Adolescent Boys’ Response to Gender Equitable Programming in Rural Upper Egyptian Villages: Between ‘Ayb and Haram
Authors: Zibani Nadia , Brady Martha 
Published: March 2020

In the Middle East, as elsewhere, gender roles are transformed in response to a number of influences. The changing socioeconomic conditions in much of the Arab world have created economic disparities, and, at the same time, have meant an increased participation of women in the labor force in many countries. These changes, along with the overall increase in female education, have threatened the “traditional” organization of households and are beginning to redefine female space and boundaries (Ali 1996).
Masculine Identity in Hoda Barakat’s The Stone of Laughter
Authors: Katawi Mona 
Published: March 2020

Since masculinity is “historically changing and politically fraught”any attempt at defining it remains deficient and incomplete. As R.W. Connell puts it, masculinities “come into existence at particular times and places, and are always subject to change” (Connell, 3). In Lebanon, the civil war had an enormous impact on the manner masculinity is perceived. The war polarized people according to their gender; the masculine ideal was reflected in courageous men killing and fighting inthe name of patriotism, whereas women were frequently associated with passivity.
Thorny Issues and Perilous Coalitions
Authors: M. Ali Nada Mustafa 
Published: March 2020

When people [at the National Democratic Alliance conference in Asmara in 1995] started talking about democratic laws, the issue of women was raised. Of course [a member of a sectarian party] jumped up and said “so women’s [issues] have come here as well? Just like that from the start? So what do women have to do with that issue? Why do you want to mess up the story?” A party representative actually said that! (Interview with a former member of the NDA Executive Office and delegate to theAsmara 1995 Conference).
Four Women Relate their Experience in Combat During the War
Authors: Al-Omari Darine 
Published: March 2020

The war is still a part of each and every one of us. Many endured its brutality, be it due to instability, death, displacement, destruction or the hardship of ensuring dailybread. Many remember it with a shy feeling of nostalgia sometimes, including us, the youth, who were fledglings at the time: how fun were the nights in the shelter when neighbors gathered together; how nice it was not to go to school and instead spend the whole day playing.

“The gender debate for me has deepened the whole question of power. As a man I feel that there are many dimensions of power where I am not in a position ofpower. Yet in terms of gender, I am [powerful]; and I am not conscious of that as I am not interested in playing power games, but I realize (with hindsight that I am actually located within a position of power.

Women in Egyptian Civil Society
Authors: Kandil Amani 
Published: March 2020

An understanding of women’s participation in civil society in Egypt is important in light of several developing trends. Egypt is currently witnessing some movement in the direction of democratic transformation. Since women constitute half of the population, it is essential to understand the extent of their participation in the organizations of civil society. This is especially true since indicators on women’s political participation in Egypt over the last two decades (both as voters and candidates) indicate a decrease in female candidates and voters.

The first and only time I saw her dance on the stage was in 1950 at the summertime Badia's Casino, in Giza just below where the Sheraton stands today. A few days later I saw her at a vegetable stand in Zamalek, as provocative and beautiful as she had been a few nights earlier, except this time she was dressed in a smart lavender colored suit with high heels.
Harassment in the Workplace, Does it Exist in Lebanon?
Authors: Sfeir Myriam 
Published: March 2020

Confusion may be inevitable when it comes to personal relations: so much of it is based on nuance, anyway. But it's also true that sexual harassment law, perhapsmore than most, is constantly evolving as each new case comes before the courts and establishes new precedents. Thus, what today would be a perfectly obvious (and winnable) case of harassment of a woman loses her job because she won't sleep with her boss was far from obvious to judges in the early I 970s.

Published: March 2020

According to an ancient Chinese proverb, "if you give a hungry man a meal, you will fill his belly for only one day; but if you teach him how to fish , he will be able to feed himself for the rest of his life." The proverb reminds us of the wisdom of self-sufficiency and the necessity of long-term planning to solve or prevent problems.
Factors which Assist Women in Reaching Centers of Power and Leadership Formerly Dominated by Men
Authors: Muayyad Sabah Khalil Ibrahim 
Published: March 2020

This study addresses the reasons for women's absence from various ranks ofdecision-making in the private and public sectors, and examines possibilities forovercoming the main impediments which affect women's employment and progress in reaching centers of power and leadership. My attempt to address this important issue relies upon field studies prepared by the Bahraini Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in 1983. In addition, this study also relies upon personal investigations concerning the status of women workers in private corporations in order to inquire about the problems which confront and hinder them. I also surveyed some comprehensive field studies undertaken by a bank in northern Canada on the status of women professionals in that bank and the impediments which hindered their rise to leadership positions. In this, we can easily note considerable similarities between the problems which confront Bahraini, Arab and foreign women alike in the corporate world.

MYC copy number and mRNA expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients exposed to ionizing radiation due to the Chornobyl NPP accident
Authors: Bilous N. , Abramenko I. , Chumak A. , Dyagil I. , Martina Z. 
Published: March 2020

