الأفعال الكلامية في خطاب التهنئة بالعيد في البلدان العربية من منظور تداولي
Authors: بابكر أفراح أبو البشر محمد
Published: August 2024

سعت الدراسة الحالية إلى رصد الأفعال الكلامية في خطاب التهنئة بالعيد، الشائعة في البلدان العربية، ودراستها من منظور تداولي، معتمدة في ذلك على المنهج التداولي الذي يهتم باللغة المستعملة. تم تقسيم البحث إلى مقدمة، ومبحثين، ثم خاتمة تضمنت أهم النتائج والتوصيات. جاء في المقدمة: أهمية الدراسة، وتساؤلاتها، وأهدافها، ومنهجها، وخطة تقسيمها، والدراسات السابقة، وتناول المبحث الأول الجانب النظري للدراسة، في حين تناول المبحث الثاني الجانب التطبيقي (أفعال الكلام في خطاب التهنئة بالعيد). وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى عدد من النتائج، أهمها: لا تخضع عبارة التهنئة في حكم التداولية لمعيار الصدق والكذب؛ لأنها لا تقع ضمن الإخباريات، ولكنها تخضع لمعيار النجاح والفشل، كونها من التعبيريات. أن الفعل التأثيري لخطاب التهنئة بالعيد قد يختلف باختلاف حال المخاطَب/المُهنَّأ، وبعلاقته بالمتكلم/المهنِّئ، ولكنه يكاد ينحصر في قبول التهنئة وإظهار السعادة بها، ومن ثم ردها بمثلها أو بأحسن منها؛ نظرا للأثر الذي تركته تعاليم الإسلام في نفوس المسلمين، بحثِّهم على التصالح والعفو، وقطع أسباب الخلاف والشحناء فيما بينهم.

Authors: العوفي عبد الهادي بن إبراهيم مويس
Published: August 2024

يدور هذا البحث حول موضوع التناص مع القرآن الكريم في شعر أحد شعراء المدينة المنورة المعاصرين، وهو الشاعر مروان المزيني، لبروز ظاهرة التناص مع القرآن الكريم في شعره، ويهدف البحث إلى مقاربة هذه الظاهرة من أجل الكشف عن أنواعها، وكيفية توظيف الشاعر لها، مستعينا بالتناص منهجًا، وقد اقتضت طبيعة البحث أن يتكون من مقدمة تمهيد وثلاثة مباحث وخاتمة وفهرس، وهي على النحو الآتي: المقدمة، وفيها: نبذة عن الموضوع وأهميته والدراسات السابقة وخطة البحث ومنهجه، والتمهيد وفيه: التعريف بالشاعر تعريفًا موجزًا، التعريف بالتناص. المبحث الأول: التناص الاقتباسي. المبحث الثاني: التناص الإحالي، المبحث الثالث: التناص الإيحائي. الخاتمة: وفيها أهم النتائج التي توصل إليها البحث ومن أهمها: أن كثرة التناصات مع النص القرآني المبثوثة في دواوين مروان المزيني تؤكد عُمق ثقافة الشاعر الدينية؛ حيث نجد أن التناص مع القرآن الكريم يمثّل ظاهرة واضحة في شعره. لم يكن تناص الشاعر مع القرآن الكريم جاريا على نمط واحد، وإنما كانت تناصاته شاملة للأنماط الثلاثة التي حددها علماء اللغة النصيون، وهي التناص الاقتباسي، والإحالي، والإيحائي، وهذا يعكس قدرته على تنويع أسلوبه في التناص بين الوضوح والخفاء، تبعا لطبيعة الموضوع الذي يتناوله، والسياقات التي قيل فيها.

