Published: July 2022

BackgroundIn teen pregnancy prevention (TPP) evidence-based program replication, fidelity toolkits (FTKs) provide structure to ensure that essential curricular components are delivered as intended.ObjectiveThe purpose of this project was to extend quality improvement efforts (Flinders, 2017) through analysis of FTKs from four years of TPP implementation.MethodsAn evidence-based TPP program was delivered to females, 15–19 years of age (n = 1,658) from four suburban Ohio counties. Fidelity rates were calculated by agency staff and undergraduate nursing students. Grounded theory was used to identify themes from the narrative sections of the FTKs. Plan-Do-Study-Act methodology (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2008) guided this quality improvement work.ResultsStaff fidelity was reported as 98.38%. Student fidelity was reported at 99.05%. Key themes, identified as a result of the qualitative analysis, were categorized as participant factors, site factors, or presenter factors.ConclusionsToolkits created an effective safeguard to ensure the replication of the evidence-based TPP program, with fidelity.Implications for NursingUndergraduate students are capable of implementing evidence-based programming, with fidelity, to meet the educational needs of their communities. Analysis of narrative comments from toolkits can influence FTK revisions to improve program delivery.

Hypothesis of the Disappearance of the Limits of Improvidence and Parsimony in the Function of Consumption in an Islamic Economy
Authors: الأفندي محمد أحمد حسن 
Published: July 2022

There is a rich literature about the analysis of consumption behavior from the perspective of Islamic economy. The focus of such literature has been on the incorporation of the effect of moral values on individuals’ consumption behavior. However, studies on consumption did not pay enough heed to the analysis of the ultimate effect of faith values on the track of consumption behavior over time. This desired track of consumption involves showing certain hypotheses and probabilities. This study suggests a normative statement which includes the gradual disappearance of parsimony and improvidence over time. This disappearance would correct the deviation of actual consumption of society members from the desired moderate consumption level, so as to make households’ consumption behavior at the desired level which is consistent with Islamic Sharia. The study emphasizes the need to develop analysis and research in two integrated directions: i) conducting more empirical studies to examine the consistency of the normative statement with evidence from real situations, and ii) conducting more analysis to develop a specific measure for the desired consumption levels as well as the limits of parsimony and improvidence.
Keywords: Disappearance of improvidence and parsimony limits, Desired moderate consumption level, Actual consumption, Improvidence and parsimony consumption levels, Track of households’ consumption behavior.

Authors: المعمري عبدالوهاب عبدالله أحمد 
Published: July 2022

The public-private partnership has gained great interest as the economic and social development process depends on mobilizing and gathering all the potentials of the society to participate in establishing and operating various projects. This may help the independent institutional organizations to overcome the challenges and difficulties and achieve their goals at the target levels. Therefore, both developed and developing countries seek to create institutional structures, legislations and systems to adopt participatory organizations in which all sectors of society contribute to serving their objectives on the basis of cooperative participation, good governance, transparent accountability and mutual benefit. This entails the need to keep pace with the necessary legislations. Thus, the study aims to analyze the legislative requirements in light of development needs and practical and administrative problems applying the concepts of transparency, disclosure and cooperation. The scientific method which is based on the analysis and the comparison approach was adopted to achieve the required results and provide the relevant and appropriate recommendations in this field. The main findings of the study revealed the urgent need to activate the partnership between the public and private sectors in the Republic of Yemen. This requires reviewing the relevant legislations and enacting complementary laws to achieve the objectives of partnership between public and private sectors.

