    Egypt and Turkey makeup about half of the whole population of the Middle East and are the two leading nations in the eastern Mediterranean, including Iran as a whole. Both countries are now recognized as the two most tremendous modern military forces in the Middle East. Besides, Cairo and Ankara are major Muslim centers: the Al-Azhar Mosque in Egypt is the largest Islamic University in the world and a significant feature of Egyptian soft power; the historical association between Turkey and the last Islamic Caliphate is viewed in the region with great nostalgia. Given these similarities, a deep rivalry between the two countries exists around the world, while Ankara and Cairo have increasingly prevented overt aggression or conflicts. After the Arab Spring, tensions have intensified and, in effect, impacts Libya, Sudan, and the Eastern Mediterranean region. Along with the increased risk of an overt war between the two nations, the rivalry between Turkey and Egypt also challenges the delicate security of the Middle East. It indicates that it needs an international mediator to answer this thorny problem

    Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an important role in modern institutions by facilitating and improving the teaching and learning process to be in line with the information technology age. Jordan, as one of the developing countries, highly values the importance of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and their role in achieving an economic prosperity through the development of human resources. Unfortunately, the adoption and usage of ICT in teaching and learning process is quite low among the academic staff in the public HEIs in Jordan. The main purpose of this study is to examine the potential prominent factors related to the adoption and usage of ICT in Jordanian HEIs among the academicians. The study provides an understanding on the ICT usage by applying the Diffusion of Innovation theory, Theory of Planned Behavior and the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior. A self-administered survey was conducted on 500 academic staff selected from public HEIs in Jordan. A total of 415 participants (83%) responded to the questionnaires. The findings showed that subjective norms, attitude towards technology, and perceived behavioral control positively affected the behavioral intention to use ICT in HEIs among academicians. The study provides recommendations to the higher education leaders and policy makers towards promoting a successful adoption and diffusion of technologies in the future. Besides, it offers a clear description about the adoption in the field of educational technologies in the context of developing countries and the Arab world in particular

    One of the threats on the health sector is the appearance of multi antibiotic resistant microorganisms. Thus, this occurs because of using natural and synthetic antimicrobial agents in excessive doses. Now, many scientists all around the world are performing research on natural extracts that have antimicrobial activity using photodynamic therapy (PDT) which involves light activation. The aim of this study, however, is to evaluate the effect of photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy using extracts from Pomegranate (Punica granatum), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Carob (Ceratonia siliqua), and Nigella or black cumin oil (Nigella sativa) against two gram-positive and two gram-negative bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) respectively; and three different fungi (Aspergillus niger, Mucor sp., and Rhizopus sp.), using agar well diffusion method. The prepared methanolic extracts presented absorption between 300 and –900 nm wavelengths. The maximum activity of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) was against Staphylococcus aureus in total darkness with 52.5 ± 2.5 mm inhibition zone diameter. Also, the most sensitive fungi was Mucor sp. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) extract was with 31.0 ± 1.0 mm inhibition zone diameters. The results showed that there was an inhibitory effect of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) extracts against most of the tested species

    This study investigated the effects of low static magnetic field on the growth of three bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) that plays a versatile role in infecting wounded tissues. The viability of these bacteria was measured with and without different magnetic fields (30, 50, and 80) mT after 24 hours. Results illustrate that magnetic field decreased the growth rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, while increased the growth rate of Bacillus subtilis after 24 hours of exposure. Keywords: Magnetic field, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus

    Pertukaran informasi di suatu daerah bencana harus dapat bergerak lebih cepat untuk membantu proses pemulihan pasca bencana sehingga kebutuhan bagi para korban dapat dipenuhi secara efisien. Pada jalur komunikasi seluler terdapat limitasi dikarenakan dapat dipengaruhi dengan kondisi bencana seperti pemadaman listrik hingga kerusakan pada base station akibat bencana. Sehingga dibutuhkan suatu teknologi yang dapat memungkinkan adanya telekomunikasi efektif saat pasca bencana. Pada penelitian ini dirancang dua model arsitektur aerial relay node (ARN) berbasis Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). ARN digunakan untuk menyediakan jalur komunikasi pada suatu daerah bencana dengan cara meneruskan data yang diterima dari User Equipments (UEs) yang dijangkau dan diteruskan ke macro base station (MBS) terdekat dan sebaliknya. Model pertama menggunakan relay node berjenis amplify-and-forward (AF) dimana menggunakan jaringan generasi ke-4 4G LTE/LTEA pada jaringan fronthaul (ARN-MBS) dan jaringan akses (ARN-UEs). Model tersebut secara umum bekerja sebagai suatu repeater atau amplifier. Sementara untuk model kedua, ARN dengan jenis decode-and-forward (DF) bekerja sebagai seperti suatu mobile hotspot dimana digunakan 4G LTE/LTEA pada jaringan fronthaul dan wifi 802.11n pada jaringan aksesnya. Pada penelitian ini, Desa Sumbermujur dengan area seluas 16 km2 dijadikan sebagai objek penelitian. Terdapat tiga parameter utama yang akan diteliti pada kedua model tersebut yakni ketinggian optimum ARN, jarak maksimum antara ARN dengan MBS, dan yang terakhir adalah jangkauan maksimum dari ARN. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa ketinggian optimum dari ARN-AF dan ARN-DF berada pada ketinggian maksimum yaitu 150 meter. Selanjutnya untuk jarak maksimum antara ARN-AF dengan MBS adalah sejauh 11 kilometer dan 8,5 kilometer untuk ARN-DF dengan MBS. Dari segi jangkauan, ARN-AF mampu menjangkau 100% objek penelitian yakni Desa Sumbermujur dengan area seluas 16 km2 sementara ARN-DF hanya mampu menjangkau 3,349% area dari Desa Sumbermujur