الشكوى في ديوان المفضليات: دراسة أسلوبية
Authors: الزهراني ضيف الله بن صالح حسن
Published: August 2024

يهدف البحث إلى تتبع الشكوى من خلال العصور المختلفة. والكشف عن مواضع الشكوى ومجالاتها المختلفة في ديوان المفضليات. وقد اقتضت طبيعة البحث تقسيمه إلى مقدمة، ثم تتبعت بعد ذلك غرض الشكوى ابتداء من العصر الجاهلي مرورًا بعصر صدر الإسلام والأموي، وانتهاء بالعصر العباسي. ومن ثم تحليل مواضع الشكوى في الديوان محل الدراسة. وقد توصل البحث إلى أن المتتبع لمقطوعات الشكوى عامة إما أن يجدها موضوعا مستقلا، أو متداخلة مع أغراض أخرى ضمن قصيدة واحدة، وسواء أكان في هذا المضمار أم ذاك فإن الشكوى تبقى معاناة يكابدها الشاعر تخرج آثارها خلال قصيدة متكاملة أو خلال مقطوعة مختلفة الأطوال، فالأبيات وإن كانت ضمن قصيدة غير مستقلة بالشكوى، فإن أثر الألم والحسرة الباعثين على الشكوى سنجده ظاهرا لا محالة في الأبيات المقصودة، ولعل براعة شاعر ما تظهر من خلال سلاسة الانتقالات من غرض إلى آخر عبر قصيدة واحدة.  وأن شعر الشكوى يسجل صدق معاناة الشاعر دون زيف أو خداع، فبواعثه كفيلة باستدرار ما يعالجه الشاعر من ألم وحسرة تكفلان نقل تجربة شعرية صادقة عند المتلقي، إذ يتوافر للشكوى ما يتوافر للرثاء من بواعث تعكس أوجاع النفس البشرية من خلال أحزانها وآلامها.

Educational Intervention Improves Female Athlete Triad Awareness in Female Collegiate Swimmers
Authors: Bergstein Victoria , Schmerler Jessica , Cosgarea Andrew , Roemmich Ryan , LaPorte Dawn , Coslick Alexis
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The Female Athlete Triad (Triad) is characterized by high energy expenditure and low caloric intake, leading to dysregulation of menstruation and bone metabolism. Triad-associated relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs) adversely affects performance and mental health. Risk factors are underrecognized in swimmers, who are less likely to present with bone stress injuries because of swimming’s non-weightbearing nature. Our objective was to quantify knowledge about the Triad and REDs among collegiate swimmers and demonstrate the value of educational intervention.
 
Methods: Members of two Division III women’s varsity swim teams completed a Qualtrics survey, consisting of 35 Triad and REDs questions, and 13 demographics questions. Participants then attended an in-person, 20-minute educational session focused on Triad risk factors and prevention, after which they completed a post-session survey. The post-session survey contained 13 additional questions using a Likert scale, where 1=Strongly Agree and 5=Strongly Disagree. Pre- and post-session data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel.
 
Results: Thirty-one swimmers were included. Pre-session, 9.7% of respondents named one or more Triad components, compared to 96.8% after (p<0.0001). 9.7% could define the REDs acronym pre-session, compared to 87.1% after (p<0.0001). Participants better understood the Triad post-session (mean Likert score=1.23) and found the session helpful (mean=1.23), but in a hypothetical scenario, felt relatively uncomfortable contacting medical staff about Triad symptoms (mean=1.87, p=0.0002). Of the 35.5% who believed they may be experiencing Triad components, 72.7% indicated the session motivated them to seek help.
 
Conclusions: Female collegiate swimmers’ low baseline Triad and REDs knowledge improved significantly after an educational intervention. Survey responses highlighted the importance of heightened Triad awareness, but also its continued stigmatization. The session encouraged swimmers with self-identified Triad symptoms to seek help, underscoring the importance of continued education efforts, especially in sports where the Triad is underrecognized.

Authors: Hamzy Ibrahim Abdullah , Alqhoson Abdulelah Ibrahim , Aljarbou Anas Mohammed , Alhajri Mohammed Abdulrahman
Published: August 2024

Background: Ophthalmic drug delivery presents a unique challenge due to the complexity of ocular anatomy and the barriers to drug absorption. Current ocular formulations struggle with issues such as low bioavailability and rapid drug elimination, necessitating advancements in drug delivery systems to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Aim: This review aims to evaluate various ophthalmic drug delivery systems specifically for antibiotic therapies, addressing their efficacy in overcoming ocular barriers and improving drug retention. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, focusing on different ophthalmic drug delivery systems including topical formulations (eye drops, ointments, hydrogels, and contact lenses), novel systems (in situ gels, nanoparticles, and emulsions), and advanced techniques like intraocular injections. Key developments and challenges associated with each method were analyzed to assess their impact on drug bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes. Results: Traditional ophthalmic delivery methods, such as eye drops and ointments, are limited by factors such as rapid drug clearance and poor bioavailability. Innovations such as in situ gelling systems, nanoparticles, and emulsions have shown promise in extending drug residence time and enhancing bioavailability. Specifically, nanoparticles offer targeted delivery and prolonged action, while hydrogels and emulsions improve drug solubility and stability.
‘Mitigation is global, adaptation is local’: An assessment of the framing of climate change in Nigerian and South African newspapers

