Entanglement-enhanced test proposal for local Lorentz-symmetry violation via spinor atoms
Authors: Zhuang Min , Huang Jiahao , Lee Chaohong
Published: November 2022

Invariance under Lorentz transformations is fundamental to both the standard model and general relativity. Testing Lorentz-symmetry violation (LSV) via atomic systems attracts extensive interests in both theory and experiment. In several test proposals, the LSV violation effects are described as a local interaction and the corresponding test precision can asymptotically reach the Heisenberg limit via increasing quantum Fisher information (QFI), but the limited resolution of collective observables prevents the detection of large QFI. Here, we propose a multimode many-body quantum interferometry for testing the LSV parameter κ via an ensemble of spinor atoms. By employing an N-atom multimode GHZ state, the test precision can attain the Heisenberg limit Δκ∝1/(F2N) with the spin length F and the atom number N. We find a realistic observable (i.e. practical measurement process) to achieve the ultimate precision and analyze the LSV test via an experimentally accessible three-mode interferometry with Bose condensed spin-1 atoms for example. By selecting suitable input states and unitary recombination operation, the LSV parameter κ can be extracted via realizable population measurement. Especially, the measurement precision of the LSV parameter κ can beat the standard quantum limit and even approach the Heisenberg limit via spin mixing dynamics or driving through quantum phase transitions. Moreover, the scheme is robust against nonadiabatic effect and detection noise. Our test scheme may open up a feasible way for a drastic improvement of the LSV tests with atomic systems and provide an alternative application of multi-particle entangled states.

Social Typologies of Creative Practices
Authors: Gavra D. P. , Bayer Ju. Р.
Published: November 2022

In this article, the authors structure and significantly expand the theory of the typology of creative practices. The authors offer two groups of grounds for constructing a typology of creativity. The first group is socialization. Under the socialization foundations of creativity, the authors understand a set of social factors that contribute to or hinder the process of socialization of an individual as a subject of creative practices. The authors talk about socialization factors that contribute to and hinder the realization of creative potential and, accordingly, introduce new concepts, such as socialization harmonious (laminar, favorable) and socialization conflict (turbulent, unfavorable) creativity. The authors also distinguish the second group of grounds for the typology of creativity, namely, the factors of the social and political environment external to the creative subject. So, two types of realization of creative potential are distinguished, the authors designate them as societally favorable and societally unfavorable. As a result, the authors propose a three-dimensional typology of social trajectories of subjects of creative potential — creative social trajectories. The authors also propose a classification of creative potential according to the parameters of profile — non-core. The profile creative potential of an individual or group social subject is understood as the potential realized in the field of the main profile of his professional activity. Accordingly, non-core potential is realized either in leisure practices or in professional practices that are not related to the main profile of the subject’s professional activity. Based on the criterion of the nature of innovation contained in a creative product, the authors introduce a typological division into conformal and non-conformal/radical creativity. The concept of individual and group creativity is also introduced, the concepts of individual and group creative potential are described as well.

Authors: Petrova P. M.
Published: November 2022

This research article discusses national and regional strategic instruments to counteract the contingency period in the real estate market. A contingency period refers to a period of unreasonable price increases in the market, characterized by excessive investment due to long-term speculative expectations of investors.

   The aim of the study is to identify the most effective strategic means of counteracting various phases of the contingency period in the regional real estate market.

   The theoretical basis of the article is primarily strategy theory and strategizing methodology of Doctor of Economics, Professor V. L. Kvint. As a result of the analysis of possible national and regional strategic decisions affecting the real estate market during the contingency period, the most effective in the author’s opinion were selected. The arguments presented in the article underscore the need to establish effective systems for identifying signs of the occurrence of the contingency period, as well as for evaluating different scenarios of the functioning of the economic system during that period and for exiting from it.

The Image of the Modern Regional Leader: Network Analysis Results
Authors: Kaminchenko D. I.
Published: November 2022

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the process of political communication in the conditions of networkization of public space. The sign-symbolic level of political communication is considered on the example of the content-semantic filling of the image of a regional political leader.   The purpose of this research is to analyze the content of the political image of the leader and to identify the presence or absence of manifestation of the effect of networking in it.

