Background: Preclampsia is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality which accounts for 5%-10% of deaths worldwide. Several studies have attempted to effectively predict preclampsia early in pregnancy. The effective method of detection and treatment are yet to be determined.   Early identification of women at risk would enhance prompt monitoring and treatment of both mother and fetus. International Federation of Gynaecology and obstetrics FIGO   recommends that the use of risk factors along with biomarkers would be beneficial in predicting the disease among pregnant women. Thus, the discovery of a sensitive and specific biomarker would reduce the unwanted effect of preeclampsia. Several biomarkers have been studied but efforts to find an effective one for the prediction of preeclampsia is still elusive.

The study evaluated the relationship between pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (P PPA) and preeclampsia as a biomarker in predicting preeclampsia.  

Objectives: To determine the relationship between the levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A and the onset of pre-eclampsia among pregnant women with risk factors for preeclampsia and those without known risk factors (control).

Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study of consenting patients who presented at the maternity unit of Ifako-Ijaiye Mother and Child Centre between 11-15 weeks gestation with risk factors for preeclampsia (cases) and those without known risk factors for preeclampsia (controls). Blood samples were obtained and sent to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Medical Research Laboratory for analysis of Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein-A (PAPP-A).

Results: No significant correlation was found between the onset of preeclampsia and the levels of Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein-A in pregnant women with risk as well as those without risk factors who later on developed the disease. p>0.05. Among women without identifiable risk of preeclampsia, median Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein-A was significantly higher in pregnant women who did not develop Preeclampsia compared to those who subsequently developed preeclampsia (p=0.004).

There was a statistically significant difference in the median PAPP-A levels between patients at risk of preeclampsia (cases) compared with those without risk (controls). p<0.05.

Conclusion: There was a significantly lower median level of PAPP-A among patients with risk factors for preeclampsia when compared with low-risk patients. Meanwhile, there is no significant correlation between the levels of PAPP-A and onset of preeclampsia among those who subsequently developed the disease in those at risk and those without.

Bu araştırma, 5. Sınıf öğrencilerinin ve ilköğretim kurumlarının 5. sınıflarında görev yapan Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmenlerinin uygulanmakta olan Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı’ na ilişkin görüşlerine dayalı program değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Hem nitel hem de nicel verilerin elde edildiği bu çalışma karma yöntem olarak tasarlanmıştır. Manisa ilinde görev yapan 12 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeninden görüşme formu aracılığıyla elde edilen nitel veriler, içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiş, bu çözümlemeleri desteklemek üzere betimsel analizlerden yararlanılmıştır. Manisa ilindeki 4 farklı okuldaki toplam 9 sınıfın 233 öğrencisinden anket aracılığıyla elde edilen nicel verilerin standart sapma, aritmetik ortalama ve frekans analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda 5. sınıf Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı’ nın kazanımlarının öğrenci seviyesine uygun, anlaşılır, beceri ve değerleri geliştirici nitelikte olduğu, konuların 2005 programına göre azaltılarak ciddi değişikliğin olmadığı; öğrenme öğretme sürecinde en çok ders saatinin az oluşundan dolayı etkinliklerin yetişmediği ve sınama durumlarının bu programda eskiye göre daha esnek olduğu ama yine de ders saatinin az ve sınıfların kalabalık oluşundan dolayı sınama durumlarında sıkıntı yaşanıldığı belirlenmiştir. 2005 ve 2018 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Program’ları karşılaştırıldığında, kazanım, içerik, öğrenme-öğretme süreci ve sınama durumları boyutları bakımından belirgin bir farklılık bulunamamıştır. Kazanımların çoğunluğu aynıdır ve içerikte ciddi değişimler söz konusu değildir. 2005 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı’ nda her kazanımın nasıl değerlendirileceği ve öğrenme-öğretme süreci hakkında açıklamalar verilirken 2018 programında açıklamaların verilmemiş olması 2018 öğretim programının bir eksikliği olarak değerlendirilebilir.