An Analysis of a New Musnad Inscription Related to Wars of Sabaʾ and dhū-Raydān Kings Found in Rayda City
Authors: Al-Gaili Mohammed Ali Hizam 
Published: July 2022

This research paper aimed to study the linguistic and historical connotations contained in the inscription (Al-Qayli-Rayda 1), which is an unpublished musnad inscription, representing a memorial text of the inscriptions of wars and military campaigns originating from the city of Rayda which is currently in the village of Bayt al-Qufāf, Ḫarif district, ʿAmrān, Yemen. To achieve this objective, the descriptive comparative analytical method was used. The analysis revealed that the events stated in the inscription date back to the era of the kings of Sabaʾ and dhū-Raydān (circa 3rd century AD). The inscriptions bnw S¹ʾrn w-Mḥylm indicate that there were a number of battles which can generally be divided into two campaigns. The first was launched by Rubʿ Rayda of Bakīl on the Bedouins, who had conquered ʿrn Baraṭ and some of the surrounding areas and valleys, and whose danger began to reach the eastern boundaries of Ḥas²id and Bakīl tribes. In the second campaign, the Rubʿ Rayda and other ʾArbāʿ of Bakīl under the command of a Kabīr Aqyānum and Ibn Marthadum, along with the king of Sabaʾ and dhū-Raydān (their names can be found in the left broken part of the inscription) launched the campaign, and headed to the​​ S¹uhrat area to fight the ʾAshā‘ir tribe and its leader Nabat. The inscription is a new addition to Yemen's political history before Islam. It includes the areas on which the campaigns were launched and the methods and techniques used during the battles.
Keywords: musnad inscription, Ridah city, war inscriptions, the era of Sheba and thi Ridan.
A Comparative Study of Controversial Types of Hirabah (Banditry) in Islamic Jurisprudence and Yemeni Laws
Authors: Gandab Ahmed Ali 
Published: July 2022

This paper investigated the controversial types of Hirabah for three reasons: to the best of the researcher's knowledge, it is a new topic that has not been investigated independently; the focus has been on the agreed types only. Secondly, this topic focuses on a vital issue in society; and finally it paves the way for future studies of Mohareb offences. The paper aimed to identify controversial types of Hirabah, its rules, and to examine the possibility of applying Hirabah elements (to them) as well as the perspective of Yemeni laws about Hirabah. For defining the types of Hirabah, the analytical descriptive method was followed, and for comparing and tracking various opinions and views, the comparative inductive method was used. The study concluded that Hirabah controversial types should be penalized as the rules of Hirabah apply to them. This fulfills the purposes of jurisprudence in protecting the society security and public interests, and preventing such crimes. It was recommended that Yemeni penal code be reviewed to conform with Islamic jurisprudence and general penal code; and collective Ejtehad and making use of the potential of Islamic criminal law regarding formation of appropriate legal opinions for the current crimes should be taken into consideration. It was also suggested that this topic should be open for further research studies.
Keywords: Hirabah, brigandry, banditry, piracy, assassination.
Translating the Ten Arabic Verb Patterns into English: A Morpho-Semantic Study
Authors: Alward Dr. Ali S. , Al-Qeili Muna Y. , Ashuja’a Dr. Abdulhameed A. 
Published: July 2022

This study aimed to investigate the difficulties encountered by translation students when translating the ten Arabic verb patterns into English. To achieve this objective, the descriptive quantitative and qualitative method was followed. A translation test consisting of 16 sentences which included the ten Arabic verb patterns was administered to a sample of 112 participants who were randomly selected from five Yemeni universities. The findings revealed that the additions associated with the Arabic verb root can create multiple semantic changes which are fraught with difficulties for student translators. The difficulties may lie in the fact that student translators lack basic knowledge and understanding of the multiple functions of the morpho-semantic features which might be due to the translators' unfamiliarity of the multiple and underlying meanings of the morphemes affixed to the root form. The findings revealed that the more features the pattern takes, the more difficult it is for student translators. Furthermore, the pattern with infixed morphemes was more difficult to be recognized than the one with prefixed morphemes. The findings also provide further insights on the importance of integrating the Arabic verb patterns into the translation modules with a focus on the link between form and functions of each morpho-semantic feature affixed to each pattern.
Keywords: affixes, morpho-semantic features, root, translation, verb patterns.
