A Schauder estimate for stochastic PDEs

Considering stochastic partial differential equations of parabolic type with random coefficients in vector-valued H\"older spaces, we obtain a sharp Schauder estimate. As an application, the existence and uniqueness of solution to the Cauchy problem is also proved.Comment: This is an abridged version. A full version is submitted separatel

The linguistic structure in the “Dafatir al-Warraq” by Jalal Bargas the Notebooks of the Papermaker novel between the act of notation and the speech of thresholds

This study explores the subject of linguistic structure and text thresholds in Jalal Barjas\u27s novel Dafatir al-Warraq 2020. The novel creates a memorization that makes the narrative language based on a philosophical context of the text thresholds. This crafted a ground for inquiries that the structure of the work evoked from the painful reality we live in today. The language of the narration and its thresholds have taken a mediating role in combining the other elements. Although it was divided against itself, a division that reflects the schizophrenia of the hero and his loss of the correct path. Hence, the study aims to evaluate the language of narration in the light of taking the act of narrative writing as an approach to presenting the story. This led to narrating the novel in the form of notebooks once, and the form of threshold narration (textual threshold) again in its external and internal dimensions. This calls for revealing the regulating relationship of the multiple narrative textual thresholds employed by the novel. The study used the concepts of the narrative method to approach this problem. Among the most prominent findings of the study is that the language of narration was based on the data of what was recorded in the characters notebooks and an influential factor in the constructive narrative of the novel, especially at the level of event and time. This was accompanied by a mature dialogue between the content of the work and its multiple textual thresholds in its external and internal dimensions

The relationship between professional identity and psychological stress among teachers in the Sultanate of Oman

The study aimed to know the correlation between professional identity and psychological stress among a sample of teachers in the Sultanate of Oman. The sample consisted of (400) male and female teachers. The researcher used the descriptive correlative approach, and the researcher used two scales: the professional identity scale (Hao et al., 2014), and the psychological stress scale (Al-Kharabsha and Al-Qamsh, 2009).The results showed the existence of a negative correlation with statistical significance between professional identity and psychological stress at the level of the total degree and at the level of dimensions except for the (academic) dimension in psychological stress and the dimension (social modeling) in professional identity, where the negative relationship was not statistically significant, The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences in favor of females in the total scale of professional identity and all its dimensions except for the dimension (social comparison and restoration of self-esteem), while there were no statistically significant differences in professional identity due to the experience variable on the scale as a whole and on its dimensions except for the dimension (picture). professional self), where there are differences in favor of years of experience (more than 15 years). The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in psychological stress according to the gender variable in the total scale and all its dimensions except for the (psychological) dimension in favor of females, as well as the presence of statistically significant differences in the overall scale and in its five dimensions due to the experience variable in favor of years of experience (more than 15 years), as it became clear that the impact of psychological stress on them is less compared to other years of experience
