السرديات من النقد إلى الإبدال الثقافي: "سرديات ثقافية" نموذجاً
Authors: تاقي سعيدة
Published: December 2024

يشكَّل الوصف عماد السرديات البنيوية معرفياً وتحليلياً. ويشكِّل التأويل منطلق المنظورات الثقافية التي يقدِّمها كل من النقد الثقافي والدراسات الثقافية والنسوية والجندرية، ودراسات الزنوجة، والنظرية ما بعد الاستعمارية. ويتيح السرد محفلا ممتدا في الزمان والمكان يستدعي كل المقاربات والمنظورات والأشكال. في مركز اللقاء بين الرواية والسرديات البنيوية والنقد الثقافي تقترح هذه الدراسة قراءة نقدية في مؤلف "سرديات ثقافية، من سياسات الهوية إلى سياسات الاختلاف" للناقد محمد بوعزة. تستهدي هذه القراءة بالمفاهيم البنيوية للسرد، وتستدعي آفاق المنظورات الثقافية. وتتوخى الدراسة في مساعيها تحقيق نتيجتين اثنتين. أوّلاً كشف مداخل النص النقدي ورهانات الناقد المعرفية والمنهجية في دراسته للمتون الروائية العربية. وتهدف ثانياً إلى استجلاء الإمكانات التحليلية التي يتيحها استثمار المنظورات الثقافية في المقاربة البنيوية للسرد. وقد توصلت الدراسة في محاورها المختلفة إلى نتيجتين اثنتين. تتجلى أُولاهما في أن المقترب التحليلي لمؤلَّف "سرديات ثقافية" لم يعضِّد ما زكَّــاه الإطار النظري للمؤلَّف في رهاناته المعرفية وفي مقترحاته النقدية والمنهجية. وتتلخص ثانيتهما في كون الانتقاءات النصية للمقتربات التحليلية لم تبتعد عن تحديد "النص" المعتمد أكاديميا وعن سلطة النص "البنيوية"، بمنأى عن الأفق المفتوح الذي وطَّنته الدراسات الثقافية والنقد الثقافي لمفهوم النص في العالم.
The description forms the pillar of structural narratives, both cognitive and analytical. Interpretation is the starting point for cultural perspectives presented by discourse analysis, cultural, feminist and gender studies, negro studies and post-colonial theory. The narrative provides an extended context of time and space that calls for all approaches, perspectives and formats. At the center of the meeting between the novel, structural narratives and cultural criticism, this study proposes a critical reading in the study of "cultural narratives, from identity politics to politics of difference" by the critic Muhammad Bouazza. The study first seeks to uncover the entries of the critical text and the critics' knowledge and methodology stakes in his study of the Arabic novels. Second, it aims to clarify the analytical potential of investing cultural perspectives in the structural approach to narrative. The study reached two conclusions. The first is that the analytical approach to the book "Cultural Narratives" did not support what the theoretical framework had built in its epistemological stake and in its critical and methodological proposals. As for the second result, it is that the texts chosen for analytical approaches did not stray from the definition of the academically approved "text" and the "structural" authority, far from the open horizon that cultural studies and cultural criticism have established for the concept of text in the world.

