Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Extremely preterm infants are peculiar in regard to their risk of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In this study, we aim to study insults that may affect extremely preterm infants, including prenatal, at birth, and postnatal insults and their effect on the development of ROP. METHODS: This study used the data from Prematurity and Respiratory Outcomes Program (PROP). All included infants with a gestational age of 23 0/7 to 28 6/7 weeks using best obstetrical estimate. We included stressful events and/or modifiable variables that may affect the normal development. We used multiple regression analysis in our statistical analysis. RESULTS: We included a total of 751 infants in our study. The mean birth weight for the included sample was 915.1 (±232.94) grams. 391 (52.1%) Infants were diagnosed with ROP. We found a significant negative correlation between ROP development and birth weight ( p < 0.001), with a correlation coefficient of – 0.374. We found that the need for prophylactic indomethacin (OR 1.67), the occurrence of air leaks (OR: 2.35), ventilator-associated pneumonia (OR: 2.01), isolated bowel perforations (OR: 3.7), blood culture-proven sepsis (OR: 1.5), other infections (OR: 1.44), and receiving ventricular shunt (OR: 2.9) are significantly associated with the development of ROP. CONCLUSIONS: We believe this study included the largest number of factors studied in the largest sample of extremely premature infants. We recommend a screening program for extremely preterm infants that takes into account a scoring system with higher scores for complicated condition.

Like her life, Egyptian writer Ahdaf Soueif’s fiction spans the cultural divide, moving between Europe and the Arab World, particularly Britain and Egypt. The other main divide she addresses is that between man and woman. After publishing her first novel, In the Eye of the Sun, in 1992, Soueif was singled out by Edward Said among the new generation of Arabs writing in English for her ability to dissect sexual politics.

A Feminist Autobiography; Teta, Mother and Me: An Arab Woman's Memoir
Authors: Kamal Hala 
Published: March 2020

Jean Said Makdisi's Teta, Mother and Me: An Arab Woman's Memoir is a feminist memoir of personal inquiry and historical research. It opens with a “Prelude” which tells the story of the process of writing the book, and Jean Makdisi's concern with form and genre appears from the opening lines of the book. By pointing out the time distance between the decision to write and the act of writing, she is indirectly referring to generic issues related to memoir as a literary genre. Moreover, the “Prelude” situates Jean Makdisi's identification with her mother and grandmother (Teta), as well as her intention to explore and connect the lives of three generations of women in her family, which she expresses by saying: “I was going to write a loving double biography of my mother and grandmother from the vantage point of my own unsettling experiences as a modern Arab woman”

The empowerment of women has been an ongoing process for over six decades, since the establishment of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1946. Shortly afterthat date, the tragic exodus of the Palestinians from their homeland took place, and the impact was tremendously devastating to Jordan and the Arab world at large. In the absence of human security, hope and the opportunity for good education were shattered. All Jordanian girls who had been sent to Palestine for their matriculation level of education had to leave their schools abruptly and returnhome with utter disappointment.

Good afternoon, Your Excellency, Mr. President, Members of the Board of LAU and Members of the LAU Chapter in Dubai. I really thank you for inviting me to be here to talk to you today about a subject that is very close to my heart — and that is business. I actually started my own business at a very young age — at the age of four. Yes, my mother discovered one day that I had a lot of coins and she askedme where I had gotten them from. I asked her, “If I tell you the truth will you spank me?” and she said, “No, please let me know.” So I told her that I was very clumsy in art class and I used to take the labels from the bottles of juice andsell them in the school and that’s how I made my money. She encouraged me and she really backed me up and that’s how I started in business.
Seeking Justice for Physical and Sexual Violence against Women in Lebanese Society
Authors: McCracken Mirella Abdel Sater 
Published: March 2020

Violence against women has no definition in Lebanese law. Domestic violence, defined as violence happening within a household and between members of a family, is ruled by the general articles of the Lebanese Penal Code. The Lebanese Penal Code has only a very few articles punishing acts of violence that cause bodily harm or injury (Articles 554-559 - Legislative Decree 340/NI dated March 1, 1943). These articles address physical violence that can occur between any individuals, strangers or relatives, at any place, whether in the street, in a bar or anywhere else. Penalty categories for injuries range from six months to ten years in jail if the injury leads to disfigurement or mutilation. In the first category, the penalties are not applicable if the charges are dropped by the victim. Indeed, the absence of a special law prohibiting domestic violence in Lebanon makes this crime almost beyond punishment.

Published: March 2020

In two months Rabiaa’s husband will be out of prison. He will be returning home, and she hopes that he will keep his word – and that he has really changed, and will no longer abuse her. This is not the first time he has made that promise. Rabiaa, 22, met her husband when her mother was hospitalized with a nervous breakdown, and he too was visiting a relative. Soon she learned that he was raised by an abusive father, and Rabiaa sympathized with him. She assumed that coming from similar backgrounds he would be as determined as she was to start a better life. They were soon married. Rabiaa dreamed of home sweet home, and of living happily ever after. Only it wasn’t going to be, and soon she was reliving her childhood, but this time the abuse came from her husband, instead of her father.

