Contribution of Design Thinking to Leadership Outcome
Authors: Lamaa Youssef , Baroudi Noujoud 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article explores the various types of leadership used in Lebanese small and medium-size enterprises (SME s). The purpose is to define the roots of the commercial leadership problems in Lebanon and to identify ways to improve business outcomes, taking as a reference point a human-centered management approach called Design Thinking (DT). The article investigates whether a DT approach can contribute to better leadership. An inductive qualitative approach has been used to conduct research into this question, with data collected by means of semi-structured interviews with Lebanese SME leaders. Content analysis and lexical and thematic approaches show that there are two dominant issues in Lebanese leadership: a complete denial of employees’ right to access decision making; and an incomplete human-centered management approach, one showing a lack of empathy and an absence of a performance evaluation process.
Saudi-Iranian Relations

Published: October 2024

Abstract
After nearly seven years of severing diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and after nearly two decades of deteriorating relations between the two countries, China succeeded in bringing both parties together to restore their relations that could open a new phase in the relations among countries of the Gulf region in particular, and the Middle East in general, which will affect the political, economic and humanitarian scene and put an end to the sharp deterioration of the region since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, which contributed in worsening the Saudi-Iranian relations, and led the Middle East into wars, violence and the spread of terrorism, noting that the region might need decades to get out of its economic, social and political repercussions.
Academic Historiographic Remedies of Colonialist Images of Egypt’s Nationalist Party
Authors: Salem Ahmed Ali 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article does not attempt to outline the history of Egypt’s Nationalist Party since its foundation by Mustafa Kamil in 1907; rather, it demonstrates the colonialist nature of early British narratives, then discusses the counternarratives of contemporary Egyptian nationalist leaders, and analyzes the emergence of academic narratives from Egyptian and Western academic historians. The article argues that the image of the Nationalist Party in Western academia has moved away from the defamation of early British colonialist writers, with a favorable image prevailing among Egyptian academic historians since 1952. Politicians and historians searching for inspiring nationalist personalities, particularly during the self-criticism after the Arab defeat in the 1967 war, revived the Nationalist Party leaders. This favorable image has survived several dramatic changes in ideology of successive ruling regimes and has become so popular that politicians of all orientations often use it to serve their political interests.
Gulf Reconciliation 2021
Authors: Al-Zaidi Mufeed 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
After the American occupation of 2003 and the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Iraq faced many challenges including in its foreign relations. It sought to overcome these, especially with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), in light of its confrontation with terrorism, sectarianism, and security deterioration. This state of affairs continued until 2014 when Iraqi-Gulf relations witnessed a remarkable normalization in various political, security and economic fields, culminating in the “Gulf reconciliation” in January 2021 when the GCC succeeded in achieving reconciliation with Qatar, at the “Al-Ula Summit” held in Al-Ula in northern Saudi Arabia. The article examines Gulf reconciliation in 2021 and its implications for the future of Iraqi-Gulf relations and puts forward a hypothesis based on the fact that positive Iraqi-Gulf relations contribute to achieving a state of security and stability for Iraq, and the GCC as a whole. This will lead to improving Iraq’s relations with the countries of the region after suffering from a state of instability for the past two decades. Achieving Gulf reconciliation will plausibly help in building positive relations and further develop them in the future, helping to reduce regional conflict, and preserve Iraq’s unity and sovereignty as an important country in the Gulf regional order.
A Comprehensive Model for Innovation Ecosystems
Authors: Toth Csilla , Hary Andras 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Research on innovation ecosystems is mostly approached from the point of view of institution-oriented aspects, which typically focus on the structural elements of innovation systems. However, this perspective has limitations to describe a really functioning innovation system, as it does not take into account its complex nature of dynamics and the functional features.
The authors run research on models of innovation ecosystems based on complexity theory principles. The presented perspective, based on complexity theory, takes into account not only the structural and the complex but also the dynamic feature of the innovation ecosystems, still using the triple helix approach as a basis. The objective of the article is to present a system model framework for innovation ecosystems, that can be used for development of technology and science parks management models.
The approach of the research is based on literature review and discussion of relevant results, followed by explanation and concluding a possible innovation ecosystem framework model, finally demonstrated its interpretation through a specific case. In its first part, the article gives a general overview on complex systems from point of related findings on innovation ecosystems. Based on literature review, the preliminary analysis of the authors in the subject is given. Then, the relevant model features are described, then and the proof of the concept is explained according to the research. The descriptive features of complex systems based on the referenced papers are used to interpret the proposed model.
The main outcome of the article is a comprehensive innovation ecosystem model as a tool to understand and analyse such systems based on actors, functions and key factors. The authors demonstrated in the article that features of complex systems not only help describing innovation ecosystems but also support defining key model elements. An empiric case of ZalaZONE Technology Park was shown related to the presented innovation ecosystem model.
Finally, the next steps of the model development are outlined and advice is concluded for application of the model in the practice and in further research.
The novelty of the article is pointing out that the simple model of triple helix and the complexity approach as a view for modelling the real circumstances, can be well-combined to outline a comprehensive model for innovation ecosystems.
Partial or complete replacement of soybean meal with black soldier fly larvae meal improves feed efficiency in laying hens between 22 to 30 weeks of age

