“Fruity” Dye-based Fluorescent Nanoparticles (dFONs): A Fully Organic Counterpart of Alloy and Core-Shell Metallic Nanoparticles. Tuning Topology to Maximize Nano-interfacial Promoted Fluorescence Enhancement
Authors: Kurek Eleonore , Rosendale Morgane , Verlhac Jean-Baptiste , Marais Sébastien , Daniel Jonathan , Blanchard-Desce Mireille
Published: July 2024

Engineered nanomaterials are a blooming field of research among which luminescent nanoparticles are becoming major players for biological applications. While inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic nanoparticles greatly dominate the field, research on all-organic nanoparticles is gaining momentum thanks to the versatility and tunability offered by advances in synthesis especially in polymer science but also by molecular engineering. Following this less travelled route, in the present work we demonstrate how to achieve ultra-bright dye-based Fluorescent Organic Nanoparticles (dFONs) mimicking metallic nanoparticles; i.e. core-shell and alloy type dFONs. Their design relies on the smart association of organic constituents that combine structural similarity, finely tuned electronic and photophysical properties for efficient Förster Resonance Energy Transfer if confined into close proximity. Strikingly, these nano-constructions show unique optical properties. First, both core-shell and alloy dFONs show highly efficient energy harvesting and giant absorption thanks to ultimate molecular confinement of a large number of strongly absorbing dyes. Second, we demonstrate for the first time that we can maximize the nano-interfacial emission enhancement (NIEE) effect by tuning the topology of core-shell type dFONs. Finally bioimaging experiments demonstrate that core-shell dFONs are internalized into COS7 cells and retain their specific emissive properties in these cells.

Thermal denaturation (TD), known as antigen retrieval, heats tissue samples in a buffered solution to expose protein epitopes. Thermal denaturation of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples enhances on-tissue tryptic digestion, increasing peptide detection using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS). We investigated the tissue-dependent effects of TD on peptide MALDI IMS and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) signal in unfixed, frozen human colon, ovary, and pancreas tissue. In a triplicate experiment using time-of-flight, orbitrap, and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry platforms, we found that TD had a tissue-dependent effect on peptide signal, resulting in a (22.5%) improvement in peptide detection from the colon, a (73.3%) improvement in ovary tissue, and a (96.6%) improvement in pancreas tissue. Biochemical analysis of identified peptides shows that TD facilitates identification of hydrophobic peptides.
Differential Absorption of Circularly Polarized Light by a Centrosymmetric Inorganic Crystal

Published: July 2024

Properties of crystalline inorganic materials are governed by universal structure–property relationships derived from their crystal symmetry, leading to paradigmatic rules on what they can and cannot do. A long-held structure–property relationship is that centrosymmetric solids do not differentially absorb circularly-polarized light. Here, we demonstrate the design, synthesis, and characterization of the centrosymmetric material Li2Co3(SeO3)4, that violates this relationship, not by defying symmetry-imposed selection rules, but by invoking a photophysical process not previously identified for inorganic crystals. This process originates from an interference between linear dichroism and linear birefringence, referred to as LD-LB, and involves strong chiroptical signals that invert upon sample flipping. In addition to enabling a chiroptical response under centrosymmetry, this process opens new photonic engineering opportunities based on inorganic solids.

Authors: Silva Eliane , Dias Herbert , Oliveira Anderson , Crotti Antônio
Published: July 2024

Chemoenzymatic strategies for synthesizing complex molecules have been raised by combining biocatalytic and synthetic methods in a multistep approach toward a target molecule. Dihydrobenzofuran neolignans (DBNs) are a class of plant-derived natural compounds that display several biological activities. They are commonly obtained in low yields and without stereochemistry control through the oxidative coupling of phenylpropanoids. This study reports the novel eco-friendly, and regio- and diastereoselective conversion of methyl trans-ferulate (1) into DBN 2 ((±)-trans-dehydrodiferulate dimethyl ester) promoted by Trametes versicolor FC. The biotransformation approach afforded DBN 2 in 47% yield, with an interesting enantioselectivity compared to Ag2O-promoted oxidative coupling, as confirmed by chiral-HPLC analyses.
Studies on in-flight aircraft rerouting

