Beyond Critical Communication: Noor\u27s Soap Opera

Noor has occupied the minds and the hearts of the Arab audiences. This Turkish soap opera has reached levels beyond ordinary success of a soap opera and gained wide ranges of popularity. The aim of this research is to examine traditional and modern roles that the main characters play within the episodes of Noor. Paying special attention to the roles of female actors within the episodes, the critique will also scrutinize how Noor presents the Western definitions of acceptable roles for women. It is hoped that the results will help to illustrate a wide-ranging dialogue about women and feminism in the Arab world

La perspectiva del bienestar y la cuestión del género en Palestina: un análisis crítico

Tesis inédita de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología, leída el 13-01-2020Little success over the past decades has been observed in reaching and maintaining wellbeing of people in conflict regions across the world, both in terms of securing sustainable development and improving quality of life, despite shared efforts of both national governmental, and non-governmental agencies within those conflict regions, and from the outside international community. This doctoral project examines the critical issue of wellbeing and quality of life of people in continuous conflict regions, by holding forth on Palestine: known for its long-standing conflict and Israeli occupation, as the research case study.The subject of well-being of Palestinian people was regularly discussed within different resolution agreements with conflicting parties, and foreign policy agendas of key international players, in order to guarantee that these agreements and policies are complied with, and provide adequate attention to the rights of minorities, indigenous people, and other vulnerable groups, such as children and women. However, the current difficult circumstances that Palestinians face daily, and the negative indicators on their well-being status, as well as their health conditions, especially within a forementioned vulnerable groups, postulate that national and international efforts in this regard, remain deficient in achieving their objectives...Esta tesis pretende ampliar al conocimiento existente sobre lo que conlleva asegurar el desarrollo sostenible y la mejora de la calidad de vida en los territorios palestinos y las oportunidades reales que los palestinos tienen en el país, mediante el análisis de su bienestar y calidad de vida desde una perspectiva de género y la aplicación del enfoque basado en las capacidades (the Capability Approach). Por tanto, el objetivo de la presente tesis es contribuir a la literatura sobre el bienestar y la calidad de vida en Palestina, la aplicación del enfoque basado en las capacidades en la investigación empírica y los estudios sobre desigualdad de género en Palestina. Reconociendo que he realizado mi investigación en una sociedad patriarcal y en instituciones que siguen siendo patriarcales, debo generar un contenido de investigación basado en una perspectiva y valores feministas de cara a dar a las mujeres, incluida yo misma, una plataforma para que su voz sea escuchada y llamar la atención sobre las diferentes formas de contribuir al mantenimiento de la sociedad y su bienestar...Fac. de Ciencias Políticas y SociologíaTRUEunpu

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Provisional Fixed Partial Denture PMMA Material Containing Alumina Nanofibers

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Provisional restorative treatment is an essential part of fixed prosthodontics. Incorporation of adequately constructed provisional restorations will enhance the success rate of definitive restorations. Repairing or replacing failed provisional restorations is a concern for both clinicians and patients. The objective of this investigation was to study the effects of alumina nanofibers reinforcement on the mechanical properties of commercially available provisional fixed partial denture PMMA material. The hypothesis was that the addition of alumina nanofibers to commercially available PMMA resin will significantly increase its flexural strength, fracture toughness, and microhardness. Alumina nanofibers at 0.0 wt %, 0.5 wt %, 1.0 wt %, and 2.5 wt % were added to commercially available provisional fixed partial material (Jet Tooth Shade). A quaternary ammonium acetate dispersant (CC-59, Goldschmidt, Janesville, WI) was added to the acrylic monomer at 0.0 wt %, 1.0 wt %, 2.0 wt % and 5.0 wt % of the nanofiber weight (12 test groups, 1 control). Samples from each group were evaluated for flexural strength, flexural modulus, fracture toughness, and microhardness. The samples were tested after storing in distilled water for 24 hours and 7 days at 37ºC. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the effects of storage time and combinations of alumina nanofiber level and quaternary ammonium acetate dispersant level on the flexural strength, fracture toughness, and microhardness of the provisional PMMA resin. Pair-wise comparisons between groups were performed using Tukey’s multiple comparisons procedure to control the overall significance level at 5 percent. Three fracture toughness samples/group were randomly selected for Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) to qualitatively evaluate the dispersion of the fibers. The data obtained from this study showed that control sample values were in the acceptance range compared with previous research. The experimental samples did not reinforce the provisional resin in the flexural strength, modulus, fracture toughness, or microhardness. There are several factors may attribute to these results, such as poor bonding at the filler/matrix interface. The more homogeneous the mixture of PMMA and fiber, the stronger the acrylic resin. In fact, the presence of poorly bonded fibers, to which little load is transferred, can be almost equivalent to voids. In addition, as seen with EDS images, alumina nanofibers had a tendency to agglomerate. The use of a magnetic stirrer was not effective in physically separating nanofibers agglomerates. Direct dispersion of alumina nanofibers in methyl methacrylate monomer and quaternary ammonium acetate dispersant was not effective in separating the nanofibers into nano-scaled single crystals. The presence of fiber agglomerates acts as a structural defect that detrimentally affects the mechanical properties. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of fibers, dispersion techniques, and coupling agents to enhance the mechanical properties of the provisional PMMA resin

Refleksi Spiritual Leadership Berbasis Qur’ani

Leadership as a process of influencing individuals (personal) or groups to achieve certain goals. Meanwhile, someone who is a role model and must be followed by not deviating from the praises of Allah and the Prophet. This type of qualitative uses a literature study approach, data collecting by searching and collecting data or information related to themes from literature, both in the form of books (books), reports, notes, magazines, newspapers, and others. Meanwhile, the analysis uses historical analysis. The results showed that one of the leadership styles that are recognized as ammunition to achieve better leadership in the future is based on the Qur'anic spiritual leadership. Leadership is a leadership style that puts forward all policies, the performance of an organization rests on values ​​that come from the Qur'an. Starting from the value of honesty, mandate sermon, fatonah, all of these can be applied in any organization to achieve the goals desired and blessed by Allah SWT, S.W.T

Osteoblastoma of scaphoid of the carpus: a case report

Osteoblastoma is a rather uncommon tumor, especially when located in the wrist (and hand). Its diagnosis therefore appears to be problematic. We describe a case of osteoblastoma of the scaphoid bone and its management. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case of osteoblatoma of the carpus reported in the literature. Proximal row carpectomy was chosen because of the aggressive nature of the tumor. A tendon transfer was performed in the same session for wrist stabilization. Other authors have opted for a more conservative approach (tumor curettage with bone grafting).Key words: Osteoblastoma, scaphoid, hand, proximal row carpectomy, Morocc

Study of Different Rates of Application of Pendimethalin and Acetochlor onWeed Infestation and Grain Yield of Fababean

A fababean weed control trial was conducted during the 2016-2017 growing season. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two preemergence herbicides Pendimethalin and Acetochlor on weed infestation in a fababean crop. Dominant weed botanical families in the experimental site belong to Asteraceae and Poaceae. Results showed that the improvement of fababean grain yield depends on the weed control efficacy. Treatment with Pendimethalin at 1228 g/ha widely decrease fababean weed infestations recording 91.7% and 90.56 respectively on visual efficacy rating and weed biomass reduction. Acetochlor at 1050 g/ha recorded the lowest efficacies 53.3% and 62.1% respectively on visual efficacy rating and weed biomass reduction. Plots treated with Pendimethalin at 1228 g/ha recorded the best yields with an average of 3.32 tons / ha
