الإيقاع وصورة السخرية من المرأة في قصص أميرة بدوي
Authors: Hussain Muzhir Saleh 
Published: January 2023

مما لاشك فيه أن للسخرية إيقاعها الخاص وهي ظاهرة لها بعدها النقدي وأثرها الواضح في الحياة الأدبية وانعكاساتها على المجتمع، والقصة في الأدب العربي الحديث هي ترويح عن النفس، وبالتالي هي إيقاع التنبيه المخفي والهدف منه إصلاحي بحت، ويشكل الإيقاع السردي أساسا تبني عليه الأعمال القصصية باعتبارها جنسا إبداعيا, وتطور من خلاله ملامحها, وتعدل, بامتطائها سماتها التقليدية، والإيقاع في القصة يؤكد أنها جنس له جوامع مشتركة مع إيقاعات متعددة, تبرز صورته الكبرى وتحدد ملامحه العامة, وترسم له مسارات التجريب الممكنة في إيقاع الحياة، وألفينا القاصة أميرة بدوي قد تمكنت من المزج بين مكونات القصة والمجتمع بأسلوبها الهادئ الهادف من خلال الايقاع التراتبي، الذي يدفع بالسرد بحركة تقدمية هادفة، وبالتكرار والملل ومن خلال السخرية والتراخي، والتوتر الحاصل نتيجة عنهما، وتفتح بذلك آفاق جديدة للقارئ تمكنه من تحديد موقعه الأدبي، وقد انطلقت دراستي في البحث عن نتائج فحوا إيقاع الاتصال المباشر بين القاص ومجتمعه، واجعلنا المرأة نموذجا للمجتمع، ووضع يد التحليل على تقسيمات المرأة في المجتمع، ومستويات سلوكيتها، وعلاقتها بالوازع الإنساني من خلال الإيقاع السردي الذي يفرض ضابطا للحركة السردية.

نقد المعنى في حروف الجر عند الدكتور فاضل السامرائي (معاني النحو) أنموذجاً
Authors: Khedr Muhammad Yas , Taha Hassan Ali , Hammoud Fahad Khalaf Ali 
Published: January 2023

وقف الدكتور فاضل صالح السامرائي على معاني الحروف ورصدها بدقة ليبين لنا الدلالات الدقيقة معتمداً على السياق والمقام الذي ورد فيه الحرف, وقياسه في هذا كله المعنى فهو معني بإظهار المعنى, فكان لهذا التوجيه أثر كبير في الابتعاد عن آراء النحاة القدامى, فكانت آراؤه في معاني حروف الجر موجهة بحسب المعنى وفي أغلبها مخالفة لآراء النحاة كما في (إلى) فهي لا تخرج عن معنى الانتهاء, وتخصيص(التاء) بلفظ الجلالة, والجر عنده ليس بـ(رب) المحذوفة بل بـ(الواو), و(الكاف) ليست زائدة, و(من) عنده لعموم الابتداءات, فهذه الحروف موجهة عند السامرائي بحسب المعنى, وهو يريد إبقاء الحرف على معناه الأصلي, وعلى هذا فالبحث يدور على رأي السامرائي بعرضه أولاً ومن ثم سرد آراء النحاة لنتبين مدى قرب أو بعد السامرائي عنهم, والختام يكون بالتوفيق بين الآراء أو الترجيح لأحدهما على الآخر.

Authors: Ologele Ibrahim , Abolaji Gbadeyanka Salim 
Published: January 2023

Nigeria currently has more than 10 million children out of school and the school attacks and kidnappings have only made the situation worse. The study investigated psychosocial factors influencing pupil kidnapping as perceived by primary school teachers. The study adopted a descriptive research design of survey type. The study population comprised all primary school teachers in the study area. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to choose one hundred and thirty-five respondents who participated in the study. A researcher-structured questionnaire which was validated and tested for reliability was adopted for the study. A coefficient of 0.87r was obtained using the test-retest method. The instrument was administered by the researchers and three trained research assistants. Inferential statistics of chi-square used to analyse the hypotheses postulated for this study at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of this study revealed that youth unemployment influenced pupils' kidnapping because the calculated chi-square value of 61.23 was greater than the table value of 16.92 @ 0.05 alpha level, and religious fanaticism influenced pupils' kidnapping because the calculated chi-square value of 57.34 was greater than the table value of 16.92 @ 0.05 alpha level. The study concluded that the high rate of youth unemployment in our society influences pupils' kidnapping and misinterpretation of statements in holy books mislead some people to engage in kidnapping activity. The researchers recommend among others that the government at all levels should create more job opportunities for the youths graduating from school to reduce the number of young people engage in kidnapping activities due to their inability to secure employment.
Analysis of Roman Inggarden in Joko Pinurbo's Cyber Literature as Teaching Material for Writing Contextual-Based Poetry
Authors: Andriyana Andriyana 
Published: January 2023

