Correlation between Pro-inflammatory biomarkers and papillary thyroid cancer: A case control Study
Authors: PRK Bhargav , M Sabaretnam
Published: September 2022

Abstract Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy. Apart from genetics, autoimmunity has been implicated in its pathogenesis. In this context, we set out to study the role of Pro- inflammatory cytokines in PTC in South Indian population. Material and methods: This pilot prospective case-control study was conducted on surgically managed PTC patients. Institutional ethical committee approval was obtained. Diagnosis of PTC was based on imaging, fine needle aspiration cytology and later confirmed by histopathology. Exclusion criteria were subjects with any disease or medication interfering with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Serum samples were collected from 46 PTC subjects and 44 age matched healthy controls. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), leptin levels were measured in all serum samples. Statistical analysis was performed by one way ANOVA with Dunnet’s test and Pearson correlation tests. Results: The mean hSCRP level in PTC and controls were 18.3 ± 3.1 mg/mL and 5.5 ± 1.2 mg/mL respectively. The mean TNF-α level, IL-6 level and Leptin levels were 295 ± 28 pg/mL, 13.6 ± 4.4 pg/mL and 1.93 ± 0.8 ng/mL respectively. Serum leptin level in controls was 3.6 ±1.8 ng/mL. There was statistically significant difference of all the pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to controls (P value <0.05) with negative correlation for leptin levels. Conclusions: Our study shows raised titers of pro-inflammatory markers – IL-6, TNFα and hsCRP, while reduced leptin levels correlated with PTC suggesting a contributory role. But, the exact immuno-modulatory mechanism needs more research.

Authors: Ali Mohammed Ibrahim Pshtiwan , Jumaa Darwesh Azzadeen
Published: September 2022

This study investigates the meanders of the Lesser Zab River in the study area, in terms of morphometric characteristics such as )length, width, direction, shape, area and symmetry of the meanders( and their distribution along the main river in the river valley through explaining the forcing factors in the creation of such shapes such as slope, geological structure, transported materials, flow of tributaries into the main river and tectonic activity in terms of geomorphic actions such as (carving, removal, transportation and sedimentation(, with the influence of human factors. Also, the phases of meanders development from north to south in the river valley are discussed. Furthermore, differences and dissimilarities of such formation can be seen between the periods 1972-2021; this is reflected in morphometric characteristics and geomorphic actions in all parts of the river basin. This research relies on various research methods such as deductive method, numerical methods and cartographic methods; using (ArcGIS.version.10.8), with the use of digital elevation model (DEM12.5m), to conduct detailed field work by the researcher. In the study area, 17 bends and meanders in the river have been identified, of which 7 bends were bends and 10 were meandering with the percent of meandering reaching (1.58), and the bend of Kewiya has the highest rate of twist, which reached (5.4). At the same time, the value of symmetry in the bend of Bekhre village is completely symmetric, because the value of each side (X) and (Y) is 49. For example, the length of the river for each of the years (2020,1984 and 2021) consecutively reached (32 km, 32.876 km, 31.7٢7 km), These changes will affect the size of human activities in the study area such as )distribution of human settlements, agricultural activities, poultry farms, fish ponds and industrial activities).

It is not easy to search on farmers Kurdish Figures during history and write about them airport. With out going to library to find out and discover what resorts said and wrote about them and what had been written about the history of middle East searching in this space need some of historical Facts and events soured by Kurdish tribes and mention the names of areas or cities when they were lewd. This applied on what our research called Egyptian Kurds and their oral in political, economic and social life . We depended on Kurdish rote of many leaders and scientist who came to Egypt and riled it many years , although their real rote were unknown that was because Kurdish people were travelling abroad and they used the languages of countries thy stayed in The result was no one knew them and nobody knew what Kurdish people gave in different ages and what they have done for Islamic history and civilization. In the other hand Egypt was from ancient periods consider as a peaceful place for every one who asked for national freedom from or counties freedom . This was cleared from the relation ship between Kurds and Egypt ions since the regime of the president Jamal Abdul Nasser . There were traditional political and social relation with Kurdistan. The leader Mula Mustafa Al Barazuny met Abdul Naser in Qairo .

