Del Col and McCreery’s Kill Shakespeare: A Reading of Shakespeare through Critical Pedagogy
Authors: Al-Shara'h Mais , Al-Shara’h Arene , Salman Dina , Alkayid Majd
Published: January 2024

Objectives: This paper aims to investigate how the inherent taste in Shakespeare can change through the teaching of the very core of English heritage; Shakespeare, by applying critical pedagogy as a method which in its turn diminishes superiority of the value and taste that is given to his name.
Methods: It argues that teaching through the usage of critical pedagogy is a way to tame the idea, the name, and the obsession of and with Shakespeare by answering the question: How could critical pedagogy be a way for educators to specialize in and inform students of Shakespeare without becoming part of the Western Metaphysical bandwagon that idealizes cover-ups which market preach-hood and forms?
Results: The results indicate that there is a need to a reading of the word ‘Shakespeare’ through critical pedagogy. This would make space for the death of the author and the authority that is associated to the word ‘Shakespeare.’
Conclusion: Finally, the paper will conclude with how Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery's comic book series, Kill Shakespeare (2010-2014), as well as other literary texts, have brought to light ways in which the authority of Shakespeare's dominion over the English literary canon and the pressure of approaching Shakespeare is a window to reading Shakespeare under the scope of critical pedagogy.
اللهجات الحديثة، امتداد للقديمة؟ أم تطوّر عن الفصيحة؟ دراسة لغويّة في ظواهر من اللهجة الأردنيّة
Authors: هزاع علي الزعبي معاذ , العسيلي إياد فتحي , شعلان سناء كامل , الشوابكة سمية سليمان
Published: January 2024

الأهداف: يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة بعض الظواهر البارزة في اللهجة الأردنيّة، بوصفها تغطّي مكانا ذا توزيع جغرافيّ كبير، وفيه ألوان متعدّدة من السكّان؛ فهو يقع على عدَدٍ من المناطق الحدوديّة، وكان تابعا للدولة الرومانيّة قديما. ويهدف إلى بيان الأصول الأولى للهجات الحديثة، بين أن تكون صورة متطوّرة عن اللغة الفصيحة، أو أن تكون امتدادا للهجات العربيّة القديمة، وصولا إلى اللهجات في اللغات الساميّة.
المنهجيّة: رصدت الدراسة نماذج من الظواهر اللهجيّة المشتركة في اللهجة الأردنيّة، واختارت منها نماذج محدّدة، بحثت عن أصولها في أمّات الكتب العربية القديمة والحديثة، ودرست كلّ ظاهرة بصورة مستقلّة.
النتائج: وصل البحث إلى أنّ اللهجات الحديثة امتدادٌ للهجات القديمة؛ فهي أنماط لغويّة قائمة جنبًا إلى جنب مع اللغة الفصيحة التي كانت واحدةً من هذه اللهجات، فلقيت عناية مختلفة عن غيرها من الناطقين بها، لأبعاد اقتصاديّة ودينيّة وسياسيّة، فظهرت على اللهجات جميعها، وصارت أصلًا، تبعه غيرها. ووصل إلى أنّ اللغة العربيّة، قديما، كانت مستويات متعدّدة، فيها الفصيح والعاميّ، وليست كّلّها مستوى واحدًا كما يتبادر لبعض الباحثين.
الخلاصة: ينفي البحث كوْن اللهجات الحديثة تطوّرًا عن الفصيحة، ويبيّن أنّها ليست صورًا طارئة عليها، بل هي موجودة مع الفصيحة منذ ولادتها، ما يعني أنّها ستبقى على صورتها مدّةَ حياةِ الفصيحة، ولن تشكّل تهديدًا لها. وقد نظر البحث إلى اللغة قديمًا وَفْق مستويين؛ مستوى فصيح يمثّل اللغة العالية عند العرب، حفظتْه لنا النماذج الشعريّة التي وصلت إلينا، ومستوى لَهجيّ، تدلّ عليه الأنماط اللهجيّة السائدة قديمًا.