The economic impact of climate change, especially in Africa, is tremendous. As Africans battle with severe weather conditions like floods and droughts, their limited infrastructure is overstretched and, in most cases, cannot withstand the impact. The rains are flooding cities in Nigeria as drought ravages cities in South Africa. When events like these occur, people look to the media for information, and studies have shown that the media can influence public perception of climate change through the way they frame the issue. Using the issue-specific frames of mitigation and adaptation, this study analysed Nigerian and South African newspapers’ coverage of climate change. The study spanned 9 months (January-September 2018), and the online editions of The Punch, Leadership, Mail & Guardian and News Everyday were content-analysed quantitatively using tables and frequencies, and qualitatively, using verbatim quotes. A total of 90 stories were obtained from the four newspapers, with the straight news format as the most used story genre. The major sources of news stories on climate change were the reporters, followed by experts/private individuals. The adaptation frame was the most used, showing that the African media understands the need to mobilise citizens locally for a collective fight against climate change.

While the need for securitisation and counterterrorism cooperation among states is consistently re-echoed in the previous studies on security, the role (or complicity) of the neo-liberal state in distorting and undermining these arrangements has been neglected. The objective of this article is to examine how state actors are implicated in the weakening of counterterrorism engagements in the Lake Chad region. Based on qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, the study identified three thresholds of state complicity undermining the fight against Boko Haram: (i) information compromise (ii) amnesty programme complicity (rehabilitation of Boko Haram members) and (iii) intelligence complicity. These are primarily underpinned by the rehabilitation of ‘unrepentant’ Boko Haram terrorists, fragmentation of military institutions, and complicity in cross-border arms movements. These acts do not only undermine internal peace and security but also perpetuate transnational terrorism in the Lake Chad region. The article, therefore, recommends a new peace agenda hinged on a hybrid of regional partnership on peace education and security cooperation.
Evasive countermeasures: Boko Haram’s influence operations in the Lake Chad Basin region
Authors:   School of Global Affairs, King’s College London, London, United Kingdom, Aina Folahanmi
Published: August 2024

Since its emergence, the insurgency group, Boko Haram has continued to wreak havoc on local communities in Northeast Nigeria and across the Lake Chad Basin region together with its offshoot, the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP). This has led to the death of several people and the displacement of many others. While affected states in the troubled region have mostly responded through kinetic operations, the activities of both groups have continued unabated. These activities have mostly been achieved via attempts to exert influence in communities with little or minimal state authority. Previous studies have focused on the origins, causes, attacks, and consequences of the activities of the violent extremist group, yet its influence operations particularly in contested territories remain under-examined. This qualitative study foregrounds the need to close this gap using descriptive analysis. Countering Boko Haram and ISWAP’s influence operations in the Lake Chad Basin region remains the key to winning the “soft” war which is necessary to ultimately degrade, dismantle, and defeat these insurgency groups in the region.

This study examined the state of congestion in Anambra State metropolis and its effect on the development of the rural areas of the State. Data for the study were generated through the documentary and participant observation methods of data generation. These data were analysed with the content analysis tool. Anchored on the push-pull model of migration, the study found among others that congestion in Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi is a result of an influx of people from other parts of the State, considered rural, into the metropolis because of lack of social infrastructure, employment opportunities and empowerment from the three tiers of government, in the hope of enjoying these benefits in the urban areas. As a result, the study recommended social infrastructural revamp in the whole rural parts of Anambra State; creating rural area-based entrepreneurship development schemes and agricultural sector empowerment for agricultural rejuvenation to keep the rural dwellers comfortable and gainfully engaged.