   The objectives of the study are to study the goals, the principles of their implementation and the features of communication with other representatives of power and society, which are presented in the content of the image of a political leader.   The study uses a set of empirical methods, including non-directional quantitative content-analysis, network data analysis and linguistic analysis. The results of the content analysis are displayed on the tag cloud, and the results of the network analysis are displayed on the thematic graph. The theoretical basis of the study was the theory of the information society and such concepts as “image”, “image-role construct”. According to the results of the study of the text array, which included two large, detailed interviews with the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region G. S. Nikitin in 2019 and 2020, it was concluded that one of the most common image-role constructs in an interview in 2019 were the following: “leader-industrialist” (aimed at the development of industrial production); “leader-builder” (in particular, he is ready to develop the construction industry of the region); “leader-organizer” (open to new projects and challenges, focused on the successful organization and holding of festive events dedicated to the anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod), “leader-athlete” (advocates for the development of sports in the region). The most common image-role construct in an interview in 2020 was such a meaningful and semantic construct as “leader-manager” (an effective manager who manages the region by coordinating actions with various structural divisions of the government and municipalities). Based on the results of a generalizing analysis, the conclusion was drawn that in the content of the image of a political leader, there was a certain change in the manifestation of the effect of networkization from the polythematic and heterarchy of key topics (in 2019) to the decentralization of the symbolic subject of decision-making and implementation (in 2020).

Ph.d.
Authors: Honey B. Beckerlee
Published: November 2022

Honey Biba Beckerlees practice based PhD Digital Matters situates itself in the paradox between, on the one hand, the culturally wide spread assumption that cyberspace is bodyless and the internet is immaterial, while on the other hand the overconsumption of energy and the extraction, distribution and transformation of massive land masses in the consumption of raw materials in digital technologies, which end up as great amounts of toxic electronic waste and recently has given us an outlook to the depletion of several chemical elements.

The project seeks to find new understandings of - and ways of relating to the digital, by drawing on post-human and more-than-human perspectives on the technology. Inspired by feminist versions of quantum mechanics and (new) materialism, that question classic distinctions between mind/body, immaterial/physical and ultimately what can be considered living and not living, this practice-based research project seeks to make art works that take the body and the plastic resources back into the center of an understanding of the technology.

Through a method of intra-action inspired by Karen Barad, the project aims to make artistic experiments that facilitate new materials, forms of expression and processes with digital raw materials. From a notion of distributed agency the project asks: What new ways of cognitive comprehension lies in taking into consideration the entanglements between people and technology by tracing how chemical elements travel from nature into computers and humans? How is our understanding of an extremely temporary technology if we consider it in a perspective of deep time through the journey of minerals over thousands of years? Can one develop a new sensibility towards digital technology through art, that takes finitude into consideration?
The hypertext of a news item through the prism of media linguistics
Authors: Duskajeva Lilija , Ivanova Lyubov
Published: November 2022

This paper analyzes the hypermedia text of a news item by means of media
linguistic analysis. The heuristic value of an interdisciplinary approach
underlying media linguistic analysis consists primarily in the allocation of
units suitable for the analysis of media communication. These units are the
result of an activity-based delimitation of the speech flow, consisting of
professional mass media speech and non-professional one, i.e. online group
dialogues. The analysis reveals a smooth transition from professional, i.e.
socio-oriented communication, to non-professional, i.e. personalityoriented
communication. The latter type of communication is a polylogue, which is
engendered in the form of comments in response to published news. The
analysis confirms our data obtained earlier, as well as those of other
researchers who present the hypermedia news in the form of a wave that
includes several periods due to uneven activity in the receipt of messages.
In accordance with the dominant modality in the texts, these periods are
divided into those of reporting, evaluation and stimulation.

Authors: Han Han , Wang Ying , Li Tongtong , Feng Chengwu , Kaliszewski Catherine , Su Yang , Wu Yinfan , Zhou Jian , Wang Liang , Zong Geng
Published: November 2022

  

Objectives: People with type 2 diabetes may have insufficient or prolonged sleep which could accelerate cardiovascular disease (CVD) onset, but existing evidence from prospective studies has been limited. We aimed to examine the association of sleep duration with CVD incidence and mortality in this high-risk population.

Research Design and Methods: This prospective study included 18,876 participants with type 2 diabetes who were free of CVD and cancer at baseline from the UK Biobank. Habitual sleep duration was obtained using a baseline questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to examine the association between sleep duration and CVD events.