Published: July 2024

With the publication of this article, the authors continue the research on the development and testing of a methodology for in-flight aircraft rerouting which have begun in previously published articles in the Civil Aviation High Technologies of the Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation. This article presents the results of the study in terms of developing the potentials of the methodology from reconfiguring a route of a hypothetical aircraft and obstacles in the horizontal plane, which were  previously demonstrated, prior to rerouting in both the horizontal and vertical planes for two different types of obstacles: 1) ground natural or artificial (mountain, power line support, etc.); 2) air (squall line, prohibited flight area, etc.) and their combinations using an example of a Mi-8 helicopter flight on route using a real digital map of the terrain. As mentioned above, a large amount of aviation accidents is associated with the loss of control in-flight, as well as the collision with terrain in a controlled flight (categories LOC-I, CFIT, LALT). As a result of the investigation of the aviation accidents, it was found that these accidents are often caused by the requirement to reroute quickly due to obstacles, for example, a squall line. When determining alternatives to avoid an obstacle, as well as while implementing the selected route for avoiding action, the crew makes errors due to the increased psychophysiological load and lack of time. The methodology and the algorithms, proposed by the authors, make it possible to assess the safety of an original route, estimate options for alternatives to avoid around obstacles detected in-flight, check them for feasibility, taking into account aircraft performance, flight envelope, and also select the optimal route from the  view of some criterion, for example, based on minimizing the route length increase, reducing additional fuel consumption, the time required to implement a new route of flight, etc.

Published: July 2024

Blood banks play a critical role in ensuring a steady supply of safe blood for medical procedures. However, donor recruitment and retention pose significant challenges to the sustainability of blood banks. This study proposes an AIenabled decision-support system to optimize donor recruitment and retention strategies in blood banks. The system leverages machine learning algorithms to analyze historical donor data, demographic information, and external factors to predict donor behavior and identify potential strategies for improving recruitment and retention. By incorporating AI into decision-making processes, blood banks can make data-driven decisions, enhance the efficiency of donor management, and allocate resources effectively. This paper presents the methodology used to develop the AIenabled system and discusses its potential benefits and implications for blood bank operations. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in identifying successful recruitment and retention strategies. Overall, the research offers valuable insights into the application of AI in blood bank management, ultimately leading to more sustainable and efficient donor recruitment and retention practices.

Published: July 2024

Objective: To analyze the application effect of the problem-based learning (PBL) teaching method combined with flipped classrooms in the standardized training of gastroenterology residents. Methods: Sixty-five resident trainees who were admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of the hospital from January to December 2023 were selected and divided into the control group (n = 33) and the observation group (n = 32) by random number division method. The control group implemented the traditional clinical teaching method, and the observation group implemented the PBL combined flipped classroom teaching method. The study compared the two groups’ discharge learning performance, trainees’ subjective feeling score, and teaching satisfaction score index. Results: The difference in basic knowledge scores between the two groups of trainees under different teaching modes was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). However, the observation group was significantly higher than the control group in terms of the differences in case analysis, clinical operation skills, and total scores, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The trainees of the observation group were more satisfied with the teaching and learning process in terms of learning efficiency, clinical thinking, communication, faculty-student collegiality, teamwork, self-study ability, classroom atmosphere, independent learning, clinical thinking and other subjective feelings of the scores are higher than the control group, the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). The observation group teaching total satisfaction rate is 96.87%, significantly higher than the control group’s 75.75% (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of the PBL teaching method combined with flipped classroom in the standardized training of residents is effective, which can not only significantly improve the basic theory and practical operation performance of the trainees, but also help to improve their case analysis ability, clinical thinking ability, and doctor-patient communication ability, so it is worthwhile to popularize its application in the clinical scope.

