The Fallacies of Bridging the East and West in Tayeb Salih’s 'Season of Migration to the North' and Laila Halaby’s 'Once in a Promised Land'
Authors: Al-Shara Zaydun Ali
Published: August 2023

Objectives: The paper examines the role of two contemporary Arab novelists, Tayeb Salih and Laila Halaby, who depict the fallacies of bridging the East and West. Salih’s Season of Migration to the North (1966) and Halaby’s Once in a Promised Land (2007) tackle the social, cultural, political, historical, and religious factors and obstacles that resulted in widening the gap between the East and West. The aim of this study is to also trace how Salih’s and Halaby’s characters' attitudes towards this harmony between both cultures develop throughout the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century.
Methods: This paper employs a socio-political and cultural approach to discuss the role of the contemporary Arab intellectual in presenting the possibility of bridging the cultural and humanitarian gap between the East and West.
Results: This study finds that there are two groups of Arab intellectuals: those haunted by violent memories of Western colonization, who are incapable of creating a harmonious relationship with the West, and the liberal Arab intellectuals who reflect a great readiness to assimilate into Western culture.
Conclusions: This study concludes that all attempts by these characters to create harmony between the East and the West are futile.
Verb “kana
Authors: Abughalia Ibraheem
Published: August 2023

This study addresses the verb “kana” in its confirmed form and it was not limited to what the grammarians mentioned in a few specific cases when “kana” is prefixed. It took a lot of effort from the grammarians to look into the permissibility of the prefix “kana” to work in the sentence, which makes them not study the confirmation connotation of “kana” in places other than what they have mentioned. 
Objectives: Establishing the origins of the confirmation connotation of “kana” and affirming its meaning in the sentence through different evidence, as well as demonstrating the different forms in which “Kana” can occur in its confirmative form.
Methods: The researcher followed the descriptive analytical approach as he described the confirmed “Kana” by mentioning its occurrence in Quranic verses and in Arabic poetry. He analyzed the phenomenon of “Kana” and comprehended its confirmative form.  
Results: In the cases where “Kana” can be discarded from the sentence and it still has a clear and correct meaning, its purpose is to confirm and it shouldn’t be restricted as a prefix to only the occurrences that were mentioned by the grammarians. “Kana” can be a confirmative prefix in different forms: Past “Kana” which confirms the past form of the verb; present “Yakoon” which confirms the past form of the verb; present “YAkoon” that confirms the present form of the verb; past “Kana” which confirms the noun; and present “YAkoon” which confirms the noun.
Conclusions: In this research, it was found that in many cases, “kana” comes confirmative in different cases. The researcher has cited many texts from the Holy Quran and Arabic poetry.  The researcher has also put a condition on “kana” as a prefix. The condition is if the meaning is clear and correct without “kana” and did not change its general connotation; “kana” comes confirmative, and it may have other connotations than the confirmation generated by the context.
Staff Approaches Towards Electronic Learning for Palestinian Higher Education Institutions During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Analytical Descriptive Study
Authors: Shunnar Samar , Sayeh Sarab
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This research aims to identify the trends of teaching staff towards e-learning in Palestinian higher education institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic, record their responses towards it, measure the quality of e-learning outcomes from their perspective, and anticipate future visions and mechanisms for developing this type of learning to meet their needs and expectations.

Methods:  The research adopted an analytical descriptive approach, which was deemed suitable for the problem at hand. Two tools, namely interviews and questionnaires, were utilized. The interviews targeted a sample of academic staff from various Palestinian universities, while the questionnaires were distributed among 214 academic staff members who were involved in the e-learning experiment during the pandemic, representing seven universities. 

Results: Notable findings indicated that staff members encountered numerous difficulties with e-learning, including the significant effort and time it required, as well as psychological and personal barriers. However, some positive aspects of e-learning emerged, such as the ability to record lectures for students to review at their convenience. Additionally, the study found that the quality of e-learning was lower compared to face-to-face learning.

Conclusions: The study provides several recommendations, with the most important one being that each Palestinian higher education institution should develop its own strategy encompassing a detailed and clear plan for e-learning during emergency situations.
The Impact of Iran's Nuclear Program on Iranian-American Relations (2010-2021)
Authors: Mahasneh Shera , Al-Mashaqbeh Amin
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This paper explores the relationship between Iran and the U.S., focusing on Iran's nuclear program. It examines how successive U.S. administrations have addressed the issue and analyzes the responses of newly elected Presidents of the U.S. and Iran, as well as the Prime Minister of Israel, to the ongoing Iran Nuclear Deal negotiations using an analytical approach.