Results: During an average follow-up of 11.0-12.0 years, we documented 2,570 incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) cases and 598 CVD deaths. Compared with sleeping for 7 h/day, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) of ≤5 and ≥10 h/day were 1.26 (1.08, 1.48) and 1.41 (1.16, 1.70) for incident ASCVD, 1.22 (0.99, 1.50) and 1.16 (0.88, 1.52) for coronary artery disease, 1.70 (1.23, 2.35) and 2.08 (1.44, 3.01) for ischemic stroke, 1.02 (0.72, 1.44) and 1.45 (1.01, 2.10) for peripheral artery disease, and 1.42 (1.02, 1.97) and 1.85 (1.30, 2.64) for CVD mortality. Similar results were observed in most sensitivity analyses that aimed to address potential reverse causation and in the joint analysis of sleep duration and metabolic control or diabetes severity status.

Conclusions: Our findings showed short and long sleep durations were independently associated with increased risks of CVD onset and death among people with type 2 diabetes. 
Mídias digitais no cenário contemporâneo e o papel da escola

Published: November 2022

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre o papel das mídias digitais como artefatos da cultura contemporânea que contribuem na agência de novas imagens sobre sujeitos e grupos sociais historicamente estigmatizados, atuando na restauração de um imaginário social que possibilite problematizar os discursos e imagens vigentes. São apresentados três casos onde é possível realizar uma leitura política da e com a mídia e que ajudam a promover uma ressignificação histórico-cultural em relação aos diferentes contextos que representam. Diante deste cenário, perguntamo-nos qual o papel da escola e trabalhamos com uma concepção de escola possível, aberta e participativa, assumindo uma posição de diálogo na comunidade onde está inserida e com os sujeitos que a frequentam.
Arte Negativa e Sequestros Dialéticos na Obra de Antonio Dias
Authors: Martins Luiz Renato
Published: November 2022

Desde os trabalhos de Winckelmann (1717-1768) e Herder (1744-1803) em meados do século 18, o universalismo, por um lado, e o nacionalismo, por outro, reivindicam a superioridade dos seus valores artísticos ante os do oponente. Embora remonte à era do Esclarecimento, a querelase desdobra ainda hoje pois em parte – de modo insciente e a despeito de seus próprios termos – reflete os ritmos e as consequências desiguais do processo de desenvolvimento sistêmico e globalmente combinado da modernização capitalista, em curso desde o mercantilismo. Assim, para aferir a persistência da querela, basta recordar da polêmica do pós-modernismo e do multiculturalismo contra a concepção do crítico de arte formalista norte-americano Clement Greenberg (1909-94) acerca do modernismo.Apesar do caráter acre e acirrado do confronto entre "universalistas" e "localistas," ambos os lados têm muito em comum e compartem por exemplo a noção de autonomia estética, fundada na crença da imunidade da forma estética ante a materialidade do processo histórico geral. Este trabalho não entrará nessa disputa, cujos argumentos são marcadamente anti-dialéticos de ambos os lados.

Authors: Pereira Ana Carolina Costa , Oliveira Gisele Pereira
Published: November 2022

Nos dois últimos anos, a educação vem passando por diversas mudanças, ocasionada pela pandemia do COVID-19 que forçou o ensino domiciliar potencializado pelos recursos tecnológicos. Nos cursos de formação de futuros professores também foram afetados, tendo que repensar disciplinas práticas que eram ministradas presencialmente, para um cenário digital que levaram ganhos e perdas. No caso dos cursos de licenciaturas em matemática, em especial, o situado na Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE), campus Itaperi, em Fortaleza no Ceará, essa realidade não foi diferente. Dessa forma, esse relato de experiência tem o intuito de apresentar as possibilidades didáticas do uso do GeoGebra em práticas laboratoriais na construção de conceitos geométricos por licenciandos em matemática da UECE. O enfoque é mostrar os materiais digitais construídos pelos discente e suas orientações metodológicas para a aplicação em uma aula a distância e/ou presencial dentro da disciplina de laboratório de ensino de geometria. Dessa forma, percebeu-se que o GeoGebra ultrapassa seu uso apenas com a ferramenta régua e compasso, e traz várias possibilidades como recurso didático para a confecção de jogos, quebra-cabeças e construção de simuladores.

