The flaviviruses (family Flaviviridae) are a group of positive-strand RNA viruses, many of which pose serious risks to human health on a global scale. Here, we calibrate the timeline of flavivirus evolution using flavivirus-derived DNA sequences identified in animal genomes. We demonstrate that the family is at least 100 million years old and show that this timing can be integrated with dates inferred from co-phylogenetic analysis and paleontological records to produce a cohesive overview of flavivirus evolution in which the main subgroups originate early in animal evolution and broadly co-diverge with animal phyla. In addition, we show that the arthropod-borne 'classical' flaviviruses first evolved from tick-specific viruses, and only later adapted to become insect-borne. Our findings demonstrate that the biological properties of flaviviruses have been acquired over many millions of years of evolution, implying that broad-scale comparative analysis can reveal fundamental insights into flavivirus biology. We implement a novel approach to computational genomic studies of viruses that can support these efforts by enabling more efficient utilization of evolution-related domain knowledge in virus research.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for reconstructing 3D geometry from a stream of images captured by a consumer-grade mobile RGB-D sensor. In contrast to previous real-time online approaches that process each incoming image in acquisition order, we show that applying a carefully selected order of (possibly a subset of) frames for pose estimation enables the performance of robust 3D reconstruction while automatically filtering out error-prone images. Our algorithm first organizes the input frames into a weighted graph called the similarity graph. A maximum spanning tree is then found in the graph, and its traversal determines the frames and their processing order. The basic algorithm is then extended by locally repairing the original spanning tree and merging disconnected tree components, if they exist, as much as possible, enhancing the result of 3D reconstruction. The capability of our method to generate a less error-prone stream from an input RGB-D stream may also be effectively combined with more sophisticated state-of-the-art techniques, which further increases their effectiveness in 3D reconstruction.
