This thesis deals with the phonology of Maḥbashi Yemeni Arabic (MYA).It is the first descriptive analysis of the phonology of MYA. It provides a normative analysis data for the syllable based processes of MYA demonstrating that the dialect under investigation have similar but not identical phonological environments of the syllable based processes: syncope, epenthesis and vowel shortening. The analysis is presented in terms of Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky ,1993). As for the methodology and data collection, the researcher made use of data collected from a set of people who are native speakers of Mahbashi Arabic. The researcher recorded their conversations taking place in official, social, cultural, religious and domestic contexts. The recorded data covered different types of words:monosyllabic, disyllabic, tri-syllabic and quadri-syllabic. The findings confirm that MYA shares some the syllable structures with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and it differs in other syllable structures. By closely examining a wide range of data, the study proved that MYA exhibits ten syllable structures; CV, CVC, CVV, CVVC, CCV, CCVV, CCVCC, CCVC, CVCC and CCVVC. As far as syllable structure of consonant cluster is concerned, the faithfulness constraints MAX-IO>DEP prevails over the markedness constraints *σ[CC, *CC]σ . The syllable related processes:syncope, epenthesis and vowel shortening were examined through the interaction of different constraints. As far syncope is concerned, the study proves that the constraint i,u]σ is active in MYA and is ranked high in the constraint hierarchy.The study accounted for epenthesis and asserted that the constraints * σ [CCC is active in MYA. The study has shown that vowel epenthesis is governed by the relative ranking of the CONTIGUITY family constraints; D-CONTIG and J-CONTIG where D-CONTIG dominates J-CONTIG in MYA. With regard to vowel shortening, the study revealed that the constraints *3 μ and MAX IO (μ) were in conflict. therefore, opacity constraint and lexical phonology and morphology (LPM) were able to account for vowel shortening when the long vowel of the verb is suffixed by either a subject or an object morpheme. This thesis concludes that OT provides the means to effectively account for the syllable structure and its processes in MYA. The study shows that the superiority of OT was evidenced in solving and providing the reasons for the occurrence of these processes rather than merely stating the rules in a rule-based theory fashion. This has been proved and indicated in the universality of the constraints and is reflected in the dialect specific ranking of the constraints.

خاتمة الكتاب

القرآن الكريم هو الكتاب الرئيسي في الإسلام، الذي يُقدِّسه ويؤمن به المسلمون أنّه كلام الله المنزّل على نبيه محمد صلي الله عليه وسلم -للبيان والإعجاز،المنقول عنه بالتواتر حيث يؤمن المسلمون أنه محفوظ في الصدور والسطور من كل مس أو تحريف، وهو المتعبد بتلاوته، وهو آخر الكتب السماوية بعد صحف إبراهيم والزبور والتوراة والإنجيل.كما يعدّ القرآن أرقى الكتب العربية قيمة لغوية ودينية، لما يجمعه بين البلاغة والبيان والفصاحة.وللقرآن أثر فصل في توحيد وتطوير اللغة العربیة وآدابها وعلومها الصرفية والنحوية، ووضع وتوحيد وتثبيت اللّبنات الأساس لقواعد اللغة العربية۔

قال الله تعالی:" إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ  فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَه (سورة القیامة : ۱۸)

كان الإعجاز القرآني خليقا أن يثير في الحياة الإسلامية مباحث على جانب عظيم من الأهمية يتصدى بها العلماء للكشف على وجوه البلاغة القرآنية.

 وبذل العلماء جهودا مشكورة، وقاموا بمحاولات مضنية، لإبراز البلاغة القرآنية في صورة موحية ذات ظلال، ولكنهم وقفوا غالبا عند النص الواحد، فاقتطعوه اقتطاعا من الوحدة القرآنية الكبرى ، ودرسوه دراسة تحليلية جزئية ذهب بمعالم جمالها الذي لا يتناهى حول مشكلة اللفظ والمعنى، فكانت النزعة الكلامية تفسد عليهم تذوقهم للنصوص، وإدراكهم مواطن البلاغة والإعجاز.

قال الجاحظ في كتابه الحيوان: "ولي كتاب جمعت فيه آيات من القرآن الكريم لتعرف بها ما بين الإيجاز والحذف، وبين الزوائد والفضول والاستعارات، فإذا قرأتها رأيت فضلها في الإيجاز، والجمع للمعاني الكثيرة بالألفاظ القليلة.

اختلف العلماء -رحمهم الله تعالى- في لفظ القرآن لكنهم اتفقوا على أنه اسم فذهب جماعة من العلماء منهم الشافعي، الأشعري، ابن كثير ، الفراء، اللحياني ، الزجاج و ابن الأثير وغیر ذلک من العلماء اللغویین الذین ذهبوا إلى أنه اسم جامد غير مهموز كما ذكر الأشعري: إنه مشتق من قرنت الشيء بالشيء إذا ضممته إلیه ومنه قولهم: قرن بين البعيرين إذا جمع بينهما ومنه سمي الجمع بين الحج...

An Adaptive Classification and Recommendation Model for E-Health

FACULTY OF TELECOMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING Department of Software Engineering Doctor of Philosophy An Adaptive Classification and Recommendation Model for e-Health Systems By Anam Mustaqeem 13F-UET/PhD-SE-06 E-health based system is an advanced topic of research, showing an enormous amount of effort for providing an efficient response to cardiac diseases. Health monitoring of patients in particular senior citizens at their home based location is categorized among the wide ranged applications of today’s health care systems. Health professional track the clinical condition of elderly patients at remote locations using monitoring devices, which otherwise would have to admit to a medical caring unit. The purpose of e-health is to highlight the issues regarding health care and therefore, reduce the chances of hospitalization, help in improving quality of life style, and saving money. With the advent of e-health, the information about most critical issues of patients can be accessed from far away locations. A promising and active research area, which has benefited from the e-health based system is cardiac monitoring and care. In this research work, we intend to develop an adaptable and intelligent recommendation based model for e-health systems. As cardiac diseases are one of most critical and life threatening disease among chronic diseases, therefore cardiac disease classification and iv recommendation is addressed in this study. The research work has been categorized into three different areas. The results have been evaluated using standard evaluation metrics and an improved accuracy is obtained in all research tasks. A model is proposed using a standard dataset for arrhythmia classification to provide improved classification accuracy. The approach for classification combines feature selection, pre-processing and classification techniques, and provides promising diagnosis results. Further, normalization is done for scaling and standardizing the data parameters. An improved feature selection method using a wrapper method around the random forest (RF) is employed to select the most significant features achieving higher classification accuracies for the UCI arrhythmia dataset. The selected features help in achieving better accuracy and efficient classification performance. In the second part of the thesis, the details are presented for collection, analysis and processing of a customized dataset to implement recommender system for cardiac patients under the supervision of medical experts. Although recommender systems have emerged in various domains, development of a clinically apporoved medical recommender systems still require a long way to go, as medical recommendations directly affect the life of patients. We have proposed a hybrid machine learning based prediction and risk analysis based recommendation model for detection of heart disease which provides suitable medical advice to a patient depending on the type of disease identified. The results show that the proposed medical recommender system will be a significant contribution in the field of cardiac disease classification and recommendation. A medical recommender system is implemented using a modular clustered based collaborative filtering model, which is an improvisation in the traditional collaborative filtering technique to target the issues of sparsity and scalability. Sub-clustering at two levels is introduced to ensure fast and robust similarity computations. The involvement of cardiac experts in the whole process is made possible for clinical approval and disapproval of the outcomes.