The Hanafi school has its own characteristics and features, including their view of the significance of the text and zihar. Their importance in explaining the legal texts is clear. This study comes to reveal the significance of the text and zihar among the Hanafis. The starting point of this study was a set of questions that summarized the problem of this study, including: What is the concept of the significance of the text and zihar among the Hanafis? How can they be compared among them? The nature of the study relied on the induction and analysis methods. This study reached a set of results, the most prominent of which are: The text and zihar can be differentiated in terms of the ruling and indication thereof, and they agree with the Hanafis on some issues, and differ on most of them. The difference is that the text requires the market, unlike the zihar, and they agree that each of them is subject to specification, interpretation, and abrogation. The study recommends that attention should be paid to the issues of significance among the Hanafis, and that there should be a comparison between them among both the Hanafis and the majority, in order to arrive at the best uses that will help in establishing and deducing contemporary legal issues.
The Reality of Implementing Classroom Discourse Strategies and Their Utilization Mechanisms in Teaching Arabic Language to Eleventh-Grade Students in the Sultanate of Oman
Authors: Alturki Abdulwahad , Mai Mohammed Yusuf
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to explore classroom discourse strategies and understand their utilization mechanisms in teaching Arabic to eleventh-grade students in Oman. To achieve these objectives, the study employed both descriptive and pragmatic approaches, analyzed the Arabic grammar and morphology textbook, and conducted interviews with Arabic language teachers of grade eleven.
The study reached to a number of results: Classroom discourse strategies are widely used across all educational stages, from preschool to higher education. Each stage or subject has unique characteristics, and teachers are expected to determine what best works for their students. A review of the Arabic language textbook demonstrated the application of the four discourse strategies highlighted in the study, with a notable emphasis on the directive strategy. This preference aligns with the characteristics of students at this educational level, who require more guidance than debate. The indicative strategy follows, enabling students to infer certain knowledge independently through self-directed or semi-autonomous learning.
The study concluded with several recommendations, including the need for more research on classroom discourse strategies, particularly in teaching Arabic. A review of the eleventh-grade Arabic textbook highlighted that while these strategies are not uncommon, they require more effort from teachers and researchers to uncover and apply effectively. Therefore, it is recommended that the Ministry of Education reevaluate the Arabic curriculum to align with contemporary educational requirements.
من المتخيل الى الافتراضي تحول سرديات المكان في الرواية الحديثة
Authors: باقر جواد زينب
Published: December 2024

اعتادت الذائقة الروائية على التفاعل مع المكان الى الحد الذي لايقل اهمية من دور البطولة في العمل الروائي، بل قد لا نبالغ اذا ما قلنا ان المكان قد يحتل دور البطولة ويصادر المركزية ويتنازع عليها في احيان اخرى. 
فالمكان عنصر تجتمع فيه ومعه كل العناصر الاخرى المكونة للعمل الروائي، ونرى ان الشخصيات تتفاعل مع المكان بوصفه عاملا فاعلا وموثرا في بناء الحدث وتصاعده. ومن هنا جاءت الفكرة لدراسة المكان في الرواية الحديثة ورصد التحولات الكبرى التي طالت المكان وهو في صعوده من المتخيل الى الافتراضي، وجاء اختيارنا لرواية طشاري لانعام كجه جي أنموذجاً لبحث المكان واجراء مقاربتنا النقدية المتواضعة.
توصلت الدراسة إلى مجموعة من النتائج أبرزها: للمكان داخل العمل الروائي المزية الكبرى والدور الأساس في تأطير فعاليات الشخصية داخل بنية الرواية ومن خلال نرى الشخصية قد بلغت مدياتها في التفاعل والانصهار داخل بوتقة المكان؛ إذا ماكان المكان من العناصر المتخيلة داخل العمل الروائي فانه وبفضل التأثير التكنولوجي قد تحول أيضا الى مكان افتراضي يتعلق بالجانب التكنولوجي والتطورات وهو ما وجدناه على سبيل المثال في المقبرة الافتراضية التي غدت حلما يحلم به المهاجرون والمهجرون.
 
 
The narrative sensibility has become accustomed to interacting with place to an extent that is no less important than the role of the protagonist in the novel. Indeed, we may not be exaggerating if we say that place can assume the role of the protagonist, occasionally seizing centrality and competing for it.
 
Place is an element that brings together all the other components of the novel. We see characters interacting with place as an active and influential factor in shaping the event and its escalation. Hence, the idea emerged to study place in modern novels and to observe the significant transformations that have affected place as it ascends from the imagined to the virtual. We chose the novel "Tashari" by Inaam Kachachi as a model for exploring place and conducting our modest critical approach.
 
The study reached a set of results, the most prominent of which are: the place within the novel has the greatest advantage and the fundamental role in framing the character’s activities within the structure of the novel, and through it we see that the character has reached its limits in interaction and fusion within the crucible of the place; if the place is one of the imaginary elements within the novel, then thanks to the technological influence it has also been transformed into a virtual place related to the technological aspect and developments, which is what we found, for example, in the virtual cemetery that has become a dream dreamed of by immigrants and displaced persons.