Değerler, toplumun devamlılığını sağlamak ve nitelikli vatandaşlar yetiştirmek için önemli görülmektedir. Bu yüzden okul öncesi dönemde temelleri atılan değerler eğitimi ve öğretimi birçok çalışmaya konu olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi dönemde değerleri ele alan lisansüstü tezleri değerlendirmek olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi, 2013-2020 yılları arasında Okul Öncesi Eğitimi alanında yapılan ve YÖK Ulusal Tez Merkezi’nden ulaşılabilen 40 lisansüstü tezden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemi, amaçsal örnekleme türlerinden biri olan ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Lisansüstü tezlerin kriterleri; tür, üniversite, yıl, enstitü, araştırma konusu, yöntem, model, örneklem türü, veri toplama araçları ve tez danışmanlarının unvanları olarak belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirme sonucunda bulgular, frekans değerleri hesaplanarak tablolar halinde verilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda okul öncesi dönemde değerlerle ilgili 37 yüksek lisans, 3 doktora tezinin yapıldığı, lisansüstü tezlerin en çok 2019 yılında, Gazi Üniversitesi’nde, eğitim bilimleri enstitülerinde ve doktor öğretim üyesi unvanına sahip danışmanlar tarafından yürütüldüğü tespit edilmiştir. Bunların yanında en çok saygı, sorumluluk, sevgi, iş birliği ve doğruluk (dürüstlük) gibi konuları ele alan tezlerde; en fazla nicel araştırma yöntemi, ilişkisel tarama modeli, veri toplama araçlarında ise ölçek, görüşme, gözlem ve dokümanlar veri toplama araçları tercih edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlardan hareketle okul öncesi dönemde değerler konusunda doktora düzeyinde tez çalışmalarına daha fazla yer verilmesi önerilmektedir.

A Global Crisis in a Contested Space: Curating the Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival 2020
Authors: Evangelou Ellada
Published: June 2021

The article aims to examine the interconnectedness between a global health crisis and a performing arts festival, within a contested space. The COVID-19 global health crisis interacted with the geogra-phy of Cyprus and Nicosia, a space defined by its separating line, in the context of the Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival 2020. As a result, part of the theatrical praxis has come to be re-defined based on the new emergency of the global health crisis. It has reframed much of the praxis that rests in the gap between a political act and an interventionist practice. The article firstly presents the curatorial approach as that emerged from the 2019 Festival with the interplay between methodology and con-tent, leading to the formulation and implementation of the 2020 festival as a physical and digital event in the midst of the pandemic. The maneu-vering through the limitations of the health crisis, fostered processes of newly formulating the Open Call, cancelling and postponing, creating new norms and conditions to maintain the inclusive character of the Festival and create new audiences. This process resulted in redefining the contested space itself, and the notions of the ‘marginal’, the ‘stranger’ and the ‘other’ in Cyprus, as well as part of the digital and international dimensions of the Festival.
LA VULNERABILIDAD ESCÉNICA EN EL UNIPERSONAL MI HERMANA EXTRANJERA: MEMORIA, AUTOFICCIÓN Y SEXUALIDAD EN LA INFANCIA
Authors: Repeto Irene
Published: June 2021

El proceso de creación del unipersonal Mi hermana extranjera servirá como punto de partida para la conceptualización de la vulnerabi-lidad escénica, concebida en este artículo como la exaltación de una herida biográfica en relación al cuerpo. A partir de la reflexión sobre teatra-lidades contemporáneas como las de Angélica Liddell y Vivi Tellas, se busca construir dicho concepto como herramienta poética que hace uso de la puesta en escena de la propia experiencia a través de la performa-tividad de la memoria. Se propone que estos conceptos pongan en crisis la construcción identitaria del ser humano para dar paso a un discurso escénico de carácter crítico que podemos identificar con el llamado tea-tro de autoficción.

Pluralismo jurídico: avances constitucionales actuales
Authors: Cantillo Pushaina Juan José
Published: July 2021

El reconocimiento del pluralismo jurídico por el Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos, especialmente por el Convenio 169 de la OIT, así como su positivización en las Constituciones de algunos Estados de América Latina, permi-ten afirmar que este principio debe transitar de su fase fundacional a la fase de su consolidación. Este artículo pretende, por medio de un método exploratorio y deductivo, describir la actual perspectiva con la que se estudia el pluralismo jurídico evidenciando un problema de abordaje desde la ciencia jurídica, puesto que la sociología y la antropología jurídica que lo estudian actualmente no consultan el derecho, originando una crisis y un estancamiento en el desarrollo del concepto. La solución, evidente, es que el estudio del pluralismo jurídico debe realizarse normativamente desde la perspectiva del derecho. Solo así se facilitará el diálogo normativo e interjurisdiccional entre el derecho indígena y el derecho estatal en sentido estricto, que efectivice el pluralismo jurídico. En Colombia, la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz es una muestra de ese inicio de diálogo entre jurisdicciones.