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The European Commission recently authorised the inclusion of insect meal in poultry feed. Black soldier fly larvae meal (BSF) has comparable nutritional value to soybean meal (SBM) and higher calcium content, making it an attractive alternative protein source for laying hens While a few studies have explored this objective, inconsistent results have been reported, likely due to variations in hen age, breed, husbandry systems, and sunflower meal composition across studies, making it difficult to draw clear conclusions. We hypothesised that partial or complete replacement of SBM with BSF has no adverse effects on egg production and quality in laying hens at the initiation of laying (22-30 weeks of age). This study consisted of three dietary treatments and nine replicates per treatment. Diets were a control diet, and two diets containing 5% (BSF5%) and 10% (BSF10%). The experimental unit was a pen (100 × 200 × 200 cm) of 14 Brown Nick laying hens resembling an aviary setting. We found that complete replacement of SBM with BSF10% in the diet of laying hens improved feed efficiency attributed to a lower feed intake in comparison to laying hens fed the BSF5% or the control diets, while production performance, body weight, and egg quality were maintained and the colour of the egg yolk increased. Therefore, replacing SBM with up to 10% BSF in brown laying hens in aviary pens at the initiation of laying had no adverse effects on production performance, chemical and physical characteristics, and sensory attributes of eggs. Maintaining production and egg quality with a lower intake of nutrients requires further investigation.
Symbolic and Cultural Indications of Motherhood Figurines in Ancient Arabia
Authors: El-Sayyad Emad Ahmed 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article deals with some aspects of the cultural influences that developed between Arabia and neighboring old-world cradles of civilization, as represented in motherhood figurines found buried with the dead. These reveal the skillfulness of the Arabian artist in shaping the figurines in such a way as to bring out feminine features. The article also demonstrates that the Arabian tribal system passed through two stages: an ancient primitive stage, during which women were socially dominant, as confirmed by the maternal statues; and another stage, prior to the coming of Islam, during which paternal hegemony dominated and maternal statues gradually began to disappear from the scene with the advent of the Nabataeans.
An Investigation of Convective Boundary Layer Depth and Entrainment Zone Properties Using Dual-Polarization Radar and Balloon-Borne Observations

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Previous work has shown that differential reflectivity ZDR observations from National Weather Service dual-polarization Doppler weather radars (WSR-88Ds) provide accurate estimates of convective boundary layer (CBL) depth when compared with depth estimates from 0000 UTC rawinsonde observations. We extend this work by launching small rawinsondes, called Windsonds, to study ZDR signals throughout the daytime hours. Results show that it can be difficult to identify CBL depth from ZDR alone when biological scatterers are absent. The exploration of other radar variables leads to the use of azimuthal ZDR variance to help in identifying CBL characteristics. A variable that combines both ZDR and azimuthal ZDR variance, called DVar, allows for improved signal identification using the quasi-vertical profile (QVP) method. Furthermore, the QVP channel width is found to be closely tied to the overall entrainment zone (EZ) structure. Results show that the centers and vertical extents of channels of reduced DVar in QVPs correlate well with sounding-observed CBL depth and EZ depth, respectively, across all stages of CBL development and in both clear and cloud-topped CBLs. The QVP approach tends to fail in identifying CBL and EZ depths when the vertical gradient in moisture above the CBL is small. Additionally, we compare the observed EZ depth to various EZ parameterizations and show that the parameterizations generally underestimate EZ depth. We conclude that the ability of WSR-88Ds to sample the CBL should be leveraged to increase our knowledge of CBL properties.