Published: July 2024

Background: Maternal and infant morbidity and mortality continue to be a challenge today. Most maternal and newborn deaths occur during the early postnatal period. This condition can be caused by low utilization of postnatal care services. This study aims to analyze and estimate the influence of determining factors on the utilization of postnatal care services.
Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis was conducted using PRISMA guidelines and PICO format. Population: Postpartum Mothers. Intervention: high antenatal care, high maternal education, high family income and delivery in hospital. Comparison: low antenatal care, low maternal education, low family income, home birth. Outcome: postnatal care services. Cross-sectional study articles were collected from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct databases. The search strategy used the keywords: "Determinant Postnatal Care" AND "Maternal Health Service" AND "Cross-Sectional". The inclusion criteria for this study were full-text, cross-sectional studies published from 2014 to 2023. Data from articles were extracted with RevMan 5.3.
Results: The meta-analysis included 16 cross-sectional studies from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi. The total sample was 29,165 postpartum mothers. Postnatal mothers with high antenatal care visits (aOR= 2.64; 95% CI= 1.87 to 3.71; p = 0.001), high education (aOR= 2.09; 95% CI= 1.67 to 2.63; p = 0.001), high family income (aOR= 1.63; 95% CI= 1.25 to 2.11; p = 0.002), and hospital delivery (aOR= 1.58; 95% CI= 1.15 to 2.97; p = 0.010) allow the utilization of postnatal care services and these results were statistically significant.
Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that high antenatal care, high maternal education, high family income and delivery in hospital have a positive effect on the utilization of postnatal care services.
Exploring the Drivers of Home Births: Perspectives, Risks, Benefits, and Policy Implications in Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines
Authors: Modillas Marichu B. , Oliva Dave L. , Opada Lynne Leah M. , Gallego Randy Ian
Published: July 2024

Background: The persistence of home births in the Philippines remains conspicuous, despite the enforcement of policies discouraging this practice and the prevailing concerns about its safety. This research aims to delve into the various perspectives of women concerning home births to describe the underlying motivations behind their choices, their perceptions of the associated risks and benefits, and their stance on the “no home-birthing policy” of the state.
Subjects and Method: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study involving 80 mothers drawn from Malangas, Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines through a referral-based sampling method. The study examined sociodemographic characteristics as independent variables, while dependent variables included perceived reasons for home birth preference, associated risks and benefits, and respondents' views on the "no home-birthing" policy. Data were described in descriptive statistics.
Results: The findings showed that the inclination of women toward giving birth at home without the presence of professional birth attendants emanates from a multitude of factors. These include economic considerations, the sense of a familiar and comfortable environment, deeply rooted cultural beliefs, challenges related to accessibility to health facilities, and geographical impediments. Notwithstanding the inherent health risks, women opt for home births due to cost considerations, improved accessibility, and as a means of expressing their cultural and personal convictions. Consequently, the "no home-birthing policy" implemented in the Philippines is seen to reflect an effort to safeguard maternal and neonatal health by promoting facility-based deliveries.
Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of developing a holistic healthcare strategy that harmonizes women's autonomy and cultural practices with the crucial goal of ensuring safe childbirth, especially in marginalized areas.

Authors: Alj Zakaria , Bouayad Anas
Published: July 2024

This systematic review investigates the effectiveness of motivational strategies on learner engagement and retention rates in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we analyzed 140 studies published between 2014 and 2023 from key academic databases. The objective was to identify and evaluate motivational strategies that significantly reduce MOOC dropout rates. Our findings reveal that personalized learning, interactive content, and peer collaboration are strongly correlated with increased learner engagement and persistence. These strategies align well with learners' intrinsic goals, enhancing their educational experience and adherence to courses. The review also identifies gaps, such as the need for longitudinal studies and culturally tailored motivational strategies, offering a refined agenda for future research in MOOC education. This study contributes to the field by systematically synthesizing existing research, providing new insights into effective educational strategies, and highlighting areas for improvement in MOOC design and implementation. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-SIED1-08 Full Text: PDF
THE LEFT TURN IN G.P. FEDOTOV’S CONSERVATIVE THOUGHT
Authors: Domninskii Pavel A. ,   Saint Petersburg State University
Published: July 2024

The article is about an issue of combining two political vectors, conservative (right) and revolutionary (left) in the works of G.P. Fedotov. The research focus of the paper is on the philosophical anthropology of the Russian thinker. The author suggests considering the figure of the subject, which is the point from which the divergent political lines originate. G.P. Fedotov describes person in the interpretation of Christian anthropology, where the essential features are connection with the divine and rootedness in the historical. In such a system, the conservative position is associated with the protection of the individual from any encroachments by the “other”, whether it is the arbitrariness of the revolutionary crowd or the rigid organization of the pro-fascist states of Europe in the first half of the 20th century. The position of the revolutionary vector, traditionally associated with the left movement, is of a liberating nature, the source of which G.P. Fedotov also founds in the Christian anthropology. The category of alienation plays an important role in this case, both in the Hegelian interpretation (objectification of the world) and in the Marxist interpretation. Overcoming alienation by a historical subject in various variations is the conceptual point at which both the right and left political vectors converge.
THE TERMS “SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION” AND “ELECTRONIC SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL DOCUMENT”. WITH REGARD TO THE DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPTS
Authors: Kyung Pavel A. ,   All-Russian Scientific and Research Institute for Records and Archives management
Published: July 2024