Contributions de la neuropsychologie : Hautes compétences/Doués
Authors: Galvão Jéssyca de Alcantara
Published: June 2021

La neuropsychologie est un domaine de psychologie et de neurosciences qui étudie les relations entre le système nerveux central, le fonctionnement cognitif et le comportement. Depuis le début, les chercheurs dans le domaine ont cherché à comprendre les scans de l’anatomie du cerveau et sa corrélation avec les capacités cognitives. La neuropsychologie progresse et se transforme constamment, et donc, les résultats de cette science offrent un soutien de plus en plus théorique et méthodologique pour les professionnels et permettent des interventions et des traitements plus appropriés aux patients. Malgré les progrès de la recherche sur les capacités cognitives, il existe actuellement des difficultés concernant la reconnaissance des personnes ayant des hautes compétences / douance. En outre, dans de nombreuses fois, HC /D est confondu avec des troubles. Pour cette raison, cette étude bibliographique présente les principales contributions de la neuropsychologie à l’identification et au développement des personnes atteintes d’HC /D, en dénotant les aspects historiques, les principales avancées et le scénario actuel. L’analyse des données recueillies dans les articles, les thèses, les livres, les lois et les politiques publiques en vigueur a montré qu’il n’existe toujours pas de classification précise pour la compréhension de l’HC /D. Ce que l’on sait actuellement, c’est que l’intelligence est l’un des facteurs d’identification, mais d’autres compétences sont également considérées comme des aspects artistiques, motivationnels et des compétences en leadership. Il y a aussi l’association des résultats des tests psychologiques avec des tests de neuroimagerie. Dans la continuité de l’enquête, les mécanismes neuropsychologiques des personnes identifiées avec HC /D ont été étudiés. Les résultats des recherches examinées indiquent une relation entre le quotient intellectuel et l’activité cérébrale ainsi que des différences dans le fonctionnement et l’anatomie du cerveau de ces personnes par rapport aux sujets du quotient intellectuel moyen. Le dernier sujet traite de la réalité brésilienne des enfants et des adolescents atteints d’HC /D du point de vue de l’école, des difficultés liées au processus d’identification et des soins adéquats pour ces personnes.

Published: June 2021

Este artigo tem o objetivo de abordar três contextos histórico-políticos que redimensionaram a realidade brasileira considerando as relações de forças das categorias de classes para assegurar a manutenção do poder. Para as nossas discussões, buscamos as conceituações de Antonio Gramsci sobre hegemonia, sociedade civil, sociedade política, poder, revolução e fascismo na perspectiva de apontar possíveis similaridades entre as relações de poder em momentos de ruptura e de reorientação política, que transformaram a vida da população brasileira. Acreditamos que a mobilização das classes subalternas para a sustentação hegemônica do atual regime é uma realidade que não configura a mobilização de grupos em defesa de um suposto governo de direita em sua devida fundamentação histórica.

Published: June 2021

El Abuso Sexual Infantil (ASI) es un tema de interés a nivel mundial. El tema elegido alude a la percepción social que poseen los y las docentes en escuelas primarias en la ciudad de Mérida acerca del abuso sexual infantil. La presente investigación, de abordaje cualitativo, se realizó con el objetivo de determinar el grado de conocimiento e información que poseen acerca del tema, en aspectos relacionados con el significado, opiniones, sentimientos y emociones, factores de riesgo, identificación y atención a casos. Se contó con la participación de 80 docentes para brindar su percepción social a través de una escala tipo Likert sobre el ASI; asimismo, 20 de ellos/as accedieron a sostener una entrevista semiestructurada para conocer con mayor profundidad su percepción social de este fenómeno. Los resultados reflejaron una conscientización de los y las docentes sobre esta situación, que permitió llegar a la conclusión de que actualmente es un problema muy común que afecta al país. Igualmente, permitió conocer que existe una falta de conocimiento sobre el ASI y la forma de actuar frente a dicha situación, debido a que no son ellos/as quienes llevan de cerca los casos, que en general son atendidos por la mayor autoridad de la escuela.

