A body finding freedom within itself

When a dislocation of any type occurs, whether geographical, emotional, or spiritual, the disorder pushes the self to retreat to safety. For me, that safety is in my body. It is in this place of retreat where I locate my original home. In this space of translocation, I forage for materials from my surroundings and places that I belong to. Moving between Dubai, Damascus, Beirut, and Providence, I shape a reality dependent on what is available. I then transform these materials, searching for the forms and relationships that emerge while meditating on home and the body as a moving vessel and container for attachments. My work involves various modes of reflection through making. Drawings help with understanding experiences, while foraging and assemblage are the physical structures that embody narratives, histories, realities, and memory. Recorded sounds register localities and spaces. I am interested in documenting the shifts, transitions, challenges, and resolutions as they occur, whether in the work or in myself. I am centering beauty as a form of hope, rather than the pervasive violence and pain that follows the bodies of people from the Levant diaspora. Hope exists in the new generation that escaped the holds of the greatest burden, carrying the legacy and memory of our parents and ancestors through time and place. Two questions emerge: How do we locate ourselves? How is memory of the homeland imprinted on the body

Evaluating Research Competency Among Alumni Of PBI (A Study At English Language Education Department Of UIN Ar-Raniry)

This study is aimed to analyze the difference between participants’ research competency, source of research competency, and problem-related to the conduct of research. The samples are nine alumni from English Language Education Department; three alumni finished thesis in one semester, three alumni in two semesters, and other in three semesters. This qualitative research used semi-structured interview with recorder and note-taking. The author analyzed research competency based on the work of Ivanenko et.al. (2015). As a result, alumni who finished thesis in one semester have a higher research competency than others. The author also found out that alumni tend to gain research competency from research courses, research conduction, and self-study. Finally, in term of problem-related to the conduct of research, the author found out that alumni tend to have problems with self-motivation, supervisors, time/class schedule, finding previous studies, finding proper data analysis, and finding participants during research conduction

EVAIUATION OF THE GENOTOXIC EFFECTS OF SOME BIOLOGICALY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES

There are more and more substances coming in contact with people and environment, they have got genotoxic features, which cause hereditary illnesses and tumors. Though cancer treatment becomes more and more effective, still the amount of deaths from tumors caused by harmful substances are increasing from year to year. To reduce the effects of these harmful substances, they should be detected and avoided.To perform experiments using Saccaromyces cerevisiae mutagenicity testsystem and Escerichia coli SOS chromotest to find out biologically active substances used in labs and industry, also its mixture or separate compounds possessing genotoxicity with other substances. The genotoxic properties of 11 substances were studied. Results showed that formaldehyde, urethane, acridine orange, acridine yellow, furazolidone, nalidixic acid, hydrogen peroxide, potassium bichromate, was a strong inducers of the genotoxic disorders

The role of atmospheric boundary layer-surface interactions on the development of coastal fronts

Frictional convergence and thermal difference between land and sea surface are the two surface conditions that govern the intensity and evolution of a coastal front. By means of the mesoscale model MM5, we investigate the influence of these two processes on wind patterns, temperature and precipitation amounts, associated with a coastal front, observed on the west coast of The Netherlands in the night between 12 and 13 August 2004. The mesoscale model MM5 is further compared with available observations and the results of two operational models (ECMWF and HIRLAM). HIRLAM is not capable to reproduce the coastal front, whereas ECMWF and MM5 both calculate precipitation for the coastal region. The precipitation pattern, calculated by MM5, agrees satisfactorily with the accumulated radar image. The failure of HIRLAM is mainly due to a different stream pattern at the surface and consequently, a different behaviour of the frictional convergence at the coastline. <br><br> The sensitivity analysis of frictional convergence is carried out with the MM5 model, by varying land surface roughness length (<I>z</I><sub>0</sub>). For the sensitivity analysis of thermal difference between sea and land surface, we changed the sea surface temperature (SST). Increasing surface roughness implies stronger convergence near the surface and consequently stronger upward motions and intensification of the development of the coastal front. Setting land surface roughness equal to the sea surface roughness means an elimination of frictional convergence and results in a diminishing coastal front structure of the precipitation pattern. The simulation with a high SST produces much precipitation above the sea, but less precipitation in the coastal area above land. A small increment of the SST results in larger precipitation amounts above the sea; above land increments are calculated for areas near the coast. A decrease of the SST shifts the precipitation maxima inland, although the precipitation amounts diminish. In the situation under study, frictional convergence is the key process that enhances the coastal front intensity. A thermal difference between land and sea equal to zero still yields the development of the coastal front. A lower SST than land surface temperature generates a reversed coastal front. <br><br> This study emphasizes the importance of accurate prescription of surface conditions as input of the numerical weather prediction model to improve coastal front predictability