Authors: حمدان خالد , بوعكاكة صليحة
Published: January 2024

الأهداف: تهدف الدراسة إلى تعرُّف التغيرات التي تميز النخبة السياسية التي يتألف منها مجلس النواب المغربي. وذلك لرصد تطور هذه النخبة في السياقات الجديدة المتعلقة بمرجعية حقوق الإنسان من جهة، وتطورات الوظيفة البرلمانية التي أصبحت تتطلب نخبة ذات مهارات علمية وتقنية وأكاديمية للتعامل مع مهام التشريع والرقابة وتقييم السياسات العمومية.
المنهجية: لدراسة ملامح النخبة البرلمانية المغربية، شمل الموضوع جميع أعضاء مجلس النواب. وجرى تحليل نتائج كل ولاية تشريعية منذ أول دستور مغربي سنة 1962 إلى الآن، مع الأخذ بعين الاعتبار السياقات والخصوصيات القانونية والسياسية التي تميز كل ولاية تشريعية.
النتائج: بينت النتائج أن تمثيل المرأة المغربية لم يتجاوز ربع المجلس، وتمثيل الشباب لم يتجاوز السدس رغم الإجراءات التحفيزية المقدمة لهذه الفئات. كما بينت الدراسة أن فئة المقاولين والقطاع الخاص، أصبحت تناهز نصف أعضاء المجلس خلال الولايات الأخيرة، في حين نسبة أصحاب المستوى الجامعي أصبحت تقارب ثلاثة أرباع المجلس.
الخلاصة: خلصت الدراسة إلى وجود تناقضات على ملامح النخبة البرلمانية المغربية وقاعدتها الانتخابية؛ إلا أنها عرفت تطورًا تدريجيًّا، من ولاية تشريعية لأخرى، بفعل دخول الشباب والنساء وأصحاب المستوى التعليمي العالي والقطاع الخاص.

Authors: Al-Afef Ahmad Khlaif , Mahafza Mohammed Abdel-Karim , Al-Afif Ahmad Husein , Gogazeh Ziyad Mohammad
Published: January 2024

Objectives: The study aims to analyze the impact of the state of conflict and lack of harmony between the internal Libyan political and social forces, on the continuity and development of the Libyan crisis 2014-2018, and the failure of all political initiatives proposed to solve it.
Methods: The subject was studied through the analytical descriptive approach based on analyzing the data and statements issued by the active forces in the course of the crisis, and its alignment with the reality of the course of events .
Results: The study showed that the main factor in the continuity and the development of the Libyan crisis is related, in the first place, to the rejection of all the internal Libyan conflict forces, specially the Islamic and liberal ones of all the proposed political agreement attempts, and the endeavor of each of them to monopolize power and exclude the other, and the rejection of the principle of polititical pluralism.
Conclusions: The Libyan crisis 2014-2018 was formed by what Libya inherited after the 2011 revolution, embodied by a weak authority that was unable to impose state sovereignty on all parts of the country, This led to the ignition of conflict between all internal political and social Libyan forces and the spread of civil war. The intervention of greedy foreign powers, especially the European power, helped in its development. They were looking forward to dominating Libyan wealth.

DECISION DILEMMAS: HIGHER EDUCATION PURSUITS OR WORKFORCE ENTRY AMONG SPM GRADUATES
Authors: Othman Irma Wani , Mokhtar Saifulazry , Lebai Ahmad Mohd Khairi , Diming Roslan , Ag Bakar Khadijah , Yusoff Muhammad Safuan
Published: January 2024

Education holds a paramount and prioritized status within any nation, notably in Malaysia, where it is viewed as the key to progress and national prosperity. However, in contemporary times, education has become a secondary choice for the younger generation, especially those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Therefore, the decision to continue education or enter the workforce has become a heatedly debated issue in the current era of globalization, presenting challenges and dilemmas, particularly for those who have recently completed their studies at the Sijil Peperiksaan Malaysia (SPM) level. This paper delves into four issues contributing to the dilemma and challenges, namely (i) the diminishing relevance of the concept of continuing education; (ii) uncertainties in the economic sector often acting as barriers for the youth to pursue further studies; (iii) an individual's interest in academic pursuits—an issue not to be underestimated; and (iv) graduate unemployment within the country causing distress among graduates due to a lack of job guarantees after studying, leading the youth to fear pursuing higher education. This literature-oriented research applies a comprehensive reading technique, systematically analyzing relevant articles on graduate careers to address the four highlighted issues. The findings indicate (a) a phenomenon referring to the notably low starting salaries for fresh graduates, serving as a measure of a graduate's potential based on the study period; it becomes irrelevant as a student's interest in working independently, such as venturing into small-scale business, surpasses the desire to pursue higher education; (b) Financial issues within families prevent them from covering their children's educational expenses, exacerbated by workforce reductions involving family breadwinners covering school-related expenses; (c) Lack of interest in academics leads individuals to immerse themselves in the workforce. Therefore, education or learning is crucial in our lives; and (d) Work experience is emphasized by employers when seeking employment. These findings prove that the given issues pose dilemmas and challenges, causing the youth to opt for work over further education. The direction concerning the issue of continuing education or entering the workforce for high school graduates is related to education, serving as a benchmark for a rapidly developing nation. However, from the perspective of the younger generation, education should be understood as an important bridge of knowledge to ensure a bright life based on intellectual, emotional, and physical skills.