Published: June 2021

El artículo analiza las intervenciones mediacionales utilizadas en el desarrollo de la lectoescritura inicial en un grupo de ocho niños que presentan dificultades para su adquisición; pertenecen a familias de bajos recursos económicos y habitan en colonias del sur de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara. El método utilizado fue un estudio cualitativo de caso. El objeto de análisis fueron las sesiones de clase realizadas durante el primer semestre de 2019 en un centro de atención comunitaria. Para el análisis y la interpretación se utilizó el marco teórico del constructivismo sociocultural. Los datos recabados permitieron identificar 12 acciones mediacionales agrupadas en tres grandes categorías: el sentido de la actividad, la enseñanza directa y el desarrollo de procesos reflexivos. Se concluye que las acciones mediacionales ayudaron al aprendizaje de los estudiantes, pero hizo falta un mayor seguimiento individual de cada uno para lograr mejores resultados.
Prácticas escolarizadas de escritura en estudiantes de Letras hispánicas. Una descripción de la formación de sujetos letrados
Authors: Aguilar González Luz Eugenia , Fregoso Peralta Gilberto
Published: June 2021

Este artículo describe algunas prácticas escolarizadas de escritura realizadas en la educación básica y media que efectuaron estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Letras Hispánicas. El objetivo es describir las prácticas de escritura más frecuentes durante dicha etapa escolar, así como el significado que los estudiantes les otorgan al incorporarlas en su proceso de aprendizaje y que los han formado como sujetos letrados. El trabajo toma sus bases teóricas de los Nuevos Estudios de Literacidad (NEL) y de los estudios de Escritura a través del Curriculum (WAC).Desde estas perspectivas se construyeron tres categorías analíticas: actividades escolares, revisión de la escritura y oralización de la escritura. Con ellas se diseñó un cuestionario de 15 preguntas de dos tipos: cerradas dicotómicas y abiertas. Las preguntas cerradas permiten conocer la frecuencia de tipos de escritos y de prácticas escolares específicas, y las abiertas ayudan a comprender la significación de los estudiantes sobre dichas prácticas. Se aplicó a un total de 67 estudiantes de primero, octavo y noveno semestres. Los resultados muestran que la escuela realiza prácticas letradas diversas y que están transitando de la alfabetizacióna la literacidad. Los estudiantes significan la escritura como una práctica discursiva, lo que los caracteriza como sujetos letrados.

La vivienda de adobe es una de las tipologías constructivas más representativas de la arquitectura tradicional y de la cultura local en México. En las últimas décadas estos sistemas han sufrido un abandono y desplazamiento por materiales y técnicas contemporáneos, situación que no ha hecho más que acrecentarse tras los recientes eventos sísmicos ocurridos en el país, especialmente los del año 2017. La localidad de Jojutla, en el estado de Morelos, fue una de las más afectadas por el sismo de Puebla de 2017, sufriendo daños irreparables en su patrimonio edificado, donde destaca la pérdida de las viviendas de ado- be del centro histórico. Con la presente investigación se hizo un estudio completo en la localidad señalada y la afectación sísmica en las construcciones de adobe tras los eventos de 2017. Para ello se empleó una metodología que incluyó análisis mediante sistemas de información geográ ca, caracterización de los materiales constructivos de tierra en el laboratorio, y la revisión de las regulaciones constructivas y los planes de gestión de riesgos del municipio. Pudieron observarse graves de ciencias constructivas en las viviendas, así como una incorrecta planificación a nivel urbano y de gestión de riesgos en la localidad, lo que contribuyó a aumentar la vulnerabilidad sísmica de las edificaciones. A partir de las investigaciones previas y de los resultados que se presentan, pudo establecerse que las viviendas de adobe fueron desprotegidas por las autoridades, aunado al olvido de los sistemas tradicionales y las malas prácticas, lo cual derivó en la desaparición de esta cultura constructiva en la región estudiada.