Methods: The study employs an analytical methodology derived from the fields of political and social sciences, moving beyond traditional approaches in international relations.

Results: The paper argues that Iran's development and acquisition of nuclear weapons, as a regional power, pose a direct threat to regional stability and may trigger a nuclear arms race. The interests of the U.S. and its allies in the region would also be endangered.

Conclusions: The paper concludes that both Washington and Tehran should reach a mutually beneficial agreement to maintain regional power balance and prevent the potential for an arms race, especially with the seventh round of negotiations approaching. As Iran pursues destabilizing regional ambitions in the Middle East, posing a strategic threat to U.S. interests and allies, the U.S. should reassess its Middle East policy to ensure that Iran does not exploit sanctions relief and its remaining nuclear energy capacity to expand its revolutionary agenda throughout the region.

The architectural design of the holy shrines
Authors: Hashem Hassan Al-Musawi Sadiq , Hashem Fadawi Muhammad
Published: August 2023

As an architectural philosophical concept, Islamic architecture cannot be considered arches, doors, domes and lighthouses, since Islamic architecture is based on a structural system of religious, mental, philosophical and logical origins and beliefs shared by the arts, technology and the requirements of the surrounding environment. Rather, the architectural designer's distance from it becomes as if it is for people not from this world, and Islamic architecture is not abbreviated on the heritage side as much as it is a renewed "modern" state, dealing with the concepts of Islam that are valid for every time and place. This can be seen through the mechanisms that produced heritage architecture and what was built on it, which is not a simulation of forms without contents. Islamic architecture is the result of Islamic thought in the areas it reached, as it was logical that the Islamic architectural characteristics were greatly influenced by the beliefs and adopters of the Islamic religion and the scientific renaissance that followed. The difference between one region and another is based, for example, on the factors of climate, weather and the previous architectural cultural heritage in the areas where Islam has reached. For example, the open courtyard is spread in Iraq, the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula, while it disappeared in Turkey and other northern regions that Islam reached as a result of the cold atmosphere in the first and the architectural heritage in the second. There is no doubt that the impact of natural manifestations and their temporal and spatial requirements for architectural structures has had a great role in the search for the truth inherent in their expressive means through knowledge of architectural manifestations in Islamic countries, because the birth of theories and their adoption in the formation of architectural forms is not due to criticism of previous theories. Rather, due to the urgent need to provide a new diversification in forms compatible with the surrounding environmental diversity, and the outcome of the above, the naturalization of constructive relations in architecture and art starts according to the techniques and methods of achievement, which use the expressive and subjective aspect in reference to the exclusion of the natural phenomenon, a feature that has represented the common denominator of architectural genres over the ages. It is the one that strengthened its internal construction in order to find a visual equivalent based on the architectural geometric form used in mosques and holy shrines
The aesthetic effect of vocal recitation in building the theatrical image
Authors: Imran Musa Kazem
Published: August 2023

Between the duality of sound and image, the completeness of the actor’s personality at the director comes to announce the birth of the appropriate theatrical role for that character as the basic and inherent element of the artwork, within his working system in the pattern of vocal behavior as well as motor/signal behavior as he searches for aesthetic and skill proficiency at the same time.This is done through the viewer’s relationship with the theatrical event, which the director considers as an area of active creative activity in relation to (the work of the actor) through vocal recitation and the signs it broadcasts in order to fulfill the requirements of the dramatic situation and what it requires of a visual vision drawn in the form of an integrated and clear artistic image of the role with a collective understanding. Therefore, the actor had to master the art of speaking just as he mastered his control of movements and gestures, as well as recitation, chanting, screams and singing accompanied by music.Therefore, this research came to address this study through two important topics, namely:First: the concept of recitation and the study of its theatrical methods.Second: Directorial treatments for diction in building the theatrical image.Through them, the researcher reached several important results that highlighted the most important aesthetic aspects of the theatrical discourse, which the director dealt with in order to fit and harmonize between the vocal aspect and the visual aspect of the theatrical performance.Including: First: The recitation is the extension of the sound in the place, and the artistic expanse it carries that plays the informative mediator between the ideas, desires and motives that the director works to achieve, to produce his dramatic images with different interpretations.And secondly: - The aesthetic effect of vocal recitation in the artwork is represented as a tool for transforming the manifestations of the show and contributing to its visual construction, leading to a social reading that allows decoding the symbols and codes of the theatrical show.Third: - These skills have theoretical foundations and rules that contribute to the completion of the actor who proceeds to continue training on them permanently

Perspectiva decolonial
Authors: Belém Elisa
Published: August 2023

O ensaio apresenta uma breve revisão da história do teatro brasileiro, indicando a presença de artistas negros e negras durante o período da colonização. Ao longo do processo de modernização da cena, tais artistas negros foram excluídos dos palcos. Ao rever a historiografia, percebe-se que o teatro negro também foi pouco mencionado por críticos. Nas últimas décadas, vem ocorrendo um movimento por representatividade e igualdade, trazendo o teatro negro para a pauta dos debates e do ensino. Indica-se que é preciso que o teatro negro ocupe o currículo escolar de Artes, da Educação Básica e dos cursos do Ensino Superior na área de teatro.