Significance Statement
The boundary layer is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere and influences many weather-related phenomena. During the day, sunlight warms the surface and the convective boundary layer (CBL) forms. Even though CBL characteristics are important for accurate weather forecasts, current methods of observing the CBL are severely lacking. This study investigates the potential of using dual-polarization weather radars to expand CBL observations. We also evaluate how well simplified CBL models predict certain CBL characteristics and how they could be improved in the future.
Short- and Medium-Range Predictability of Warm-Season Derechos. Part II: Convection-Allowing Ensemble Forecasts
Authors: Ribeiro Bruno Z. , Weiss Steven J. , Bosart Lance F. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study explores convection-allowing ensemble (CAE) forecasts of a subset of 24 warm-season (May–August) progressive derechos from 2012 to 2022. The derecho cases were stratified into low predictability and moderate predictability based on the performance of Storm Prediction Center’s Convective Outlooks. The Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) is used with a global mesh of varying horizontal resolution, with a 60-km spacing over most of the globe decreasing to a 3-km spacing where the derechos occurred. A 10-member ensemble was initialized at 0000 UTC from 5 days before the derecho (D5) to the day of the event (D1). The CAE is evaluated using objective metrics as well as subjective assessments of convective mode, coverage, initiation timing, and spatial displacement of simulated convection. The objective evaluation indicates that the MPAS CAE has skill in predicting severe wind gusts, even in the medium range (3–5 days before). The skill diminishes faster with lead time in low-predictability cases compared to that of moderate-predictability cases. Overall, more than half of the ensemble members generated a sustained, progressive bowing mesoscale convective system (MCS) on D1 in both low- and moderate-predictability cases, but the percentages decrease substantially for forecasts with progressively greater lead time. Furthermore, the environmental differences among ensemble members that produce bowing MCSs, multicell clusters, and supercells are minimal. These results indicate that correctly predicting sustained bowing MCSs prior to observed derechos is challenging for the MPAS CAE for lead times longer than 1–2 days, reflecting convective-scale complexity and predictability limits.

Significance Statement
This research evaluates the forecast capabilities of an ensemble modeling system with convection-allowing resolution in the prediction of derechos, which are convective events resulting in widespread wind damage. Our study reveals that these ensembles have skill in forecasting damaging wind gusts within both short-term (1–2 days before) and medium-term (3–5 days before) time frames, with the highest skill at shorter lead times. However, a limitation is found in representing the correct convective organization, which is important in derecho forecasting. The small differences in environments leading to diverse convective organizations suggest that storm-scale stochastic and other internal processes play a crucial role in convective evolution. These findings underscore the potential utility and weaknesses of medium-range convection-allowing ensembles as guidance for forecasters in predicting derechos.
Damage characterization of FRP embedded with different optical fibers under tensile load using acoustic emission and micrographic real-time inspection