Authors: Cunha Taís Morais Alves , de Souza Gustavo Mota Mascarenhas , Marinho Beatriz Araújo Lage , Leite Ana Luiza Coelho , Oliva Marcos Andrade
Published: November 2022

Introdução: O padrão Face Longa é uma deformidade facial com aumento da altura facial anterior. Nesse padrão, verifica-se incompetência labial com contração da musculatura perioral. O crescimento dentoalveolar vertical excessivo provoca exposição gengival durante o sorriso, o que constitui a principal queixa do paciente. A prevalência do padrão Face Longa varia de 1,5% a 14,6% na população adulta e aproximadamente metade desses pacientes necessitam de intervenção cirúrgica. Objetivo: relatar o caso clínico de paciente com padrão Face Longa severo tratado com a abordagem ortodôntico-cirúrgica. Métodos: Após um breve tratamento ortodôntico pré-cirúrgico, o paciente foi submetido à cirurgia ortognática. Foi realizada impacção maxilar de 10mm com rotação de plano oclusal e mentoplastia. A tecnologia digital, com imagens tridimensionais, foi aplicada para planejar o tratamento e imprimir guias cirúrgicas. Resultados: O tratamento promoveu selamento labial passivo com exposição gengival adequada no sorriso e um perfil facial reto. A paciente mostrou-se muito satisfeita com os resultados estéticos e funcionais. Conclusão: O tratamento orto-cirúrgico em pacientes com padrão de crescimento vertical é uma excelente alternativa para corrigir a desarmonia esquelética e melhorar a estética facial e do sorriso, além disso, promove forte impacto positivo na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. Essa abordagem, quando devidamente planejada por um profissional experiente e com o auxílio da tecnologia digital pode aumentar a previsibilidade e a estabilidade a longo prazo.

The periods of warming and cooling of the weather on Earth followed one another with great irregularity and caused significant variations in air temperature but allowed the existence of life and especially of the human species. In this paper we have analysed the variation of air temperature in Oltenia in the period 1961-2021. A number of our other works have analysed the variability of the climate in this part of Romania. After the warm period of 1945-1955, a gradual cooling of the weather followed in summers and during the period 1966-1984 (for 20 years). In summers, no thermal maximum of ≥40°C was registered. The period 2000-2021 (22 years) was the warmest of all the meteorological observations in Oltenia and many annual, monthly and daily climate records were surpassed. At the same time, during the analysed interval, the melting rate of the ice in the polar areas intensified a lot and exceptional thermal maxima were registered. The heat waves during the summers were more and more intense, more frequent and longer in duration. The paper is useful to all those interested in climate variability in Oltenia.

In the case of Cluj-Napoca Municipality, the analysis of the landslides is a frequently discussed topic due to its complex geology and urban expansion tendency. In this study, we chose the Gruia Neighbourhood in order to map the landslide evolution and land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes which occured between 2003 and 2021. In order to use the post-classification Change Detection method, we applied the supervised classification technique on three satellite imageries (2003, 2009, 2021), which were validated by high Kappa coefficient values, as it follows: 0,892, 0,879 and 0,931. Comparing the three classified imageries, we could conclude that a transition between agricultural land to urban areas is visible, with a total decrease of the agricultural land by 40,69% and a total increase of the urban area by 24,47%. In the evaluation process of the influence of the LULC change on the landslide evolution, we could observe that the increase of the urban areas led to the increase of the surface of the landslides, moreover, the slided territories on urban areas have increased by 200%.

The location of the Cuzdrioara Territorial Administrative Unit in the northern part of the Transylvanian Basin, at the meeting position of the Someșan Plateau and the Someșului Mare Corridor, indicates the existence of a fluvial relief. It is characterized by the presence of an alternation of valley passes and interfluvial passes, between which the connection is made through slopes. Their presence, to which are added the particularities of the geological substratum and land use, indicates the existence of some surfaces susceptible to landslides. To identify them, GIS techniques were used, which implied processing the existing information to obtain the map of landslide probability. It will be one of the necessary tools for the management of the hazardous phenomena created by landslides. At the same time, the information obtained can be used by decision-makers in the current and future urban planning actions.