Archiving research of scientific and technical documentation is traditionally is considered in scientific and methodological works, as well as training courses as an equal part of general archival studies. But at the same time, the definition of the term “scientific and technical documentation” has not been fixed yet in the regulatory documents, in historiography, as well as in the terminological standards, where we observe different interpretations of this term. Obviously, the main issue in defining the term “scientific and technical documentation” is its cross-system nature, and likewise its polysemantic use in various fields of science. It is typical that different methodological documents and draft regulations include different documentation systems in this concept. At the same time, the terms “scientific and technical document”, “electronic scientific and technical document” are now actively used. The article analyzes the terminological controversies of the archival studies of scientific and technical documentation. The main issue considered by the author is the definition of the terms “scientific and technical documentation” and “electronic scientific and technical document”. The paper scrutinizes the history of the use of the terms, their historiography. The issues of the relationship between management documentation and scientific and technical documentation are also touched upon. The author of the article formulates and justifies the definitions of the terms “scientific and technical documentation”, “scientific and technical document”, “electronic scientific and technical document”.

The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation developed a list of documents generated in the course of its activities and the activities of its subordinate organizations in accordance with the Federal legislation and the instructions of the Government of the Russian Federation. This article presents approaches to drafting such a list of documents. The authors show how the current legislation to regulate the activities of higher educational institutions and scientific organizations for the preparation of that list is applied. Historical, comparative and technical legal methods were used as the main research ones. The article gives the historical overview of the adoption of such lists of documents in the USSR and Russia. Also, the authors review the cases of listing documents in some CIS countries. The technical legal method was used to illustrate the relationship between the content of the legal and regulatory statutes of the current legislation and the documents that are included in the draft list of the documents under development. Scientific and methodological approaches to the formation of a section in the list of the documents related to the implementation of educational activities are demonstrated as an outcome of the discussion. The discussion results were used to create a draft listing and can be used when compiling the lists of documents for specific subordinate organizations.
POTENTIAL OF GENETIC ALGORITHMS IN TASKS OF THE TERRITORY COVERAGE BY A GROUP OF UAVS
Authors: Faizullin Ramil F. ,   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University
Published: July 2024

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become key tools in automated area coverage tasks due to the fact that they are not limited by obstacles on the ground and are able to quickly complete tasks. However, when planning routes for UAVs covering an area, difficulties arise in finding optimal solutions due to the computational complexity of the problem. Therefore, when solving problems with a group of UAVs over large areas, heuristic algorithms are used to find coverage paths that are close to optimal. one popular algorithm for that is the genetic algorithm. The article studies the potential of using genetic algorithms in the context of solving the problem of covering an area using a group of UAVs. The article provides a review of methods for developing and optimizing modified genetic algorithms that take into account the unique features of the coverage problem. The characteristics of the genetic algorithm and the representation of chromosomes when solving the coverage problem are analyzed, depending on the different types of representation of territories. The article considers features of applying genetic operations to chromosomes that reflect the trajectory of the UAV, as well as the features of the task when working with a group of UAVs. In addition, it also discusses collision avoidance techniques in UAV swarm missions, their advantages and limitations.
Cognitive-epistemological, pragmatic, and psycholinguistic aspects of French interjections
Authors: Khaichevska Tetiana , Bondaruk Liudmyla , Rohach Oksana
Published: July 2024

Interjections as a lexical and grammatical category still belong to the interdisciplinary lacunae, as they require the concretization of interpretations in various aspects: terminological definitions, pragmatic functions, cognitive reception by a speaker, and an adequate reproduction by an addressee. Their functional capabilities to reflect and combine emotional and rational, verbal and non-verbal information in communication are significant. Interjections are closely related to a speech act, the mental characteristics of its participants, verbal and non-verbal means of communication, context, and objective reality. The current study aims to analyze the determinative interpretations and lexical and grammatical structures of interjections as a universal category used for determining communicative and pragmatic functions. A part of the psychological epic In Search of Lost Time/“A la recherche du temps perdu” – “Albertine Disappears” (“Albertine Disparue”) by Marcel Proust (1925) serves as a research material. Interjections, as a universal category, hold a prominent place in the lexical and grammatical system of languages. As a result of conducted quantitative analysis of interjections, the most common interjections discovered in the studied literary French-language text were one-word interjections, ‘oh!’ ‘ah!’, and ‘hélas!’, which, depending on the author’s illocutionary intention, their pragmatic function, as well as their position in the remark - at the beginning, in the middle or at the end - can create a range of meanings according to their emotional effect, such as hope, disappointment, doubt, embarrassment, confirmation, denial, request or call to action. Conversely, the texts frequently comprise interjection phrases that convey the processes of reflection on the inner experiences of a particular character and their psychological state. This, in turn, reveals the process of their personality development.