This companies took care of Kurdish assure , and they organized many conferences to show and explain the necessity of being lived peacefully with Egyptian (Kurds and Egyptians( for example ) Qairo centre for Kurdish studies), and (Kurdish and Egypt ion friend ship company) As well as the results assert that the role of Kurdish people was important craft industries and hand crafts , also they worked spinning and weaving laboratories for their ancient experiences .
The Problem of Liberal Equality in Contemporary Political Thought Michael Sandel as A Model
Authors: Rafiq Fatah Omed , Taha Obayed Amir
Published: September 2022

Building a liberal democratic society has many dimensions, and one of these dimensions is equality, as a philosophical principle, or formal equality as a legal and political principle. Equally, and from a liberal perspective thought; the importance of equality in these societies will be achieved by reducing inequality in conditions, without prejudice to basic freedoms. Equality as a principle emerged through the long debate in western political history, especially in the context of liberal equality. There have been different trends and views in how to achieve equality in liberal societies and apply it to the level of governance practice, self-development and ability level. Thus, this led Michael Sandel to become one of the liberal thinkers, and embark on a study that includes a broad discussion between social liberalism against differences and the dangers these differences pose to social cohesion and political consensus, and between the libertarian tendency against expanding the circle of equality, and the dangers it poses to the freedom of the individual, and liberalism based on individual values and rights, and communitarianism based on group values and rights. Therefore, the different ideas, trends and views within liberal thought on equality are considered as different theories and perceptions about building a just society in political, social, and economic terms.

Поняття та основні ознаки адміністративного акту: аналіз сучасної адміністративно-правової літератури
Authors: Турчак А. М.
Published: September 2022

У статті автором зазначено деякі принципові тези з приводу сутності адміністративного акту. Зокрема, на думку автора, не зовсім вірно категорію «адміністративний акт» вважати узагальнюючою та включати у її зміст не тільки індивідуальні акти, але й нормативно-правові акти. У баченні автора, адміністративний акт не може використовуватися як категорія для позначення рішень або дій, що стосуються проходження публічної служби або організації діяльності відповідних структурних підрозділів адміністративного органу. У даному випадку вказані акти мають внутрішньо-організаційний характер. Підтримано тезу про те, що до адміністративних актів публічної адміністрації також не можуть бути віднесені: акти-дії суб’єктів публічної адміністрації, а також інші самостійні види інструментів діяльності публічної адміністрації, як-то акти-плани, нормативні акти, адміністративні договори; проміжні рішення суб’єкта публічної адміністрації; офіційні документи, які засвідчують певні факти. Автором не сприймається тезу про ігнорування такої ознаки адміністративного акту як індивідуальний характер, яка пропагується окремими дослідниками. На підставі викладеного, автор вважає, що ознаками адміністративного акту є: адресний, індивідуальний характер; акт стосується конкретного суб’єкта правовідносин – фізичну або юридичну особу; видається (приймається) уповноваженим суб’єктом публічного адміністрування; спрямованість на реалізацію матеріальних норм адміністративного права; зовнішній характер дії; вектор на досягнення певних юридичних результатів для конкретних суб’єктів – встановлення, зміна або припинення їх прав та обов’язків. Зауважено, що адміністративний акт – це рішення або юридично значуща адресна дія індивідуального характеру, що має зовнішній вплив та видається (приймається) уповноваженим суб’єктом публічного адміністрування, спрямована на реалізацію матеріальних норм адміністративного права та досягнення певних юридичних результатів для конкретних суб’єктів – встановлення, зміна або припинення їх прав та обов’язків.

Towards a Design Process for the Sociolinguistic Corpus of Spoken Saudi Arabic
Authors: Mobarki Yahya
Published: September 2022

This paper has two main goals. First, it discusses how the availability as well as the accessibility of spoken corpora of English, for example, or any other language (e.g., Spanish) have contributed to the sociolinguistic studies of discourse markers (DMs). Looking forward to being informed by the content from books and other materials adopting some useful methods in the literature, the paper, as an initial step, delineates the significance of building a sociolinguistic corpus of spoken Saudi Arabic. Second, the paper explores three basic steps and procedures for the construction of a spoken Saudi Arabic corpus: (1) the collection of spoken sources and structures of data (e.g., talk shows, radio, oral narratives, field work, and sociolinguistic interviews), (2) the development of transcription protocols, and (3) the incorporation of metadata for this kind of sociolinguistic spoken corpus. The paper discusses some of the expected methodological challenges associated with the three discussed steps and procedures of corpus building (e.g., data collection and adding and/or modifying sociolinguistic categories).
Gapping in Modern Standard Arabic: An Agree-Based Analysis
Authors: Assiri Ahmad
Published: September 2022