Published: October 2024

Embedding optical fibers into fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) for composite health monitoring has attracted the interests of academia and industry recently though the impact of embedded optical fiber on FRP damage has not been clarified. In this study, the damage to the FRP structure caused by the embedded optical fibers was investigated. Five FRP samples incorporated with different types of optical fibers were subjected to tensile testing, and the crack initiation and propagation were in situ monitored using acoustic emission (AE) and micrographic inspection. After the AE signals were classified in terms of peak amplitude and peak frequency using K-means++ clustering, the damage progression from matrix cracking, fiber/matrix debonding, delamination, and fiber break were characterized. In-situ micrographic inspection clearly revealed the damage evolution around the embedded optical fiber. By correlating the stress-strain curves with the AE clustering and micrographic inspection results, it was verified that larger-diameter optical fibers reduce the modulus and ultimate strength of the FRP, while a good optical fiber/matrix interface mitigates these negative effects. The embedded optical fiber accelerated the crack propagation around it, leading to changes in the damage pattern. This phenomenon is the primary cause of FRP failure. Notably, polyimide-coated optical fibers with an outside diameter of 50 μm are ideal for embedded sensing as their incorporation into the matrix reduces the ultimate strength of FRP by only 1.8% with minimal impact on crack propagation.

Published: October 2024

This thesis presents the preparation of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)-based shape memory polymer composites (SMPC) (EVA/CuS) with near-infrared light photo-thermal response. The composites were prepared using EVA as the matrix material and copper sulphide (CuS) particles as the functional phase. The designability of SMPs was considered in the preparation of these composites. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of CuS, as a functional phase, enhanced the cross-linking degree and augmented the shape memory properties of EVA. Additionally, it served as a photo-thermal functional filler, imparting its photo-thermal properties. It can be observed that as the quantity of CuS particles incorporated into the EVA/CuS composite film increases, the photothermal conversion performance of the composite film improves, the shape fixation rate rises, and the rate of recovery of light-responsive shape memory accelerates. The temperature of the composites increased to 116.7°C in 20 s when the CuS addition was 2 wt% and the NIR light intensity was 0.5 W/cm2. At a NIR light intensity of 0.6 W/cm2, the “U” shape of the sample was restored to a straight state in 30 s, and the shape recovery rate reached 100%. In this experiment, optical near-infrared photostimulation-responsive EVA/CuS composites have been successfully prepared. These composites demonstrate the ability to achieve remote control and fast response of EVA shape memory behavior, offering a new avenue for the preparation of photo-responsive EVA-based shape memory materials.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) along with its possible risk factors in male Han Chinese patients with alcohol dependence (AD). Methods This retrospective, cross-sectional study included male patients with AD, classified into normal and low BMD groups according to bone densitometry T scores. Demographic and alcohol-related data, and routine laboratory parameters were compared between the two groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate risk factors associated with low BMD, and correlations between the T-score and demographic, alcohol-related, and routine laboratory data were evaluated. Results Among a total of 107 patients with AD included in the study, the prevalence of low BMD was 70.09% (75/107). Patients with low BMD were older, consumed more alcohol daily, and had higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and lower Ca2+ levels than patients with normal BMD. Regression analysis revealed that increased daily alcohol intake, low serum Ca2+ levels, high serum LDH levels, and comorbid hypertension was related to low BMD in patients with AD. Further correlation analysis revealed a positive association between T-score and serum Ca2+ levels. Conclusion Increased daily alcohol intake, low serum Ca2+ levels, high serum LDH levels, and comorbid hypertension may be risk factors for low BMD.

The study conducts a comprehensive analysis across 1-D, 2-D, and 2-D axisymmetric geometries, investigating temperature profiles, surface recession patterns, pyrolysis gas flow dynamics, and density fluctuations within the composite material. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the FEA technique in modeling complex multi-physical interactions associated with ablation phenomena. The carbon-phenolic composites, characterized by low thermal conductivity, high specific heat capacity, and substantial char yield, are shown to be particularly well-suited as ablative materials. The char layer formed during ablation acts as an additional insulating barrier, enhancing thermal protection. In a specific case study, a 2 cm thick composite laminate was subjected to an intense heat flux of 200 W/cm2 for 180 s. The results demonstrate that the Thermal Protection System (TPS) effectively maintains the back face temperature below 350 K for the initial 60 s under uniform heat flux conditions. However, beyond this period, the back face temperature gradually increases, reaching 1698 K at the end of the 180-s simulation. These insights into the material’s thermal performance under severe heat exposure conditions provide valuable guidance for applications requiring effective heat management and thermal protection.