Published: June 2021

La vivienda actual debe cumplir condiciones de habitabilidad indicadas y normadas institucional- mente. En México se han desarrollado diversos instrumentos sobre índices de sustentabilidad aplicados a las viviendas de interés social, entre ellos Hipoteca Verde de Infonavit y NAMA de vivienda. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar y evaluar las variables e índices de sustentabilidad en tres emplazamientos de interés social en Comalcalco, Tabasco. Se inicia desde las generalidades conceptuales y normativas de la vivienda social, con base en las categorías establecidas en la NAMA, hasta el análisis de los indicadores en cada una. El método utilizado corresponde a una investigación deductiva con enfoque cualitativo y alcance descriptivo. Se realizaron visitas de campo y revisión documental para la construcción de gráficas y cartografías temáticas que faciliten el análisis visual y la comprensión dimensional de la problemática. Los resultados muestran la poca incidencia y atención de los indicadores; de manera global se observa que los aspectos que más se cumplen son en la calidad del entorno urbano y los que menos se cumplen son los de calidad ambiental, pero cabe destacar que ninguna variable fue consistente para poder ser considerada como indicador de sustentabilidad. Los resultados permiten evaluar y verificar los campos de oportunidad para posibles acciones, normas y programas en los desarrollos de vivienda, a fin de abonar a los diagnósticos que llevan a cabo otros organismos como Sedatu y el Departamento de Obras Públicas del municipio para mejorar la habitabilidad de la vivienda.

Authors: Mulyawan Budy , Embi Muhamad Ali , Sohirin Sohirin
Published: June 2021

It has been nearly a decade since Indonesia had the latest Immigration Act (Law Number 6 of 2011). However, since the new Immigration Act was issued, the implementation of regulations for The Immigration Administrative Action has not yet been established. The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of the implementing regulations of the legislation if the legal basis had been changed and to find out whether the discretion principle can be used as the basis for the procedure of Immigration Administrative Action. The research method used in this study is normative juridical. The conclusion drawn from the research is that the Director General of Immigration Instructions for Implementation Number: F-314.Il.02.10 of 1995 concerning procedures for Immigration Action is still valid but is no longer relevant to the current law, and the use of discretionary authority by the agency Government administration officials can only be done in certain cases where the applicable laws and regulations do not regulate them or because existing regulations governing things are unclear and they are carried out in an emergency or urgent matter for the public interest.
Public Trust and Confidence towards Judiciary of Nepal: A Study based on Nepal National Governance Survey 2017/18
Authors: Bhandari Rameshwor , Paudel Junu
Published: June 2021

Citizens’trust and confidence occupy central place in democratic governance. They are more vital in public organizations. The level of trust and confidence of the people towards any institution shows the performance level of that organization. This paper tries to look at the level of trust and confidence towards the court system (judiciary) in Nepal. In order to analyze the level of trust and confidence level, this paper has used the data base of Nepal National Governance Survey, 2017/18 conducted by Nepal Administrative Staff College (NASC) in a sample size of 12,872 individuals across 43 districts (out of 77) of Nepal. The study uses simply descriptive method of data presentation. The study finds that the level of trust and confidence of the people towards courts in Nepal is quite satisfactory. It also reveals that level of honesty is comparatively better for courts in comparison to civil service and bureaucracy, NGOs and political parties. Though there is slight difference in the perception of respondents from different demographic groups and regions on the issue of trust and confidence, no significant difference is marked among these groups. However, it is evident that courts need to make their services better, respond the clients properly, give impartial judgment, and curtail corruption in order to have more public trust and confidence.

The article is aimed at defining the feasibility of using the Sitniks CRM software for small commodity businesses, examining its compliance with the standard and the main competitive advantages among such products. Analyzing and generaling the scientific works of many scholars, the positive impact of high-quality information provision on the activities of the enterprise is proved. However, despite the obvious benefit of using automation systems, a bigger share of Ukrainian entrepreneurs do not use CRM systems (Customer Relationship Management systems) either due to lack of awareness or unsuccessful implementation experience. The article uses comparative and matrix analyses. A comparative analysis of competitors shows that the researched CRM system stands out among others with a high level of flexibility and personalization, which is the main advantage of this software. During the SWOT analysis, the factors influencing the development of the company were worked out in detail. It is found that the main drawback of this software is a relatively long implementation period, and its capabilities and threats are, accordingly, scaling and increasing competitors in a niche. It is concluded that the Sitniks CRM system is not just a system for simplifying and automating business processes, but a platform that has sufficiently powerful functionality due to customization, integration, tracking capabilities and ease of use. The implementation of this software will lead the company to increase productivity, allowing to effectively plan and control, as well as establish strong relationships with customers.