El objetivo del trabajo fue establecer el comportamiento de aislamientos de E. coli resistentes a cefotaxima (CTX) y/o colistina, obtenidos de materia fecal de cerdos de la República Argentina, frente a antimicrobianos de importancia crítica para la salud pública. En 2018, se procesaron 56 muestras de 11 granjas localizadas en las provincias de Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa Fe y San Luis. Se obtuvieron 31 aislamientos resistentes a cefotaxima, 21 a colistina y 23 a ambos antimicrobianos. El 69 % de los aislamientos fue resistente a ácido nalidíxico y el 37,3 % a ciprofloxacina, antimicrobianos de máxima prioridad. No se aislaron E. coli resistentes a carbapenemes. Setenta y tres aislamientos se comportaron como multirresistentes, de los cuales el 50 % mostró resistencia frente a seis o siete grupos de antimicrobianos. La resistencia a cefalosporinas de tercera generación se relacionó principalmente con el gen CTX-M, particularmente con CTX-M-8/25, mientras que la resistencia a colistina se asoció con el gen mcr-1. De los resultados se desprende que existen cerdos en la República Argentina que portan E. coli con resistencia a múltiples antimicrobianos, incluyendo los de importancia crítica para medicina humana y veterinaria. Otros estudios complementarios permitirán determinar los clones de E. coli productores de ß-lactamasas de espectro extendido circulantes en granjas porcinas y su implicancia sobre la salud pública.

Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate and compare postoperative analgesic effects of grapiprant and carprofen in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy.

ANIMALS

42 sexually intact female healthy dogs (< 35 kg and 0.5 to 7 years old) were enrolled.

PROCEDURES

In a masked, randomized, noninferiority clinical trial, dogs received either 2 mg/kg of grapiprant or 4.4 mg/kg of carprofen orally 2 hours prior to ovariohysterectomy. Postoperative pain was assessed using the Glasgow Composite Pain Scale–Short Form (GCPS-SF) at extubation and 2, 4, 6, 8, 18, and 24 hours postextubation and compared to baseline. After each pain scoring, mechanical nociceptive testing with von Frey monofilaments (vF) was performed to assess hyperalgesia. Hydromorphone (0.05 mg/kg, IM) was administered to any dog with a GCPS-SF of ≥ 5/24. The noninferiority limit (NI) for the GCPS-SF was Δ = 3. The NI for vF was Δ = –0.2. Following noninferiority, a mixed-effect ANOVA and post hoc comparisons were made with the Tukey correction method (P < .05).

RESULTS

3 dogs required rescue analgesia and were excluded from statistical analysis. Of the remaining 39 dogs, the upper CI for GCPS-SF was below the NI of 3 and the lower CI for vF was greater than the NI of –0.2, indicating noninferiority of grapiprant as compared to carprofen. There was no difference between treatment (P = .89) nor treatment by time (P = .62) for GCPS-SF. There was no difference between groups at any time point or over time when vF were used.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Our study results support the use of grapiprant as an analgesic alternative to carprofen in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy.

known as “Global Britain in a competitive age”, may seem somewhat distant from the
globalized world of the 21st century and more appealing to the imperialist past of the
island nation, the truth can be far from that. Relations with the European Union may be
colder than what they used to be, but the world does not end with the Mediterranean or
the Urals. In this paper, I will attempt to answer the question regarding Britain’s place in
the world and whether or not it is capable of displaying power while taking advantage of
its old network of allies.

Meloxicam is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) given to humans and animals to treat inflammation that is most widely prescribed. The use of meloxicam that is not in accordance with the dose and in the long term will cause a toxic effect of meloxicam. Meloxicam can trigger oxidative stress and has a mechanism of inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis that can affect hormonal regulation and male reproduction. The purpose of this study was to analyze potential of (Moringa oleifera) leaf ethanol extract on sperm quality and testosterone hormone of male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced meloxicam. The design used was a (CRD) Completely Randomized Design consisting of three treatments and two controls with six replications. The treatment was given for 35 days. Meloxicam was given at a dose of 8,4 mg/kg body weight and moringa extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight/day (P1), 400 mg/kg body weight/day (P2), and 600 mg/kg body weight/day (P3). The results showed that moringa extract dose of 400 mg/kgBW and 600 mg/kgBW has the potential to increase reproductive organ weight, motility, spermatozoa viability, spermatozoa count, and increase testosterone levels significantly (P<0,05).