Masculinity, Manhood and Machismo in Radwan El-Kashef's Arak El-Balah
Authors: Hamdar Abir 
Published: March 2020

In a region where gender differences are deeply ingrained and sedimented within its social structure, it is no surprise that the rhetoric of masculinity and femininity has long been reified in various Arab cultural and literary productions. This rhetoric has also been projected in diverse forms and from various vantages. Moreover, while it is true that substantial studies have been devoted to the discourse of femininity, much still needs to be said about the manifestation of masculinity, manhood and machismo in modern/ postmodern Arab productions and publications.
Citizenship, Civil Society and Women in the Arab Region
Authors: Moghadam Valentine M. 
Published: March 2020

As issues of citizenship and civil society have taken center-stage in recent years – partly as a result of the challenges of globalization, and partly as a result of democratic struggles in various parts of the world – the question of women’s citizenship has assumed prominence. Some feminist scholars stress the longstanding struggle of women for rights and empowerment (Lister, 1997; Narayan, 1997; Yuval-Davis, 1999). Others argue that the autonomous, rights-bearing citizen is a Western construct, and that citizenship and civil society are patriarchal and capitalistic constructs (Pateman, 1988). Nevertheless, rights, citizenship, civil society, and democratization are increasingly in demand in developing countries, including the Arab world. For women, citizenship concerns social standing, political participation, and national membership. Empirically, women’s citizenship is reflected in their legal status, in access to employment and income, in the extent of their participation in formal politics, and in the formation of women’s organizations.
The 1998 Proposed Civil Marriage Law in Lebanon
Authors: El-Cheikh Nadia M. 
Published: March 2020

The personal status of the Lebanese is governed by the respective laws of the country's eighteen recognized religious communities. Article 9 of the Lebanese constitution says that the State shall "safeguard for the citizens of whatever religion or sect, due respect to their personal status code and their spiritual interests.'" In addition to the Christian and Jewish communities, the Lebanese constitution recognizes three main Muslim communities, the Sunni, the Shiite and the Druze. Each of these communities possesses its own jurisdiction and sole competence in all matters of personal status. Personal status rules are primarily shari 'a based in that shari'a courts have jurisdiction with regard to the Sunni Hanafi and Shiite Ja'farl sects while the Druze have a Codified Personal Status Law promulgated in 1948 and amended in 1959. The various confessional laws, both Muslim and Christian, contain fundamental differences. Complications arising from having a variety of laws regulating the same issue is particularly acute in the context of marriage between persons belonging to different sects. In order to provide some remedy to this situation, the president of the republic presented the cabinet with a detailed draft of a facultative civil personal status code in February 1998.

Published: March 2020

This research was conducted to document behavioral patterns of the barking deer, Muntiacus muntjak (Zimmermann 1780) in captivity. All-occurrence and ad libitum sampling methods were used opportunistically to observe 15 barking deer at Dhaka Zoo in Bangladesh from April to November, 2011.A total of 54 behavioral patterns of the barking deer was recorded and described under 13 major heads. Of which, 41 behavioral patterns were similar for males and females and 13 were sex different. The highest observation was recorded for self-directed behaviors (21.55%) followed by consuming behaviors (20.84%), investigative behaviors (17.65%), scent markings and depositions (14.53%), relaxed states (13.98%), agonistic interactions (2.63%), foraging behaviors (2.31%), sexual behaviors (1.83%), submissive behaviors (1.66%), elimination (1.25%), movements (1.23%), vocalization (0.3%) and affinitive interactions (0.23%). The behavioral patterns were almost similar for male and female with several patterns showing variations. Females consumed food and took rest more frequently than males, who spent more time in foraging and movement. Males also showed higher frequency of sexual behaviors and less submissive behaviors. Environmental sniffing (n=792) was the most frequently encountered behavior and preaching (n=l) was the least. The present findings reveal that majority of the behaviors resemble that of other cervids, but nibbling and barking are unique to this species.

Organizing information objective is to disseminate the information objects effectively to the users. It is a complex but important task that uses elements such as the form and informational content of documents. Organized information is a prerequisite for an efficient organization. The goal of this study is to discuss the proposal of developing a system to organize protocol information from biological laboratories capable of managing protocol data. Research laboratories are examples of organizations that have a diverse and complex set of data that must be well organized. Their flow of information needs to be mapped identifying people, information sources, technology used as well as products and services. In this paper we describe the development of the FluxP system to organize information on protocols from a Biology Research Laboratory — The Animal Venoms and Toxins Laboratory (LVTA) from Federal University of Minas Gerais – Brazil. The following methodological procedures were adopted: technical visits, construction of a tool to manage the protocols (FluxP forms), categorization of the protocols used in the LVTA and experimental tests with 3 LVTA researchers. As a result, we highlight some features like: FluxP is able to manage protocol data making it simple to store and retrieve protocols to aid in the experimental work, increasing the reliability of experiments and helping reduce experimental errors. By establishing a central repository for protocols FluxP prevents protocols from being misplaced or lost and by categorizing them it makes simple to retrieve protocols based on keywords. The system is currently being used by LVTA to manage a collection of 50 protocols, and can be easily adapted for other laboratories.