Median PFS was 18 months with 74.01% of patients having no progression at their last follow-up. The median OS was 23 months. Adjuvant radiotherapy was associated with a significant overall survival benefit (P-value: 0.05). Adjuvant chemotherapy was not associated with a significant survival benefit (P-value: 0.5). Age, tumor size, and disease status (localized disease) conferred a non-significant trend towards a better outcome.

Conclusion: Adjuvant radiotherapy is the only factor that affects the outcomes of this disease. Further multicentred and preferably prospective studies with a larger number of patients are required to define disease characteristics and patient outcomes of primary breast sarcoma in Pakistan.

Classification of direct optical signal inputs by Ag2S island network reservoir
Authors: Matsuo Risa , Hasegawa Tsuyoshi
Published: January 2024

We have reported that a physical reservoir with a silver sulfide island network can classify simple patterns of an irradiated light without converting it to a voltage signal input. In this study, we conducted experiments to verify whether the detection of dynamical change in an irradiating light, e.g., moving in a reservoir layer, can be available. We also investigated the possibility that the reservoir could detect a position of light exposure, in addition to the dependence on the wavelength and the exposure time. The technique was applied to a task of whether character-shaped light patterns could be recognized even if the irradiated position was changed.
Research on tactile sensation by physical reservoir computing with a robot arm and a Ag2S reservoir
Authors: Yoshimura Kaiki , Hasegawa Tsuyoshi
Published: January 2024

In recent years, physical reservoir computing has attracted much attention because of its low computational cost and low power consumption. In terms of social implementation of artificial intelligence, physical reservoir has a potential to meet the request, such as the need for AI robots to process information related to tactile sensation. It has been reported that a Ag2S polycrystalline thin film retains short-term memory and non-linearity when used as a physical reservoir. In this study, we applied the technique to tactile sensation by combining with a pressure sensor attached to a robot arm. In the object grasping task, a Ag2S physical reservoir enabled the objective recognition with the accuracy of 81.3%, although the task failed with linear regression of the direct output from the pressure sensor. We also demonstrate the potential of the system to detect anomalies in object grabbing.
Analysis of tunneling probability in heavily doped 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes based on complex band structure considering barrier potential
Authors: Murakami Yutoku , Nagamizo Sachika , Tanaka Hajime , Mori Nobuya
Published: January 2024

The tunneling probability in heavily doped 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) is analyzed based on the empirical pseudopotential method (EPM). A method of calculating the tunneling probability within the WKB approximation using the EPM electronic states of bulk 4H-SiC has been reported. In the present study, to investigate the validity of this method, the tunneling probability is calculated by connecting the incident, transmitted, and reflected wavefunctions considering the barrier potential of a SBD instead of using the WKB approximation. Comparing the calculated results with and without the WKB approximation, the difference is found to be rather small. This suggests that we can safely use the WKB approximation with the bulk electronic states, which are obtained without considering the barrier potential, when calculating the tunneling current in the heavily doped 4H-SiC SBDs.

Indirect Algorithm for Solving Variation Problems
Authors: Jabbar A. Eleiwy
Published: January 2024

In this paper, an approximate indirect method to solve some variational problems is proposed in terms of shifted Legendre polynomials. The operational matrix of differentiation for shifted Legendre polynomials is first derived. Using the operational matrix of differentiation, the variational problems are reduced to the solution of system of algebric equations with unknown shifted Legendre coefficients. Numerical example illustrates the efficiency, simplicity and accuracy of the proposed method.