Literature is inseparable from society in the process of its creation and content. The well-known opinion of Welek and Warren literary works is the social documentation that occurs in society. The form of social documentation in poetry was also carried out by Joko Pinurbo who wrote poems during the pandemic in cyber literature written in Republika and Detik. This study aims to uncover the value of contextuality with Roman Inggarden's theory and its relevance as teaching material for writing contextual-based poetry (CTL). This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with research steps (1) Looking for Joko Pinurbo's poems in the Mass Media (2) Compiling data, and (3) Data analysis based on theory (4) Linking the analysis results with their relevance to teaching materials. In the analysis of Roman Inggarden's poem written by Joko Piburbo, it can be illustrated by the analysis that the poem discusses covid-19 that occurs in social society. This is a form of contextuality that proves that the poem is related to learning to write CTL-based poetry.
Hypersonic Boundary-Layer Instability Suppression by Transverse Microgrooves with Machining Flaw
Authors: Liu Yong , Yang Qiang , Tu Guohua , Li Xiaohu , Guo Qilong , Wan Bingbing 
Published: January 2023

Transverse rectangular microgrooves with local machining flaw are investigated using direct numerical simulations from the viewpoint of suppressing the second-mode instability in a Mach 6 hypersonic boundary layer. Two types of machining flaw are modeled for the local deformation of microgrooves, i.e., chamfered and protruded ones. The effect of locally deformed microgrooves on the boundary-layer stability is studied by superposing the second-mode disturbance to the base flow of the boundary layer. The investigated unstable second mode is 400 kHz, and the microgrooves are installed in its synchronous region. The results show that compression and expansion waves are generated on the surface of the deformed microgrooves, and microscale separation bubbles are formed at the rear edge of the deformed microgrooves. With the increase of local deformation height of microgrooves, the suppression effect of the second-mode disturbance gradually increases. As the deformation height reaches 0.09 mm, the amplitude inhibition rate of locally deformed microgrooves on the second-mode disturbance reaches 44.7%, compared to that of the regular one.

Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of trunkfocused exercise programs (TEPs) and moderator factors on chronic nonspecific low back pain (LBP). DESIGN: Systematic review with meta-analyses. LITERATURE SEARCH: We searched the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, SPORTDiscus, and CENTRAL databases from their inception to June 2022. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomized controlled trials comparing TEPs to control or general exercises. DATA SYNTHESIS: We used random-effects models to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) plus confidence interval (CI) and heterogeneity (I2) for pain, disability, quality of life, and trunk performance. The impact of moderator factors was analyzed through meta-regression. RESULTS: Forty randomized controlled trials (n = 2391) were included. TEPs showed positive effects for all outcomes versus control (SMD 0.90–2.46; 95% CI, −0.04 to 4.96; I2 61%–98%). There were small effects in favor of TEPs versus general exercises for pain (SMD = 0.20; 95% CI, 0.03–0.37; I2 = 13.4%) and disability (SMD = 0.20; 95% CI, 0.02–0.38; I2 = 0%). Trunk and/or hip range-of-motion improvements were associated with greater reductions in pain (P<.01; β = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.25–0.87) and disability (P<.01; β = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.27–1.05). Low body mass was associated with higher pain reduction (P = .03; β = −0.17; 95% CI, −0.32 to −0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Trunk-focused exercise programs had positive effects on pain, disability, quality of life, and trunk performance compared to control groups, and on pain and disability compared to general exercises. Increasing trunk and/or hip range of motion was associated with greater pain and disability reduction, and lower body mass with higher pain reduction. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(2):64–93.