Adding synesthetic metaphors in English-Ukrainian translations of fiction
Authors: Zhulavska Olha , Kulish Vladyslava , Chernyk Maryna
Published: July 2024

This article combines analytical tools of cognitive translation analysis and affordances of corpus linguistics to inquire into the translation procedure of adding synesthetic metaphoric descriptions in English-Ukrainian translations of fiction. The research is based on 40 examples of addition, extracted manually from Ukrainian translations of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, The Hours by Michael Cunningham, and The Secret History and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. All the 40 synesthetic metaphoric descriptions introduced into Ukrainian translations correspond to the source-text non-metaphoric descriptions, though in theory, added synesthetic metaphors could refer to a point in the original where there is no text at all. All of the added synesthetic metaphoric descriptions are based on the TOUCH source domain, which supports Ullmann’s (1957) claim that TOUCH, being the most accessible sensory mode, is a predominant source of cross-sensory transfer. Analysis of results suggests that the translators’ choice to add synesthetic metaphoric descriptions to the target text is influenced by the higher conventionality degree of such descriptions compared to that of the direct non-metaphoric translation equivalents of the non-metaphoric source-text material.

Analysis of effluent from caustic treatment plants: Improvement of accuracy in the simultaneous potentiometric determination of sulfide and mercaptide ions
Authors: Reboucas Marcio V. , G. Massa Ana Rosa C. , Vinicio Assis Marcos
Published: July 2024

Potentiometric titration using silver nitrate for determination of sulfide and mercaptide ions, as defined by the UOP Method 209, has been widely used for quality control of Spent Caustic Neutralization Unit in petroleum industries. However, it has been found this procedure does not provide accurate results for samples taken from units based on Wet Air Oxidation (WAO) technology. Therefore, possible sources of error, such as concominant species, between-analytes interference and titration solvent, were investigated and adjustments in the method were proposed. Aqueous media should be used to prepare the titration solution instead of the recommended alcoholic solvent which was found to be related to the quite low analyte recoveries in WAO unit samples. The modified method can be successfully applied to samples with different chemical compositions which is the main advantage over the reference procedure. Limit of detection and relative standard deviation of 0,5 mg.L-1 and 5,2% for sulfide and 0,6 mg.L-1 and 5,5% for mercaptide were achieved.
Implementation of Pancasila Learner Profile-Based Attitude Assessment in Junior High School Civics Study Field Based on Phase D in the Independent Curriculum Era
Authors: Brata Diah Puji Nali
Published: July 2024

Indonesia's education system is facing numerous challenges due to the rapid development of information and communication technology, resulting in students being perceived as less empathetic and less skilled in addressing social issues. The Pancasila Student Profile is a policy by the Ministry of Education and Culture within the Merdeka Curriculum to strengthen national character. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Civics subjects, the attitude assessment models, and the supporting and inhibiting factors. The research employs a qualitative approach, with the subjects including the principal, curriculum vice-secretary, Civics teachers, and students. Data collection is conducted through source and technique triangulation, while data analysis involves data reduction, data display, and data verification. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Civics Curriculum has altered the concepts and meanings outlined in the teaching module; learning and assessment are now an integrated unit; the material's scope is more comprehensive according to the learning outcomes of four key elements (Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, Unity in Diversity, and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia) in phase D. The assessment model in the Merdeka Curriculum encompasses cognitive (formative, summative) and psychomotor (projects, practice, products) assessments as a unified whole. Attitude assessment is based on the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) strengthening program, with the selection of dimensions tailored to the objectives, subject matter, and the P5 theme set by the school. Daily assessments are the basis for the Pancasila Learner Profile-based attitude report card. Supporting factors include the synergy of the school community in implementing P5, while obstacles include some teachers' lack of understanding of the indicators in the six elements and sub-elements of the Pancasila Learner Profile, with assessments still being manual and done in Excel.
Description in the Biography "Snake Sand: Biography of Ketziot Anṣār Detainee 3" by Al-Mutawakkil Ṭāhā
Authors: Adwan Adwan Nimr , ‘Ammous Ayat Shafiq Saeed
Published: July 2024