Summary. Some clinical and biological features indicating an unfavorable course of the disease were found in ionizing radiation (IR) — related chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. The MYC proto-oncogene is considered to contribute to CLL pathogenesis. Increased MYC copy number is associated with poor prognosis in CLL. Aim: To investigate the frequency of MYC gene copy number amplification in IR-exposed CLL patients and relate the findings to the MYC mRNA levels, the presence of unfavourable prognosis mutations (TP53, SF3B1, NOTCH1), and patient's outcome. Materials and Methods: The analysis of MYC copy number was carried out by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 70 IR-exposed CLL patients. The MYC mRNA expression was measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Results: Increased MYC gene copy number was present in 5.7% of cases. There was a statistically significant association between increased MYC copy number and increased MYC mRNA (p < 0.014). Additionally, somatic deletion in MYC locus was found in one patient. Most of patients (80%) with detected MYC aberrations were previously untreated, suggesting that these lesions might occur early in the course of the disease. The MYC aberrations were found mutually exclusive with high risk TP53 and SF3B1 mutations, while one case was identified, where MYC amplification and NOTCH1 mutation coincided simultaneously. Regarding clinical outcome, the MYC aberrations were associated with a shorter time to first treatment (3 vs 25 months, p = 0.008) as well as reduced overall survival (60 vs 139 months). Conclusion: Our data suggest that MYC aberrations might be an early event in IR-related CLL and contribute to aggressive disease development in the absence of high risk TP53 and SF3B1 mutations.
Correlation and path analysis in mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae)
Authors: Hasan Md Ariful , Rahman Sawdagar Mahfuzar , Ahsan Md Kamrul 
Published: March 2020

The correlation and path analysis for nine quantitative characters in sixty five varieties of silkworm, Bombyx mori L. have been investigated. Out of all contributing characters studied expected cocoon yield 100 dfls (ECY) showed significant positive associations with majority of the characters except filament size (FS) both at the phenotypic and genotypic levels. It suggested a strong association of these traits with yield. The direct and indirect effects of the component characters of ECY at phenotypic and genotypic levels were obtained separately. Here surviving percentage of larvae (SPL) and cocoon weight (CW) showed positive and high direct effect which indicated a true relationship as obtained from correlation values. Other characters showed positive correlations but the direct effects were either negative or negligible. In such a situation indirect causal factors are to be considered simultaneously

Authors: Akter T Al 
Published: March 2020

The performance of Trichogrammaevanescens Westwood egg parasitoid againstAngoumois grain moth, Sitotrogacereallela. (Olivier) was investigated during theperiod from January 2011 to May 2011. The results showed that the highest per cent ofadult parasitoid emergence (98.94%) from parasitized eggs of S. cerealella was by T.evanescens. The duration of adult parasitoid emergence varied from 7-8 days. Thelongevity of T. evanescens adult that emerged from parasitized eggs varied from 3-4days. In consideration of rate of parasitization by using different number of parasitoids,the highest (98.00%) parasite eggs were recorded from 50 pairs of parasitoids whichwas statistically identical (94.25%) with 35 pairs and followed (93.25%, 92.75% and92.25%) by 25, 20 and 15, pairs respectively. The rate of parasitism increased withincreased number of parasitoids. A positive correlation exists between per centparasitism and adult parasitoid emergence from parasitized eggs. It reveals that the T.evanescens has potential in the biological control of Angoumois grain moth, of S.cerealella.

Gravel Deposits Of Dauki-Piyain River Bed And Surrounding Flood Plains: A Case Study
Authors: Sarker Md Nuruddin 
Published: March 2020

The Dauki-Piyain river is the major source of gravels in Jaflong area which is located on the alluvial plain south of the Khasi-Jainta Hills. Jaflong gravels comprise quartzite, granite, gneiss, amphibolite, basalt, sandstone and conglomerate. The gravels are mostly fresh and hard and can be used as good construction materials. The deposition of gravels is controlled by the frequency and intensity of water-flow in the Dauki-Piyain river forming the Jaflong quarry. The Dauki river is constantly changing its course. Controlling the river course and keeping its tract clear from debris will make the replenishment of the gravel deposit steady. The main economic activities of the local people are mostly dependent on the gravel and sand extraction business from Jaflong quarry. It is found that about 30,00,000 cubic meters of gravel from 200 hectares areas are extracted per year from the Dauki-Piyain river of Jaflong. The average revenue collected by the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh from this location stands at approximately 30.00 million taka per year.

<b>Presencia del Mediterráneo y Capri en la escritura de Neruda</b> // The Presence of the Mediterranean and Capri in Neruda's Writing
Authors: Donoso Aceituno Arnaldo Enrique 
Published: March 2020

En este artículo se analiza la presencia material del Mediterráneo y la Isla de Capri en un conjunto acotado de poemas y memorias del poeta chileno Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), a través de las nociones de territorio y agenciamiento, desarrolladas por Deleuze y Guattari en Mil mesetas. En el imaginario nerudiano, el Mediterráneo adquiere la categoría de espacio vital durante el periodo europeo de exilio político del poeta (1950-1952). La escritura exiliar de Neruda es una “escritura en movimiento” que a su paso agencia con los territorios y naturalezas mediterráneas. Nos interesa la escritura mediterránea producida en relación con la estadía de Pablo Neruda y Matilde Urrutia en Capri, en 1952, específicamente, los poemarios Los versos del Capitán (1952), Las uvas y el viento (1954), La barcarola (1967), y algunos fragmentos de las memorias Confieso que he vivido (1974) y Para nacer he nacido (1978). Abstract This article analyses the material presence of the Mediterranean and the Isle of Capri in a bounded set of poems and memoirs written by the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), from the notions of territory and assemblage developed by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus. In Nerudian imagery, the Mediterranean acquires the category of vital space during the poet’s period of political exile in Europe (1950-1952). Neruda’s writing during his exile is a “writing in movement” which assembles, in its path, with the Mediterranean territories and nature. We are concerned with the Mediterranean writing produced in relation to Pablo Neruda and Matilde Urrutia’s stay on Capri, in 1952, specifically the poem collections Los versos del Capitán (1952), Las uvas y el viento (1954), La barcarola (1967), and some excerpts from the memoirs Confieso que he vivido (1974) and Para nacer he nacido (1978).