Authors: Muhammad Samah  Abdullah , Al-Dabbas Moutaz
Published: November 2022

The climate parameters annual rainfall and average mean temperature are investigated from 2000 to 2019 for Kut, Hilla and Iskandaryia. Evidence of climate change is noticed by decreasing the mean annual rainfall and relative humidity with an increase in the annual mean temperature. The climate water balance has been calculated. Due to high temperature, increased evaporation, and low precipitation rates, there was a large water deficit. The total water surplus in the Kut area is 32.86 mm from November to February, and in  Hilla and Iskandaryia is 20.4 and 27.8 mm from December to February, respectively. The climate classification for the three stations was semi-dry to dry climates. The region has a significant water deficit of up to 79.6 % of the total rainfall values indicated in Hilla station. Climate change has affected the locations near meteorological stations such as Kut, Hilla and Alexandria. All the studied climatic variables imprint water surplus or water deficit with slight changes within each geographical area.

Automated Methodology for Volume Fraction Measurement of Three Phase Steel Micrograph Using Image Processing Techniques
Authors: Banerjee Siddhartha
Published: November 2022

A quantitative description of microstructure governs the characteristics of the material. Various heat and excellent treatments reveal micro-structures when the material is prepared. Depending on the microstructure, mechanical properties like hardness, ductility, strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, etc., also vary. Microstructures are characterized by morphological features like volume fraction of different phases, particle size, etc. Relative volume fractions of the phases must be known to correlate with the mechanical properties. In this work, using image processing techniques, an automated scheme was presented to calculate relative volume fractions of the phases, namely Ferrite, Martensite, and Bainite, present in the microscopic image of high strength low alloy steel. First, the microscopic image was segmented into Ferrite, Martensite, and Bainite regions. The phase structure's geometric property was used to identify different phases present inside the micrograph. After phase detection, the volume fraction of each region is calculated.
El fortalecimiento institucional de la CNDH (1990-2018)
Authors: Coste Cacho Jacques
Published: November 2022

El artículo sostiene que, desde su creación en 1990 hasta 2018, la Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos se fortaleció gradualmente como institución encargada de la protección no jurisdiccional de los derechos fundamentales en México. Este fortalecimiento institucional se produjo por dos vías: una externa —reformas legales que le otorgaron mayor autonomía o facultades— y una interna, en la que enfoca este texto. El argumento central es que, cuando la Comisión hace pleno uso de sus facultades y autonomía, se dibuja un círculo virtuoso: una actuación en esa línea le brinda la posibilidad de utilizar la legitimidad social, la reserva reputacional y el posicionamiento sólido frente a otras instituciones en futuros casos de violaciones a derechos humanos. También se arguye que la coyuntura de los casos ante los que se pronuncia lo Comisión y los destinatarios de sus recomendaciones son de especial importancia. El proceso de fortalecimiento institucional desde adentro se potencia cuando la CNDH hace pleno uso de sus facultades en escenarios políticos espinosos y dirige sus exhortos a actores políticos que tienen un papel protagónico en el proyecto político del presidente mexicano en turno. Para sostener estos argumentos, se presentan cinco casos de estudio especialmente representativos. Al final, se exponen algunas reflexiones sobre la situación actual de la CNDH y la posibilidad de que la institución se debilite a sí misma desde adentro y por sus propios medios.

English as a Medium of Instruction: Exploring Benefits and Challenges in the 21st Century
Authors: Elkhayma Rachid
Published: November 2022

Language education has remarkably undergone a major shift since the advent of the communicative approach in the 1970s. As English has long become the world’s lingua franca, the approach to its teaching and learning has also witnessed an outstanding breakthrough. This is illustrated by the growing figures of non-native English language speakers that far exceed the native ones, and that entails a special status for English. Therefore, different proposals have been made as to how English should best be approached in teaching given its various characteristics as an international language for communication. One of these approaches is English as a medium of instruction (EMI). In this regard, and in their attempt to attain internationalization and develop the quality of higher education, many institutions in non-English speaking countries (e.g., Japan, China, Malaysia, Germany, etc.) have opted for the world’s first language as a means of instruction in various academic subjects, namely the science-related ones. This paper, then, is set to conceptualize and highlight the process of using English as a language of teaching and learning at the tertiary level, and explores its potential benefits and challenges for students and professors in the Moroccan higher educational context.
سنن التغالب وأثرها (دراسة قرآنية)
Authors: Zorao Mahmoud Nasser
Published: November 2022