This study aims to uncover the technique of description in the biography of Al-Mutawakkil Ṭāhā " Snake Sand: The Biography of Ketziot Anṣār Detainee 3," which served as a vivid example of creativity born from the crucible of suffering in the depths of prisons, the darkness of Israeli occupation cells. It examines how the description evolves from one scene to another based on the psychological state endured by the author and the detainees.
Research Problem: The biography was written under difficult conditions that differ from those of other literary works, conditions experienced by the prisoner in the darkness of cells, which imbue it with unique psychological dimensions, harsh challenges, and aesthetic illuminations. All of this is accomplished through the use of descriptive techniques to establish time and place settings, present characters, and capture actions, visions, dreams, and marvels.
The research used a descriptive-analytical methodology to study the description and its manifestations in Al-Mutawakkil's biography. It yields several key findings, including:
The author focused on describing the oppressions of the occupier in the setting represented by their confinement in desert prisons, turning these places into hostile territories. The prison became a place that shackled the author, physically and psychologically, confining them to a specific spot within it, devoid of the freedom to move even between different sections of the prison. The author emphasized describing antagonistic places, such as detention centers and prisons, while also highlighting attempts to adapt and humanize them.
Terminological Definitions in Mahmoud Abdel-Moneim's "Lexicon of Jurisprudential Terms and Expressions": A Study of Sale Terms
Authors: Albarakat Mohammad Jamal Khalaf
Published: July 2024

Terminology serves as a conduit to knowledge, and understanding the essence of a term is unattainable without delving into its definition, which elucidates its meaning, acting as a conceptual counterpart to the term itself within the framework of a conceptual triangle analogous to Ogden and Richards' semantic triangle. Specialized lexicography fundamentally relies on terminological definition influenced by logical universals, focusing on concepts rather than objects, distinct from traditional logical definitions. It transitions from concept to term, establishing concepts through consensual definitions. This study, is to the researcher's knowledge the first of its kind to analyze Mahmoud Abdel-Moneim's "Lexicon of Jurisprudential Terms and Expressions," aims to uncover the foundational principles of definition employed within, along with its lexicographical influences such as arrangement and the nature of terms from simplicity to complexity. The researcher's methodology involves analyzing a selection of definitions from the lexicon to extract the employed definitional techniques."Lexicon of Jurisprudential Terms and Expressions" stands out as a modern specialized dictionary focusing exclusively on jurisprudence among other Islamic Sharia sciences, distinguishing it from other jurisprudential dictionaries that may focus on a specific jurisprudential book or jurist, or those that amalgamate jurisprudential terms with terms from various other fields. Moreover, the lexicon is characterized by its inclusivity of various jurisprudential schools without adherence to a specific one, offering comprehensive explanations, making it a valuable resource for researchers in jurisprudential terminology, whether specialized in jurisprudence or other fields.
The Chromatic Awareness of Black and White in Andalusian and Omani Poetry: Ibn Khafaja and Sulaiman al-Nabhani as a Model
Authors: Al-Ghusaini Zahir B. , Al Hadhrami Idris A.
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the nuanced perception of black and white colors within the realm of Andalusian and Omani poetry, focusing on the works of Ibn Khafaja and Sulaiman bin Muzaffar al-Nabhani. It aims to uncover the depth of these poets' engagement with color, examining how they utilize black and white to articulate their personal dilemmas and psychological intricacies that surface through their poetic expressions. This exploration is anchored in the belief that color serves as a versatile poetic motif, with the poetic rendition of color experiences offering a reconstitution of reality tailored by the poets' psychological states, thereby rendering color projection as a means of catharsis. Employing Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory as its foundational methodology, this research probes into the unconscious elements of poetic creation, viewing it as a vehicle for expressing the suppressed aspects of the human psyche. The selection of black and white, predominant in the poets' anthologies, facilitates an exploration of diverse psychological and existential experiences, necessitating an analysis of color within poetry through its contextual integration to unveil its expressive and functional potency.