This article analyzes the impact of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) on improving the investment environment in Indonesia. Indonesia seeks to enhance legal certainty and create a favorable climate for investors, both local and foreign, by incorporating Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) into its legal system. This will provide an efficient and non-judicial method for settling investment issues. This approach is further solidified by the state's adoption of the ICSID Convention via Law No. 5 of 1968, which provides a dependable arbitration mechanism for the resolution of disputes involving foreign investors and the state. The convergence of ADR principles and ICSID regulations not only corresponds to global benchmarks but also reflects the cultural ethos of "musyawarah mufakat" in Indonesia, which advocates for peaceful resolutions. Attracting investment, sustaining economic growth, and participating in regional and global trade frameworks are all dependent on these legal mechanisms being successful. There are far-reaching consequences for Indonesia's long-term economic development, and this research emphasizes the critical significance of legal frameworks in preserving investor trust.

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of drying at different temperatures and slice thicknesses on the physicochemical properties of dehydrated kiwi. Circular slices of kiwi, with thicknesses of 10.0 and 15.0 mm, were subjected to drying at different temperatures (50, 60, 70, and 80 °C). After drying, the samples were packed in laminated packaging and analyzed for physicochemical properties and bioactive compounds. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replicates, and the data were subjected to analysis of variance and regression. The thickness of the slices and the drying temperatures significantly influenced the characteristics of the final product. The dehydrated kiwi slices with a thickness of 10 mm had a lower water content when dried at 50 °C, while the temperature of 80 °C resulted in the lowest water content for the 15 mm slices. The drying conditions significantly affected the color of the product, with an orange coloration observed. However, the phenolic compounds and total chlorophyll were not significantly influenced by the drying temperatures, although the slice thickness impacted these parameters. It is concluded that both slice thickness and drying temperature exert a significant influence on the physicochemical properties of dehydrated kiwi, particularly on water content and final coloration. However, bioactive compounds, such as phenolics and total chlorophyll, were more influenced by slice thickness than by temperature variations.

The state of Espírito Santo has a wide diversification of rural activities, such as family agribusinesses and activities related to rural tourism. However, diagnosing the rural zone presents some challenges, such as the difficulty of access and location, long distances, and excessive costs, combined with the scarcity of human and financial resources inherent to public services. In this sense, it is necessary to restructure the communication and technical assistance and rural extension model established by public institutions to reinforce the trend towards the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and the implementation of concepts such as e-government (e-Gov). In this context, we propose an interactive computational tool, focusing on diagnosing, planning, and addressing the different current demands the rural sector presents. To achieve this, we have developed a consulting and data analysis system that also employs artificial intelligence concepts, aiming to increase the efficiency and quality of public services in rural areas. The proposed system is called Agrolegal Ater Digital and includes functionalities such as registration, diagnosis, virtual library, event registration, news, and funding opportunities. The objective is to facilitate access to information for rural entrepreneurs regarding the public services offered and to increase the speed of communication with public agents. The results obtained through the conducted diagnoses are promising, with good acceptance from the test group regarding the proposed tool and the use of information technology in addressing requests in rural areas.

Published: August 2024

The objective of this work is to synthesize novel peptide vectors for cancer therapy and tumor imaging. Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation and the ability of cancer cells to evade programmed cell death. It poses a significant health problem globally, with increasing incidence rates observed in both industrialized and developing countries. Early detection of cancer is crucial for effective treatment, and various techniques such as observation, palpation, biopsies, and medical imaging have been employed for this purpose. However, these methods have limitations in terms of early detection, precision, and availability. Therefore, the development of new treatments and diagnostic methods is a pressing need in cancer research. This study focuses on the synthesis of peptide vectors that can serve as effective tools for cancer therapy and tumor imaging. Peptide vectors offer several advantages, including their ability to specifically target cancer cells, their potential for multivalency, and their capacity for non-viral vectorization. The research aims to design and synthesize peptide vectors that target αVβ3 integrin, a protein overexpressed in tumor cells and associated with tumor neo-angiogenesis. The vectors will incorporate the cyclodecapeptide scaffold RAFT as a structural framework and will be functionalized with the -RGD- ligand, known for its affinity to αVβ3 integrin. The incorporation of specific features such as oxime ligation and disulfide bridges will enhance the stability and functionality of the vectors. Additionally, the use of FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) will enable imaging capabilities for tumor detection. Overall, this work seeks to contribute to the advancement of cancer therapy and tumor imaging by synthesizing novel peptide vectors with targeted specificity and imaging capabilities. The successful development of these peptide vectors could potentially lead to improved early detection, targeted drug delivery, and more effective treatment strategies for cancer patients.