إن موضوع سنن التغالب في غاية الدقة، وله مساحة واسعة في الاهتمام والتطبيق، وله أهمية قصوى في نتائج الاعمال والمسؤولية التي يتبناها الإنسان بصورة عامة في الحياة، وذلك لأن مراتب الفوز والنجاح لا تنال بلا ثمن ولا جهاد، هذه هي فلسفة البقاء بمعناها الواسع الشامل، وليس البقاء كما يظن الكثيرون أنه مجرد أن يبقى الانسان على قيد الحياة .
 تناولت موضوع البحث من خلال مبحثين ولكل منهما مطلبين، وكالآتي:
المبحث الأول: مفهوم سنن التغالب، وينقسم إلى مطلبين وهما: المطلب الأول: تعريف سنن التغالب لغة واصطلاحا، والمطلب الثاني: ألفاظ ذات صلة .
والمبحث الثاني: نماذج من سنن التغالب، وينقسم إلى مطلبين، وهما: المطلب الأول: سنن التغالب لنيل تأييد الله تعالى، والمطلب الثاني: سنن التغلب على الصعوبات والاخطار.
      ومن ثم ذكرت في الخاتمة أهم الاستنتاجات التي توصلت إليها خلال البحث، وأهمها: أنه يجب على الانسان ومن منطلق مسؤوليته في الحياة أن يتخذ كلما هو متاح من الأسباب المشروعة، بغية تجاوز الصعوبات والمعوقات التي تعتريه، وذلك باستثمار الجهود وتوفيرها وجعلها مدارج لنيل المراتب العلى ولحياة أفضل في الدنيا والآخرة، وكي يضع الإنسان بصمته على الدنيا وجبينه يتعرق من البذل لكل ما هو متاح من الجهد، ومن ثم لتكملة صورة التفوق والنجاح التوكل على الله تعالى، والتسليم لقضائه وقدره، لأن كل شيء عنده بمقدار سبحانه وتعالى، وبهذا يتمكن الإنسان من أداء مسؤولية وجوده في الحياة وبالوجه المطلوب والغاية المرجوة .
المعالجات المعجميَّة في كتاب سيبويه
Authors: Idris Firas Hashem
Published: November 2022

المعاجم أوعية الألفاظ، وقد اعتنى بجمعها من مظانها أئمة اللغة فكانت منهلا ثرّا لعلوم اللغة والتفسير، وإنَّ العناية بالألفاظ ودلالاتها لا تقل أهمية عن العلوم الأخرى فهي أسُّ هذه العلوم إذ تقوم على المعنى الذي يستنبط منها النحوي قاعدته والصرفيّ وزنه. وإن لكتاب سيبويه معالجات معجمية للألفاظ التي وردت فيه، فضلاً عن ما يتضمنه الكتاب من علوم اللغة نحوها وصرفها وبلاغتها وصوتها. اطّلعتُ على المادة المعجميَّةِ فوجدتها ليست بالقليلة، ثم انتقيت منها ألفاظا للبحث.  وكانَ أُسلوب البحثِ ذا دراسة معجمية، استقرائية وصفية المنهج، يميل إلى التحليلِ، إذ أُوردُ نصوصَ سيبويهَ كما هي، وأُحلِّلُ ما يَرِدُ منها من ألفاظٍ تتّصلُ بالنصوص النحْويَّةِ التي أوردها سيبويهُ، موازنًا اللفظً الذي ذكرهُ سيبويهُ بين معاجم المُتَقَدِّمينَ. وتضمنت خطة البحث مقدمة ذكرت فيها أهمية البحث وسبب اختياره، وأبرز المصادر في البحث، ثم تمهيد جاء بعنوان سيبويهُ ومنهجُهُ في معالجةِ الألفاظِ المعجميَّةِ، من تعريف بسيبويه، وبكتابه، وبأسلوب معالجته للألفاظ المعجمية، ثم ألفاظ الدراسة المنتقاة، ثم خاتمة بأهم النتائج، ثم ثبت المصادر والمراجع.
