The purpose of this paper is to highlight an ongoing ideological shift in Islamic political thought from a radical to a more secular moderate line of thought, which has been consolidating over the past decade. This paper argues that such an ideological shift is taking place in the form of revisionist movements which were able to engage in state politics during the Arab Spring. In addition, this paper asserts the need for the survival and continuity of these moderate Islamic powers as they prove that a secular moderate Islamic model does in fact exist and could be an alternative to radical Islamic discourse. In addition, this paper argues that the overthrowing of Morsi in a coup d’état in Egypt may lead to re-radicalization and would cripple the evolution and progress of the moderate line of thought within Islam.

The Effectiveness of Semiotics Strategy in improving Listening Comprehension Skills among Tenth Basic Grade Students

The study examined the effectiveness of semiotics strategy in improving listening comprehension skills among tenth grade students in Jordan. The researchers developed an objective test to measure their performance level using the semi-experimental design consisted of (30) items. The sample of the study included (55) students from Mafraq first Secondary School for Boys selected using convenient sampling method in the first semester of the school year 2020-2021 distributed into two sections. One of them was randomly selected to represent the experimental group and totaled (28) male students taught using semiotics strategy; the other represented the control group and included (27) male students taught using traditional teaching strategy. Validity and reliability were verified using test-retest, Cronbach Alpha Coefficient, and evaluators\u27 agreement. Data were analyzed by using means, standard deviations, T-test, One Way ANOVA, MANCOVA, and Etasquare to define the effect size for the semiotics strategy. Furthermore, listening classes\u27 notes were prepared according to the semiotics strategy in two lessons Palm Tree and Love with Forgiveness . The results of the study indicated statistically significant differences at (α= 0.05)in the total listening comprehension skills level and its individual domains (Literal, Inferential, Critical), in favor of the experimental group

An examination of teacher collaboration in professional learning communities and collaborative teaching practices

The present study aims to examine the influence of teacher collaboration within professional learning communities (PLCs) and collaborative teaching practices on both the professional growth and academic achievement of students. The study employed a mixed-methods research design that  incorporated both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. This research comprises both survey responses and interview transcripts obtained from K-12 educators who are currently engaged in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) or collaborative teaching methodologies. The findings of this study have the potential to enhance the existing literature on teacher collaboration and furnish educators, policymakers, and researchers with valuable perspectives to steer optimal strategies for promoting effective teacher collaboration in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and collaborative teaching approaches. The objective of the research is to investigate the influence of teacher collaboration within Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and collaborative teaching practices on the development of professional skills and academic achievements of students. The results of this study underscore the importance of recognizing the advantageous effects that collaborative teaching methodologies can have on the academic achievements of students.

Transnational Hardcore Competition Cartels: Criminalization According to Transnational Criminal Law

This thesis provides a comprehensive discussion of the criminal character of transnational hardcore competition cartels in accordance with a transnational criminal law framework. It examines different sources of international law, including customary law, general principles of law, treaty law, national law, and soft law. It concludes that transnational hardcore competition cartels are transnational crimes with domestic concerns and that they are prohibited and criminalized based on national criminal law. The thesis justifies criminalizing transnational hardcore competition cartels based on well-established criminal law theories, including utilitarianism, legal liberalism, legal moralism, and legal perfectionism. Further discussion focuses on the appropriate type of sanction, whether administrative or criminal. The thesis examines this issue based on two well-established sentencing theories: retributivism and general deterrence. The thesis suggests that the criminal sanction of imprisonment is desirable based on both proportionality grounds, in which the sanction fits the severity of the crime, and practical considerations, in which imprisonment serves as an effective sanction for suppressing those crimes