Loneliness is an experience that can have far-reaching effects on individuals, especially adolescents, who are in an important developmental phase. Subjective well-being, which includes positive emotions, life satisfaction, and emotional experiences, is an important indicator in assessing adolescents' mental health. This study aims to explore the role of loneliness in influencing subjective well-being in adolescents. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey design, involving 300 adolescent respondents aged 13-18 years. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of the UCLA Loneliness Scale and Diener's Subjective Well-Being Scale. The results of the analysis show that loneliness has a significant negative influence on subjective well-being, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.314. This shows that 31.4% of the variation in subjective well-being can be explained by the level of loneliness. This study indicates that increased levels of loneliness are associated with decreased subjective well-being in adolescents. The findings provide important insights for the development of interventions aimed at improving adolescents' psychological well-being and reducing feelings of loneliness.

Authors: Shirani Maryam , Aghazadeh Elahe , Yousefsani Bahareh Sadat , Shirani Kobra
Published: December 2024

Background: Melanoma, which ranks as the deadliest among all skin cancers, is the third most common type of skin cancer. Given the rapidly increasing incidence of this disease, there is a pressing need for new treatments. Allium species are known for their robust antioxidant properties, sulfur content, and numerous phenolic compounds, which have garnered significant attention in the realm of cancer research. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the potential anticancer properties of Allium jesdianum on melanoma cells (A375) and normal human fibroblast cell lines (AGO-1522). Methods: Initially, a hydroalcoholic extract of the plant was prepared, and the total phenolic and flavonoid content was assessed using spectrophotometry. Subsequently, the study examined cell viability, cytotoxic activity, cytochrome c (CYT-C) release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, and lipid peroxidation. Results: The hydroalcoholic extract of the plant contained 157.6 mg of phenolic compounds and 114.7 mg of flavonoids per gram of dry extract. The plant extracts significantly improved melanoma cell apoptosis (P < 0.001), elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (P < 0.01), enhanced ROS production (P < 0.01), and increased CYT-C levels (P < 0.001). Nevertheless, an equivalent amount of the extract had no significant impact on normal fibroblast cells, indicating its safety. Conclusions: The hydroalcoholic extract of A. jesdianum exhibited notable cytotoxic effects on human melanoma cell lines. Nevertheless, further research is warranted to explore the potential of A. jesdianum as a promising anti-cancer drug.

Published: December 2024

Background: Skin burn is one of the most common complications and it still is considered as a major public health issue throughout the world. Objectives: This experiment was conducted in order to study the effects of Capparis spinosa leaves extract (CSLE) cream compared with silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream to heal burn wounds in rats. Methods: Different parts of the plant (fruit, leaves and petals) were examined for antioxidant activity by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and leave extract was chosen for preparation CSLE cream. Ninety adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups; each group consists of 15 animals. After sedation, a metal heated in boiling water was used for type II skin burning in 1.5 cm diameter circle on the back of the rats. Group one was not treated and considered as control. The burned areas in 2 - 6 groups were covered twice a day with eucerin, SSD cream and CSLE cream (2.5, 5 and 10 %), respectively. The percentage of the burn wound contraction and histopathological examinations on days 4, 9, and 14 were regarded as the parameters of our study. The obtained data were compared between the groups and days, statistically. Results: Our finding showed that 5 and 10% CSLE cream are more effective to decrease burn wound area compared with other groups. Additionally, there was no significant difference between group 5 and 10% regarding wound-size reduction (P < 0.05). Therefore, 5% CSLE cream is the most effective for wound healing. Conclusions: This study indicated that Capparis spinosa leaves extract has potential effect to accelerate wound healing and decrease inflammation in the treated rats and it can be applied in the future, clinically.