Study on the Impact of State Relations on Chinas Industrial Supply Chain Upstream from the Perspective of International Trade: A Case Study of Mineral Resources
Authors: Wang Yixuan
Published: August 2024

As a major global power, Chinas overseas interests are rapidly expanding. Ensuring the security of industrial supply chains has become a critical issue. This paper adopts the perspective of international trade, utilizing the random frontier gravity model, and focuses on the top five mineral products and raw materials exported from China to India according to the 2019 export composition table of the Ministry of Commerce of the Peoples Republic of China. Based on export data of these minerals from China to India between 2008 and 2023, this paper analyzes the trends in mineral import and export, studies the correlation between bilateral trade between China and India and changes in Sino-Indian relations, and points out the potential impact of current Sino-Indian relations on Chinas upstream industrial chain. The study finds that for mineral fuels, mineral oils and their products, asphalt, zinc and its products, and steel products, Sino-Indian relations have a relatively minor impact on Chinas imports of such minerals and raw materials from India. However, for steel resources, Sino-Indian relations show a significant positive correlation with their import situation. Based on the current state of Sino-Indian relations, the study will propose relevant recommendations for the production and export of Indian steel and other mineral resources, combined with the needs of Chinas upstream industrial supply chain. This study aims to provide relevant insights and references for safeguarding Chinas strategic mineral resource security.
Global Financial Inclusion: Mechanisms, Regional Disparities, and Recommendations for Improvement
Authors: Guo Lin
Published: August 2024

Since the financial crisis of 2008, the international community has increasingly emphasized financial inclusion. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global economy, making economic recovery and relief urgent priorities. Financial inclusion, as a crucial means in this process and a hot topic in the financial sector, warrants deeper exploration and analysis. To examine the current state of global financial inclusion, especially its prospects and challenges in the post-COVID-19 context, this paper systematically analyzes the mechanisms, current status, and regional disparities of global financial inclusion based on the World Bank's 2022 "Global Findex Database 2021" report. The study finds that although global financial inclusion has been steadily improving, factors such as the COVID-19 outbreak, income inequality, and gender disparity continue to hinder vulnerable groups from accessing convenient and affordable financial services within the formal financial system. Therefore, advancing the process of inclusive finance still requires the collective collaboration and effort of governments worldwide.

Authors: Xu Zhiteng
Published: August 2024

With the continuous improvement of China's economic level, the main social contradictions have shifted, and people's demand for a better life has been rising. On one hand, for rural residents, the desire to build beautiful villages, achieve modern rural development, and narrow the urban-rural gap has become increasingly strong. On the other hand, the continuous progress of the digital economy and digital technology has brought new changes to rural development. How to utilize digital technology to promote the development of new-quality productivity in rural areas and promote rural revitalization has become a new era issue. Digital rural construction is the only way for further rural development and modernization. Therefore, relevant research on digital rural development is of great significance. Against the backdrop of the digital technology revolution, new-quality productivity represents the deep integration of technology and production and is the core driving force of the modernization process. It not only changes the development model of industry and services but also deeply penetrates the agricultural and rural fields, providing strong support for digital rural construction. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pays special attention to the "three rural" issues (agriculture, rural areas, and farmers), emphasizing the importance of "three rural" work in the new era. Digital rural construction, in this context, is endowed with special strategic significance. New-quality productivity, centered on technological innovation, opens up a new path for agricultural modernization development. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of digital rural construction, from its core concepts, existing problems to the exploration of practical paths, has certain theoretical and practical significance for understanding the actual role of new-quality productivity in the agricultural and rural areas. In light of this, this paper aims to explore the application of new-quality productivity in digital rural construction, analyze its transformation logic in rural development, address key issues in digital rural construction, and play a specific role in practical paths, providing theoretical support and suggestions for relevant policy formulation and implementation.