Regulation of Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation and Immunity via Targeting Autophagic Process Using siRNA Antagonist Atg-5 in MCF-7 Cells.
Authors: Alian Amira , Guirgis Adel A. , Khalil Hany
Published: August 2023

Background: Breast cancer initiates when normal breast epithelial cells begin to replicate unusually. These cells divide more rapidly than normal cells and continue to be accumulated and formed a lump or mass. Cells may migrate (metastasis stage) from breast tissues to lymph nodes or other human body parts. Cellular autophagy is one of the most critical mechanisms in breast cancer development. Autophagy plays a dual function as a tumor support process or suppressor mechanism. Accordingly, we aimed to highlight the molecular role of autophagy in breast cancer development and cancer therapy using RNA interference (RNAi). 

Material and Methods: MCF-7 cell line was used to investigate the direct connection between breast cancer and the autophagy pathway using a respective siRNA antagonist, Atg-5. 

Results: MCF-7 cell morphology was markedly influenced by transfection with siRNA antagonist Atg-5 compared with control-transfected and untreated cells. Likewise, the number of liPleving MCF-7 cells reduced in transfected cells with siRNA that antagonist ATG-5, while the relative lactate dehydrogenates (LDH) production significantly increased compared with control-transfected cells. Notably, the knockdown efficiency of Atg-5 gene expression was almost 60% inhibition when the MCF-7 was transfected with the siRNA antagonist Atg-5. Furthermore, the relative gene expression of interleukin -8 (IL-8) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) downregulated in response to depleted Atg-5 in transfected cells. 

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that downregulation of Atg-5 leads to sufficient disturbance of autophagic machinery and subsequently regulates breast cancer cell proliferation.

from class 7, 8, 9 and 10 included in study, total 239 students from urban schools of Jabalpur were included. Anthropometric assessment was done
by measuring weight, height and then BMI (Body Mass Index) was calculated. BMI charted on WHO chart. All the factors present in life style of
urban students like dietary factors (outside eating, sugar beverages consumption, snacks/junk food, food advertisement), mode of travel to school
and sleep analyzed statistically. Results: 54.4% of students were overweight/obese .Urban lifestyle factors like frequency of outside eating with
family, sugar beverages consumption from market, snacks and junk food , food advertisements, mode of travel to school, interval between dinner
and sleep, found statistically signicant . Conclusion: This study in urban environment suggest that outside eating with family, sugar beverages
consumption from market , snacks and junk food ,food advertisements, mode of travel to school ,interval between dinner and sleep , are associated
with overweight/obesity risk. These ndings require follow up in longitudinal studies with more number of subjects and different settings other
than schools.
PRACTICALITY OF COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION IN CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS AND AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER IN INDIAN SCENARIO- CASE REPORT.
Authors: Sebastian Swapna , Jasper Paul
Published: August 2023

With implementation of new born hearing screening, the age of diagnosis for hearing loss and cochlear implantation age in children has been
reduced to 9 months of age by recent FDAcriteria. Benets of early identication and rehabilitation of hearing loss is valuable. But we also need to
be aware of the fact that there are chances of missing the diagnosis of other childhood communication disorders like Autism if manifested along
with hearing loss, the reasons being the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder as given by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM V) may not be
picked up earlier than two years and also because of diagnostic overshadowing .Some of the symptoms of autism such as deciency of language,
lack of attention, lack of eye contact and clumsiness can be mistaken as symptoms of hearing impairment. This report describes the case study of a
4-year-old female child with hearing loss and autism who was evaluated by a multidisciplinary team of professionals. We call attention to the
expected outcome, the need to counsel the caretakers regarding expected outcome, type of therapy and the need for a multidisciplinary team
regarding candidacy for CI, continuous support for behavioral management and assessment of outcomes.