In this paper I deal with quaternions history which were discovered by William Rowan Hamilton in 1843.

Also I take some definitions and the basic properties of quaternions.

My basic aim is how to representing quaternions as matrices. There are at least two ways of the representing of matrices, the first way is used 2×2 complex matrices and the second one is used 4×4 real matrices.

I can able to generalize the first way by using n×n complex matrices that n is even.

DES Ciphering Algorithm
Authors: Mohammed Jasem Reza
Published: January 2024

The main goal of this work is the implementation of cryptanalysis of DES and a statistical and theoretical analysis of its complexity and success probability. In order to achieve this goal, we implement first a very fast DES routine, resulting in a speed increase of almost 50 % towards the best known classical implementation. The experimental results suggest strongly that the attack is in average about 10 times faster as expected with plaintext-ciphertext at disposal; furthermore, we have achieved a complexity of by using only known pairs. Last, we propose a new analytical expression which approximates success probabilities; it gives slightly better results

Job training schools at the Giornata della Tecnica: a contribution for a history of professional education in the years of fascism
Authors: Martinelli Chiara
Published: January 2024

A scant literature is devoted to analyse the evolution of vocational education in Italy during Fascism. The article aims at addressing (even partially) to the issue using a particular kind of sources: the publication the Provincial Scholastic Deputy had to write in 1941 for celebrating the “Giornata della Tecnica” (Day for the promotion of Technical Culture), introduced by Fascism in 1940 for prompting enrolment in technical institutes and, almost of all, in the so-called scuole d’avviamento professionale (job training schools). Reformed since 1929, the scuole d’avviamento professionale were a three-year post-elementary course whose enrolments highly expanded during 1930s. Scholastic reform planned in 1939 – the so-called “Carta della Scuola” – aimed at abolishing this school. At its place, were planned two kinds of vocational schools, the scuola professionale (vocational school) and the scuola artigiana (craft school): both of them would have granted to their pupils less possibilities to change their social status than the scuola d’avviamento did. Publications analysed show a twofold attitude towards these institutes: some headmasters presented them as a way for pupils to achieve higher level of education; however, scholastic officer regarded them as a “diverted” school, which encouraged pupils to flee from their social and territorial environment.
History teaching in Russia and Ukraine: the revision of school textbooks in a comparative perspective (1991-2014)
Authors: Caroli Dorena
Published: January 2024

This article aims at presenting some relevant aspects of the heated historiographical debate on the evolution of the teaching of history and on the revision of textbooks performed in post-Soviet Russia and Ukraine. The introduction will describe the beginning of the renewal process of history teaching undertaken in the years preceding the fall of the communist regime (December 1991). The first part and the second one will analyse the main features of the textbooks revision process in the two countries, Russia and Ukraine, after 1991, focusing on the most popular textbooks and interpretation changes in the textbooks published after 2000. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was the culmination of a process of geopolitical instrumentalization of history that led to the separation of the history shared between the two countries.
Sobre orestes e sócrates: a democracia decidindo entre a vida e a morte
Authors: Monteiro Marco Antônio S.
Published: January 2024

Neste ensaio foram observados aspectos importantes das deliberações do júri e como a democracia se apresenta nessas situações. Usou-se como objeto de análise duas passagens da Grécia Antiga, uma da ficção teatral e, a outra, um relato histórico. A Eumênides, escrita por Ésquilo, e a Apologia de Sócrates, nas versões de Platão e de Xenofonte, são exemplos instigantes de deliberações democráticas em tribunais. Nelas, o que se decide é a vida ou a morte do réu. As características da democracia foram analisadas para a melhor compreensão dos traços deliberativos de um júri. Os pensamentos de René Girard, Nietzsche e Hobbes ajudaram a compreender aspectos da antropologia filosófica, no que diz respeito principalmente à natureza humana, de tal modo a esclarecer questões sobre o agir que interferem no julgamento e que podem ser úteis para o aprimoramento do sistema democrático. Utilizou-se o método de pesquisa qualitativo bibliográfico, com ênfase na apreciação dos textos literários, tendo por objetivo a busca de inferências corroboradas pelo pensamento dos autores supracitados.