This paper investigates the phenomenon of Gapping in coordination structures in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). It proposes an analysis based on Chomsky's (2005, 2008) Feature-Inheritance model of Agree (FI, henceforth). The analysis diverges from other works on coordination such as Deletion (e.g., Hankamer,1979; Wilder, 1994), Low VP Coordination and VP-Ellipsis (e.g., Toosarvandani, 2013), and Low vP Coordination followed by an Across-the-Board (ATB) movement (Johnson, 2009); instead, it analyzes coordination in MSA as a binary relation where every coordinated conjunct is a full CP, and the conjunction is the head of a ConjP. The analysis uses semantic as well as syntactic explanation for Gapping in MSA, thus rendering the need for a distinct structure for coordination unnecessary.
Modality and the Evaluative Schema
Authors: Al-Zahrani Mohammad
Published: September 2022

Linguistic investigations on Hijazi Arabic modal elements have only considered a small class of modals classified under the three domains of modality, and consequently assigned different places in the hierarchy within the Principles and Parameters syntactic approach (P&P) (Chomsky, 1981, 1986) along with insights of Chomsky's Minimalist Program (MP) (Chomsky, 1995, 1999, 2000). The current paper investigates some other HA expressions that evaluate the speaker's attitudes, opinions and judgments from another perspective. It adopts the evaluative schema suggested by Heine (1993) and characterized by the form "it is X to/that Y" where X stands for the evaluative component expressing the speaker's judgement, and Y is the main prediction occurring in the complement selected by X. The purpose of the study is twofold. First, it presents the most common HA expressions that convey the speaker's evaluation towards a proposition using Heine's evaluative schema structure "it is X to/that Y". Second, since Heine's (1993) purpose does not explore the syntax of the evaluative structure, the paper explicates the components of Heine's structure in light of the syntactic studies on HA clauses within the generative syntax theory. The findings show that the evaluative components in the present study belong to different classes occurring in a CP clause. They may be preceded by a realized expletive subject, or by its phonetically null equivalent, and select for CP complements. This work should contribute to the field of HA modality in particular and enhance the discussion of the evaluative schema, in general.
The effect of the science of reading the Qur’an on memorizing the eloquent Arab voice, and the efforts of the Qur’an scholars in that, An example of that studied the exits of letters and their attributes
Authors: Sulaimani Wasim
Published: September 2022

It is well-known that phonological studies have become elaborate and comprehensive nowadays. Modern Arabic phonological studies are adopting the Western’s approach in this field. This paper demonstrates impact of the efforts of Tajweed scholars and Quran reciters, who exerted great efforts to serve Arabic phonology. They carefully studied it while others ignored it, preserved it while others forgot it, and precisely mastered it while others neglected it. Consequently, those scholars preserved this knowledge, and its concepts became known. Thus, they were known as its masters, and this knowledge was known as their specialty . This paper examines how the science of Arabic phonology began among Arabic language and Tajweed scholars, and then how it reached Tajweed scholars . Moreover, it studies efforts of Tajweed scholars and reciters of the Quran to serve the Arabic language by carefully studying concepts and development of Arabic phonology as well as studying its scholars’ achievements . The most important issue the paper considers is the impact of those scholars in respect of preserving the ancient eloquent Arabic phonic system and making it audibly understandable until present time. In addition, it examines how this phonic system has been transferred by generation after generation until it has reached us with its precise rules, and firm principles, as well as how the Quran is still recited according to the rules of the noble Arabic language, the original tongue of the Quran revelation. Finally, the paper discusses the most important results of this examination, which are related to confirming the efforts of those scholars and the service they offered to the Arab nation whereby their Arabic tongue and language are preserved. It also refers to some recommendations that may complement the efforts of those scholars. Allah is sought for giving help and success.