Scoliosis is dened as a structural deformity of the spine in all three dimensions and diagnosed if the Cobb angle is ≥10 degrees. Scoliosis may be
associated in upto 48% cases of spondylolisthesis, being more commonly encountered in high grade listhesis (>50% slip) and is often seen in
dysplastic types. We are reporting a case of a 12 year old premenarchal female with progressive deformity of back and chest for 10 months
associated with back and leg pain. Radiographs revealed grade 4 dysplastic spondylolysthesis with a long C shaped curve (King type 4) with left
convexity. Reduction of lysthesis and instrumented fusion from L4 to S1 was performed. Post operatively there was immediate correction of
scoliosis with resolution of clinical symptoms. Knowledge about olisthetic scoliosis helps in early identication of patients with scoliosis caused
by spondylolisthesis, who require surgery only for the latter condition, avoiding unnecessary surgery for scoliosis.

TO STUDY THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE GENERAL HEALTH, WELLBEING (SWLS) AND TYPES OF STRESSORS, SOCIAL SUPPORT, COPING STRATEGIES AMONG PARENTS OF MR, CPAND HEALTHY CHILDREN
Authors: Rai Ashok , Gopal S.
Published: August 2023

Background: Parenting a disabled child is a busy, demanding job that can cause some parents to become maladjusted. Parental stress is mostly
caused by the existence, care, and raising of a mentally handicapped child in the family, which poses a risk to the parents' mental health. Objective:
To examine and compare the family stress, social support, coping strategies and general health and well-being (SWLS) of mothers and fathers of
MR, CP and healthy children. Materials and Method: From the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy and Handicapped Children, Varanasi, 300
parents of children with mental retardation, cerebral palsy (CP), and normal healthy children were chosen. Only parents of children between the
ages of 0 and 18 were allowed to participate in this study. These parents gave their consent after we informed them about the typed questionnaires.
Result: The result of the study shows that with increasing the level of family stress, the subjective well-being of individual is decreased and the
general mental health of individual is also impaired. With increasing the social support, family stress of the individual decreases, general mental
health of individual improves and the subjective well-being of an individual also improves.With increase in coping, the subjective well-being of an
individual improves and general mental health of individual also improves. Conclusion: This study will be useful for managing the responsibility
of raising disabled children on a national basis, and comprehensive support services for mothers must be offered in order to preserve their
psychological and physical health.

Published: August 2023

Background: In recent years, a decline in the rate of operative vaginal delivery and increase in stage second cesarean sections has been noted. In
addition to being technically more challenging than cesarean sections done during rst stage, maternal and fetal complications are greater as the
head may be deeply impacted in the pelvis, liquor is less and lower uterine segment is thinner. Aretrospective cross-sectional study was conducted
by collecting data from birth registries and hospital records. Materials and Methods:Atotal of 58 cases of cesarean sections at full dilatation were
performed during this period which was analyzed. Out of 58 patients, 44(75.9%) were primigravida and 14(24.1%) were multigravida. The mean
age of study population was 28.33 ranging from 20 to 38 years. Majority of patients were in ≥25 and < 30 year age group. Results: Maternal
complications in the form of intraoperative hemorrhagic urine was found in 8(13.8%), extension of uterine incision in 2(3.4%), postpartum
hemorrhage in 8(13.8%), postoperative fever in 8(13.8%), distension in 12(20.7%), prolonged catheterization in 21(36.2%), prolonged
hospitalization in 12(20.7%) Neonatal complications in the form of Meconium stained liquour was found in 13(22.4%) , APGAR score <5 in
3(5.2%), NICU admission in 5(8.6%) and fresh stillbirth in 1(1.7%).Conclusion: In this study, the most common intraoperative maternal
complication noted was hemorrhagic urine (13.8%) and postpartum hemorrhage (13.8%). The most common neonatal complication was
meconium stained liquor (22.4%).Various steps can be taken to decrease rate of second stage cesarean sections which include proper monitoring of
labor by partograph, detection of malpositions early in labor, proper referral system in periphery, increasing accountability by regular audit of
second stage caesarean sections and proper counseling of patient and attendants.

Published: August 2023

Fifty years old female presented with cervical lymphadenopathy, headache, and weight loss for 2 weeks. On examination, she had purpuric spots. Investigations revealed erroneous counts revealing interference by cryoglobulin. Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma was suspected because of cryoglobulin interference, purpuric spots, and lymphadenopathy. The lymph node showed atypical small lymphocytes admixed with plasma cells. The cells were positive for CD45, CD20, CD79a, PAX-5, MUM-1 & Kappa conrmed the diagnosis. Careful evaluation of histogram and scatterogram in a patient with leukocytosis indicated interference by cryoglobulin, which leads to further investigation. The pathologist is responsible for differentiating spurious leukocytosis from leukocytosis so the underlying condition can be diagnosed and managed.