Published: December 2024

Background: Yarrow or Achillea millefolium (A. millefolium) is often prescribed for the treatment of nervous system-related diseases. Objectives: This study investigated the effects of acute oral administration of A. millefolium on the responses of barrel cortex neurons in the rat. Methods: In this experimental study, 21 male Wistar rats (body weight, 200 g - 250 g) were divided into three groups, with seven animals in each group. Aqueous extract of A. millefolium (1.4 and 2.8 mg/kg/mL) was administered by gavage, and the responses of barrel cortex neurons (i.e., the deflection of principal whiskers [PWs] and adjacent whiskers [AWs]) were recorded using tungsten microelectrodes. Computer-controlled mechanical displacement was used to deflect whiskers individually or in combination at 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100 ms inter-stimulus intervals (ISIs). The ON and OFF responses of the PWs and AWs to deflection were measured. A condition-test ratio (CTR) was computed to quantify neuronal responses to whisker interactions. Results: The evoked ON and OFF responses of PWs and AWs did not change following the treatment with the A. millefolium aqueous extract (0.5, 1, and 2 hours postapplication). The stimulation of AWs before PWs decreased ON and OFF neuronal activities. The decrement in the level of response was related to the ISI. The administration of the A. millefolium aqueous extract did not change the level of ON and OFF responses at any of the ISIs. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that acute oral administration of A. millefolium aqueous extract did not modulate electrophysiological responses of neurons in the barrel cortex of rats.

Published: December 2024

Background: Adding antimicrobial agents to biodegradable packaging can make a coating that can protect foods and drugs against microbial contamination. Objectives: To evaluate the physical and mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity of soy protein concentrate (SPC) and pullulan films incorporated with Zataria multiflora (ZM) and Artemisia biennis (AB) essential oils (Eos). Methods: In this study, the pullulan and SPC solutions were mixed in a 50:50 ratio and EOs from ZM or AB were incorporated into the film solution at various concentrations. The casting/solvent evaporation method was used for film formation. Physical and mechanical characterization was determined, and the antimicrobial activities of the films were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Escherichia coli by agar diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was also identified. Results: The prepared films were flexible without pores and homogeneous. The addition of EOs significantly increased the thickness and elongation at break but reduced the tensile strength, water vapor permeability, and solubility in water of the films (P < 0.05). Unlike in the control film, the addition of EOs resulted in a dark and yellow film appearance as evidenced by the lower L and greater ΔE and b. In all concentrations, the intensity of the antimicrobial activity of AB was significantly lower than that of ZM (P < 0.05). E. coli and S. aureus had the highest and the lowest resistance to the antimicrobial effect of Eos, respectively. Conclusions: These findings may lead to the utilization of this new antibacterial film that has the potential to be used as packaging material.

Published: December 2024

Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a serious threat to many endemic regions of the world, which may lead to some complications such as secondary infections, permanent scars, etc. Although there are available drugs, i.e. pentavalent antimony compounds for the treatment of CL, they are expensive, have side effects and/or there may be some drug-resistant species. Therefore, there is a tantalizing field of study to discover novel compounds against CL. In this study, we evaluated the leishmanicidal effects of Chaerophyllum plant extract on Leishmania major promastigotes in vitro. Methods: In each sterile 96-well plate, a volume of 100 λ of promastigotes was added. The three first wells lacked drug but contained drug solvents. Then, various concentrations of Chaerophyllum extract (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg/mL) were added to the parasite culture. Subsequently, the percentage of cytotoxicity of promastigotes and J774 macrophages were evaluated by the Microculture Tetrazolium Test (MTT) method. Also, the percentage of J774 macrophage apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. Results: The IC50 of Chaerophyllum extract was 80.62 µg/mL after 24 hours. The percentage of cytotoxicity of promastigotes and J774 macrophages after adding Chaerophyllum extract was 91% and 45%, respectively, by MTT. The percentage of apoptosis (early and late apoptosis) in macrophages induced by 50 and 100 μg/mL of Chaerophyllum extract after 24 hours was 0.01%, 0.13%, 0.01% and 0.1%, respectively. Conclusions: According to the MTT test, the concentration of 200 μg/mL of Chaerophyllum extract with 90% cytotoxicity was promising against L. major promastigotes and further studies are recommended to evaluate the effects of this plant.