Dialogue in Islam
Authors: Kurucan Ahmet , Kasım Erol Mustafa
Published: September 2022

This book gives a concise, readable introduction to the relationship between Islam and dialogue. Drawing on the Qur’an, the Sunna and Islamic history it demonstrates that dialogue is an integral part of the very fabric of Islam, dispelling popular misconceptions. Contemporary realities make intercultural dialogue a pressing human concern. Globalisation is swiftly turning the world into a global village, with groups of different cultures increasingly living in close proximity. Personal experience and the media make us aware both of the potential richness of such situations and of the scope for discrimination, enclavisation, mutual resentment and extremism. Dialogue is frequently cited as a means through which diverse societies can address intergroup tension and draw effectively on the great resource of diverse perspectives in addressing shared problems such as economic disaster and environmental crisis. In considering personal engagement with dialogue a committed Muslim will inevitably ask, “What does Islam have to say about dialogue?” In this book, accessible to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, Ahmet Kurucan and Mustafa K. Erol provide a concise introduction to the question, exploring relevant material in the Qur’an and the Sunna and examples of the application of these sources in Islamic history. In a helpful question and answer format and a readable style, they demonstrate that dialogue is a part of the fabric of Islam, required by the God-given innate disposition of human beings, and by fundamental Islamic principles of conduct derived from mainstream, long-established understanding of the commands of the Qur’an and Sunna. The authors also address elements of Islamic sources and traditional interpretation sometimes taken as contradicting the case for dialogue in Islam, such as verses of the Qur’an warning against friendships with ‘Jews and Christians’, or speaking of killing unbelievers, the traditional view that apostasy merits the death penalty, and certain interpretations of the concept of jihad. They thereby dispel popular misconceptions of Islam’s teachings, revealing the religion’s essential commitment to good neighbourliness, peace and fairness. By examining the meaning of dialogue they also reveal that it in no way requires participants to compromise their own beliefs and values.
The Effect of Magnetic Field on the Thermodynamic Properties of Three-Dimensional GaAs Quantum Dot
Authors: Al Shorman M. M.
Published: September 2022

The problem of parabolically single three-dimensional semiconductor GaAs quantum dot in the presence of an external magnetic field and including the spin of the electron is studied using canonical formalism. The energy spectrum is obtained as a function of temperature and magnetic field. It is observed that the system tends to absorb the largest amount of heat at critical values of the magnetic field which depends on the temperature. A schottky-like anomaly in heat capacity is observed at low temperature, while at high temperature it converges rapidly and saturates. It was also found that the entropy is inversely proportional to the magnetic field strength, also entropy showed exciting behavior at low temperature, a shoulder is observed which becomes curvier when the magnetic field decreases. However, at high temperature, entropy increases monotonically with temperature and becomes essentially independent of the magnetic field. The substantial effect of magnetic field on the magnetic properties of quantum dot is observed at low temperature. It is shown that, magnetization increases significantly at low temperature and shows strong dependence on magnetic field, while its magnitude increases as the temperature increases and reduces to zero regardless the value of magnetic field strength. In addition, at low temperature susceptibility peaks and is found to be paramagnetic and at high temperature the diamagnetic state is found to be a favored state of the system and susceptibility becomes completely independent of magnetic field. It is also shown that for a fixed value of temperature, susceptibility increases rapidly with magnetic field and beyond a critical value of magnetic field, the increase becomes much slower, susceptibility exhibits a crossing behavior, and magnetization shows a significant drop as the magnetic field increases. So far, no study has been made in literature on the effect of magnetic field on the thermal and magnetic properties of three-dimensional quantum dot.
Macroeconomic Instability and Terrorism Nexus; Empirical Evidence in Case of Pakistan
Authors: Jabeen Hafsa , Naz Ayesha
Published: September 2022

The current study is an attempt to analyze the association between macroeconomic instability and terrorism in Pakistan over the period of 1970 to 2020. Six important variables are taken as a proxy to measure macroeconomic instability which includes external debt, budget deficit, trade deficit, real effective exchange rate (REER), inflation and unemployment. Results indicate that there exists a long run cointegration relationship between the indictors of macroeconomic instability and terrorism. FMOLS is employed to obtain the estimates and it reveals that budget deficit and external debt is negatively associated with terrorism. It indicates that government expenditures on different project such as infrastructure create economic opportunities, therefore, reduces terrorism. Furthermore, welfare programmes also improve the performance of socioeconomic variables that translates into harmonized environment which lessens violence. The variable of trade deficit, inflation and unemployment has positive impact on terrorism while REER is insignificant. In context of trade deficit, higher imports results in job loss of domestic industries, hence, it hits the vulnerable groups. Therefore, the opportunity cost of life of these groups reduces and it increases the probability to become a part of terrorist activities. Inflation also pushes the vulnerable groups in poverty by reduces the purchasing power and unemployed individuals are also easy target to get involve themselves in acts of aggression. This study also constructs the macroeconomic instability index including the six variables through principal component analysis (PCA). Results of this model show that macroeconomic instability index and GDP has positive effect on terrorism. In case of GDP, the plausible reason could be uneven income distribution that increases terrorist activities. For the policy implications, government need to divert the resources from non-productive to productive uses through the investment in such projects which has direct and indirect impact on the welfare. In this way deprived group will enjoy economic perks and engage themselves in productive activities rather than becoming a helping hand in terrorism.