The article is aimed at defining the priorities for the development of the biofuel market in Ukraine to ensure the energy security of the country and satisfy the country’s energy needs. Prospects for the bioenergy sector of the economy in the world will be determined primarily by the optimization of national policies in the matrix of multifarious criteria. The place of the Ukrainian model is highly likely to be determined, on the one hand, by the development of the national market, on the other hand, by the production of raw materials for world biofuel markets. At the same time, this market and production in Ukraine remains only a potentially promising model that requires a scientific substantiation for its efficiency. As a result of the study, it is specified that the bioenergy industry has serious limitations and problems of economic nature that require scientific substantiation. After analyzing the limitations and prospects of the industry development in Ukraine at the level of agricultural enterprises that could deploy biofuel production, it should be emphasized that: 1) there is currently no biofuel market in Ukraine: there is no significant production, hence the proposal still remains unformed; there are no agents (firms, enterprises) of the market that would form the established demand; the necessary norms, institutions, mechanisms of the representative market have not been developed; 2) there is no successful experience of such a business both in Ukraine in general and in agricultural enterprises in particular. From here, as well as taking into account the above-mentioned aspects, the attractiveness of this business, including investment, needs to be justified. Enterprises of this group will face funding problems, as well as technical and technological support problems. Therefore, special careful economic substantiation of the market efficiency model and business processes is required; 3) because of these reasons, the task of scientific substantiation of the model of efficient management of this business becomes highly topical.
Audience Demands as a Strategic Maneuver in Imam Al-Hassan's Speech after his Truce with Muaawiya
Authors: Al-Hindawi Fareed Hameed , Jubair Basim
Published: June 2021

Strategic maneuvering is an extended version of pragma-dialectics. It manifests itself in three basic aspects, p. topical potential, audience demands, and presentational devices. These aspects are interrelatedly used with each other. The aspect of audience demands, which is the concern of this study, indicates the use of cultural, conventional and common-sense knowledge of the audience’s preferences, following particular presentational devices as strategies. Thus, in their attempts to reasonably and effectively persuade the audience, speakers resort to this strategy in their endeavor to win the audience support. The use of this strategic manoeuvre in this concern seems to have not received its due scholarly attention from a pragmatic angle, particularly in religious discourse. Hence, this study attempts to bridge this gap in the literature via scrutinizing the speech of Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) grandson, Imam Al-Hassan son of Ali Bin Abi Talib (PBUT). This speech is considered as one of the most notable speeches in the Shiite theology. Imam Al-Hassan (PBUH), as the caliphate of Muslims, delivered this speech after the truce which was held between him and Muaawiya, the leader of the Umayyad people. To unravel the pragmatic features of strategic maneuvering in this speech, the current work addresses fulfilling audience demands by using certain presentational devices in this speech. In so doing, the study attempts to find out the persuading manifestations and rhetorical effects that influence the audience and change their attitude. To achieve those aims, the study appeals to Emeren and Houtlosser’s (2002) model for the pragmatic analysis of the speech in question. This analysis yields certain findings among which is Imam Al-Hassan’s (PBUH) exploitation of specific cultural issues related to Muslims as pragmatic strategic maneuvers that fulfill their demands.
Charity in Medieval Sufi Islam: Spiritual Dimensions
Authors: Khan Khurshid
Published: June 2021

The Early Chishti Sufi Shaikhs from thirteenth and fourteenth century Delhi made critical interventions in the religious lives of the Muslims in South Asia. They cultivated in their adherents the much-needed ethical vision and sensitivity towards the socially marginalized. Yet hardly any attention is paid to the pedagogy of these Sufis on religion and spirituality. Their discourses on their community are documented in their literary works like malfūzāt. Of late, malfūzāt have been studied as a literary genre for the unique processes of their making. But their didactic contents on Islam and their instructions to Sufi initiates have barely been examined. This lacuna stems on account of the usage of these religious texts as fillers for information lacking in court chronicles. The essay studies the pedagogy of the Early Chishtī Shaikhs and as they related to charity in medieval South Asia. It also examines the mechanisms deployed by them to cultivate a philanthropic vision in Muslims in the praxis of faith.