Authors: Roozbeh Jamshid , Akrami Rahimeh , Hashempur Mohammad Hashem , Tavakoli Ali , Nimrouzi Majid , Sayadi Mehrab , Roodaki Maryam
Published: December 2024

Background: Uremic pruritus (UP) is a common, bothersome symptom in hemodialysis (HD) patients with end-stage renal disease. Immunohypothesis is currently favored as an explanation of the cause of UP. Fumaria parviflora L (FP) is a medicinal herb with several pharmacological properties, including prominent anti-inflammatory activity. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of FP for reducing UP severity among HD patients. Methods: A total of 79 HD patients with pruritus were randomly assigned to receive either FP or a placebo for eight weeks. The visual analogue scale (VAS), the Duo score for calculating pruritus score, serum interferon-γ (IFN-γ) level, interleukin-4 (IL-4), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were measured in the patients before and after treatment. Results: At the end of the treatment phase, the pruritus score decreased in both groups (P < 0.001); however, the mean reduction in pruritus scores was significantly higher in the FP group than the placebo group according to VAS (-6.15 ± 2.12 vs. -2.25 ± 2.46, P < 0.001) and Duo scores (-22.03 ± 9.64 vs. -8.38 ± 6.28, P < 0.001). IFN-γ mean serum levels in the FP group significantly decreased (P < 0.001), but there was no significant change in these levels in the placebo group (P = 0.604). The elevation of the mean serum IL-4 level was significant in the FP group (P = 0.028) but not in the placebo group (p = 0.100). Conclusions: FP can significantly decrease the severity of UP in HD patients.

In this response to Seisuke Hayakawa’s paper, “Empathy, Timeliness, and Virtuous Hearing,” I have three distinct aims: to highlight how Hayawaka’s account of virtuous hearing deepens our understanding of ethical engagement; to raise questions about how timeliness will work in certain situations; and to draw attention to a line of empirical research that may support Hayawaka’s account.
Epistemic Normativity in Non-Ideal Worlds
Authors: Dalmiya Vrinda ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2024

I analyze Casey Johnson’s “care-based epistemology” in terms of four concepts—“epistemic need,” “relational epistemic obligations,” “epistemic labor,” and “epistemic reproduction”—that she derives from the relational framework of care. I first discuss how these notions reconfigure epistemic normativity as crafting healthy communities that satisfy epistemic needs of its members. Then I point to two theoretical resources that could strengthen this thesis but which Johnson either ignores or explicitly rejects. While Johnson is interested in drawing out the implications of care ethics for a theory of knowledge, there is much in her discussion to suggest that a care-based epistemology can loop back to enrich care ethics itself—indicating a tighter connection between good caring and good knowing.

Authors: Lusiana Deni
Published: December 2024

Posyandu for toddlers and pregnant women is one of the services that has direct contact with the community. Posyandu activities for toddlers and pregnant women focus on preventive efforts including early detection and empowerment to prevent stunting. The implementation of posyandu for toddlers and pregnant women is driven by cadres from the local community who are willing and work voluntarily with the assistance of Health Center health workers. So it is important to carry out cadre training to distribute quality cadres both in number and quality. Training for posyandu cadres for toddlers and pregnant women refers to the curriculum and training modules for posyandu cadres published by the Indonesian Ministry of Health. Stunting prevention can be done by early detection at posyandu for toddlers and pregnant women. The material provided is about early detection of stunting from measurement methods, interpretation and accompanying menus for stunting prevention. The implementation of PkM began with providing material twice and then evaluation once in the RW 05 cadre area. The counseling was attended by 21 cadres of toddlers and pregnant women in the Demangan area from RW 01-12.

Adolescent pregnancy poses significant health challenges due to higher risks of complications, including preeclampsia, which contributes to increased maternal and neonatal morbidity rates. This study aims to compare pregnancy outcomes between adolescents and adults diagnosed with preeclampsia to identify specific risk factors and provide insights for improving healthcare practices. A cross-sectional study was conducted by analyzing medical records of singleton pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia at Muhammadiyah Palembang Hospital from 2019 to 2021. Data were analyzed using chi-square and Mann Whitney U tests with a significance threshold of p<0.05. The results indicate that adolescents have significantly higher rates of placental abruption (p=0.009), oliguria (p=0.006), eclampsia (p<0.001), and ICU admissions (p<0.001) compared to adults. Furthermore, adolescents exhibited lower education levels (p<0.001), while no significant differences were observed in gestational age, delivery method, or preeclampsia onset. These findings underscore the heightened maternal risks associated with adolescent pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, highlighting the importance of improved antenatal care and reproductive health education to mitigate adverse outcomes.