Constructing Gendered Identities and Agency through Classroom Discourse in a Foreign Language Learning Context
Authors:   Assistant Professor of TEFL, University of Nizwa, Oman, Osman Dr. Osman Hassan
Published: September 2022

This study investigates constructing gendered identities and agency through classroom discourse in a foreign language context by drawing on data collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations in two Foundation Institutes in the Arabian Gulf. Informed by poststructural feminism, Foucault’s (1972) power relations, and Butler’s (2004) performativity theories, the article investigates how students’ behaviors in the Gulf tertiary classroom affect their academic performance and their personality construction. The findings suggest that the students’ gendered identities were shaped as an effect of their cultural construction, which remarkably affected the way they learn. The findings also illustrate how modern education has a positive influence on learners as a means to mitigate gender sensitivity issues inside the classroom. These findings have implications for educators and curriculum designers that the learner’s identities and agency must be acknowledged in the first place, and the prior knowledge of gender influence on learning can enhance the educational process to be more effective.
Improve for better use: exploitation potential, advances and gaps in the conservation and breeding of Hancornia speciosa – A review
Authors: Morais Gabriela Corrêa , Resende Rafael Tassinari , Chaves Lázaro José
Published: September 2022

Amidst the flora richness of the Brazilian Cerrado, a group of fruit species widely consumed by local communities stands out. Hancornia speciosa Gomes (mangaba tree or mangabeira), a native fruit tree, arouses the interest of the agro-industrial sector, but has been suffering from the advances of anthropogenic activities in its areas of natural occurrence. This review aims to present the main aspects related to the biology, ecology and exploitation potential of H. speciosa, as well as the advances and gaps in efforts for its conservation and breeding. The mangaba tree is found with greater incidence in areas covered by the Cerrado biome, in addition to the coastal plateaus and coastal lowlands of the Northeast of Brazil. Older botanical classifications suggest the existence of six botanical varieties for the species, with the exchange of pollen grains between any of them potentially viable. In 2020, Brazil produced the equivalent of 1933 tons of mangaba, which can be consumed fresh or processed and has a high nutritional value and important pharmacological properties. Accessions of H. speciosa are safeguarded ex situ, in vivo, by research institutions and public universities in the North, Northeast and Midwest regions. Although there are no commercial cultivars so far, some germplasm collections have already managed to select candidates for parents with emphasis on productivity and fruit quality. The food and pharmacological potential of H. speciosa here described and the continuous exploration and degradation of its natural habitats make efforts related to its conservation and breeding pertinent. Such activities will allow the maintenance of its genetic resources, as well as the expansion of its production and consumption chains beyond the local scale.

The Narrative Symptoms and Cultural Context of "Involution"-- Taking College Student Group As an Example
Authors: Cai Yifei
Published: September 2022

In recent years, "involution" has transformed from an obscure sociological term to a phenomenal buzzword. In the context of "involution", the general public, especially college students, widely expresses anxiety and inferiority complex, the helplessness of "forced involution", the behavior of "pseudo-active life" and even the alienation of interpersonal interaction. These are concentrated expressions of the narrative symptoms of "involution". As a product of semantic transmutation and new media information exchange, it has become a network discourse linking college students and reflecting a specific cultural context. Taking the college student group as an example, from the perspectives of sociology, psychology and communication, this paper combines the questionnaire research to sort out the narrative symptoms and the cultural context of "involution", explore the reasons behind it and propose strategies to ease it, which is conducive to providing valuable information for the public who are widely affected by "involution" nowadays. It is also a theoretical tool for explaining and reflecting on many social phenomena in China.