Chinese classical literature has attracted much attention in the Western world. As an important part of Chinese classical literature, Du Fu’s poetry, also as an important carrier, plays a great role in the international communication of cultural confidence. In recent years, some domestic research institutions and scholars have also written literature reviews on the research progress of Du Fu, but few works of literature comprehensively review related western research results. With the combination of big data and visualization tools, this study uses the title keyword “Du Fu Poetry” to search the English literature of Google scholar. VOSviewer is used to make visual analysis and draw a knowledge map from the aspects of literature quantity, authors, research institutions, co-citation, keyword clustering, etc., to analyze the research situation and hotspots of the Western study of Du’s poetry. The following conclusions are drawn: 1) In recent decades, western translation of Du Fu’s poetry have emerged constantly, attracting more and more famous international publishing houses to cooperate; 2) The study of Du’s poetry abroad mainly focuses on the English translation of Du’s poetry as well as the interpretation and evaluation of poets' thoughts; 3) The study of Du’s poetry abroad ignores the dynamic study of Du's poetry development, and there are some obvious cultural errors or omissions in translation. In a word, this study objectively reflects the development, theme and hotspots of modern western Du Fu poetry research, which has certain significance for fully understanding the general situation of Du Fu research field in Western countries and help to deepen Du Fu’s research.
The Dynamics of Hybridity in Diana Abu Jaber's The Language of Baklava and Life Without a Recipe
Authors: Jaber Salsabeel Jamal Said
Published: June 2021

This study explores the portrayal of hybridity in Diana Abu Jaber's two memoirs, The Language of Baklava (2005) and Life without a Recipe (2016).  Many researchers have dealt with the cultural issues that are portrayed in Diana Abu Jaber's novels, especially Crescent (2003) and Arabian Jazz (1993).  This study is distinguished from previous studies by focusing on the cultural aspects that are portrayed in Abu Jaber's two memoirs.  The main concern of this study is to shed light on Diana Abu Jaber's contributions to the exploration of the concept of hybridity in her memoirs from many aspects, such as the hybridity of identity and culture.  Furthermore, it highlights the basic differences between the memoirs in portraying the influences of the mixed culture and identity in Diana Abu Jaber's life.  On the other hand, this study tries to explore the influences of mixed parentage of the writer on her writing of the two novels and her depiction of hybridity in identity, culture and language.  Her American mother and her Jordanian father are the main motivation for Abu Jaber to focus on the mixture between Arab- American cultures in her writing.

Recommendations are suggested that lexical errors still need more studies and investigation because it is a very wide area and very difficult one.
Translator’s Ideology and Translation Choices in Political Conflict: Do Translators Have Their Say?
Authors: Allababneh Abdelkarim M
Published: June 2021

In the context of the Palestinian- Israeli conflict, unfaithful translation to the ‘original’ has been a site of resistance among Arab translators against Israeli occupational practices. This paper aims at studying Arab translator’s ideology in translating conflicting identities through answering two questions: First, to what extent can the translator apply his/her own ideology in the translation without compromising ethical principles (as often determined by faithfulness and accuracy)? Second, if the translator does not find it necessary to abide by the conventional requirements of loyalty and faithfulness, then what would be the criteria of his/her ethical responsibility and whom/what is the translator accountable to? I answer these questions in the context of my translation to Dorit Rabinyan’s All the Rivers from English into Arabic set out in appendix A of my Doctoral dissertation published by ProQuest LLC (2020). Answering these questions, I argue that ideology in translating conflicting identities features the co-productive aspect of translators’ act and marks their substantial autonomy on taking their own decisions without submitting to the dictates imposed by the binary opposition between the original and the translation and the author versus translator hierarchical relationship which underpins traditional codes of ethics translators “must” abide by along the translation process. I evidence my argument through annotating my translation choices and decisions I made all the way through my translation of Rabynian’s Novel. These The findings of this annotative study verify that translators’ position is never impartial or reproductive particularly when their task is translating works laden with representations of imbalanced power relations and political tensions between two cultures to which they, translators, belong.