Görsel Öyküleme Süreçlerinde Konsept Tasarım ve İllüstrasyon
Authors: Tanrıkulu Mesut
Published: December 2024

Görsel öyküleme süreçlerinde konsept tasarım ve illüstrasyon, yaratıcı projelerde hikâyenin görsel temellerini oluşturarak anlatının duygusal ve estetik boyutlarını derinleştirmektedir. Konsept tasarım, hikâye dünyasının çerçevesini çizerken, illüstrasyon bu çerçeveyi detaylandırarak izleyiciyi anlatıya bağlayan görsel bir deneyim sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, konsept tasarım ve illüstrasyon ilişkisi yaratıcı projelerde görsel bütünlüğü ve tutarlılığı sağlayan önemli bir bağlayıcıdır. Görsel öyküleme, yalnızca hikâyeyi göstermek değil, aynı zamanda onu duygusal ve kavramsal olarak zenginleştirme amacı taşımaktadır. Konsept tasarım hikâyenin estetik ve tematik yapısını oluştururken, illüstrasyon anlatının görselleştirilmesi sürecinde hikâyeye yeni katmanlar eklemektedir. Dijital teknolojilerin ve yaratıcı endüstrilerin gelişimiyle birlikte bu iki disiplin, özellikle animasyon, oyun tasarımı ve reklam gibi alanlarda güçlü bir iş birliği örneği sunmaktadır. Bu süreçte konsept tasarımın rehberliği, illüstrasyonun detaylandırma gücüyle birleşerek izleyiciye zengin bir görsel anlatım sunmaktadır.
İllüstrasyonun yalnızca bir sonuç ürünü değil, aynı zamanda yaratıcı bir düşünce ve tasarlama yöntemi olduğu görüşü, bu çalışmanın çıkış noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Konsept tasarımın stratejik çerçevesi ile illüstrasyonun duygusal ve estetik katkıları bir araya gelerek, görsel öyküleme süreçlerinde yeni anlatı biçimlerine olanak tanıdığı görülmektedir.

Authors: McKIE E. Jessica
Published: December 2024

1980’lerde “beyaz küp” sergi anlayışından “yerleştirme”ye geçişle sanat ve izleyici ilişkisi dönüşüm geçirmiştir. Günümüzde ise bu dönüşüm, “dijital küp” kavramıyla devam etmekte, dijital sergi tasarımı sanatsal ve kültürel içeriğin etkileşimli ve veri temelli yöntemlerle sunulmasını sağlamaktadır. Artırılmış gerçeklik (AR) ve sanal gerçeklik (VR) gibi teknolojiler, izleyiciye sürükleyici deneyimler sunarken, dijital araçlar illüstrasyon sanatını dönüştürerek yaratıcı anlatımlara katkıda bulunmaktadır. Dijital hikâye anlatımı, duygusal etkileşim ve bilişsel anlamayı kolaylaştırarak izleyiciyle iletişim kurmayı kolaylaştırmaktadır. Ayrıca illüstrasyon, dijital sergilerde hem estetik hem de mesaj iletimi açısından kritik bir rol oynamaktadır.Bu makalede, dijital sergileme tasarımı süreçleri ve illüstrasyonun bu süreçlere hangi amaçla entegre edildiği tartışılmıştır. İllüstrasyonlar, hem geçmişi hem de geleceği kapsayan çok katmanlı bir anlatım sunarak izleyicide duygusal bağ yaratabilmektedir. Dijital sergilerde kullanılan çoklu ortam teknolojilerine entegre illüstrasyon kullanımı, hem iletişim hem de görsel sanatlarda yeni ufuklar açmaktadır.
