An Approach between Rational and Logical: An Analytical Study

The aim of this study is to bring the points of view between the logicians and the grammarians closer, but not as a way of reconciliation, as it aimed to clarify some of the conceptual limitations related to deduction and induction. The study was based on the descriptive analytical method, through the review and the analysis of the concept of syllogism as stated in the Aristotelian logic, in Arabic grammar and their respective applications. It has also been exposed to the views of the modern and the ancient scholars, especially with regard to the concepts of regularities and its irregularities and its relation to syllogism and hearing; One of the most important results of the study is that the analog that is found in the language is part of its nature and its tongue, and is not the type of syllogism that Aristotle did, and that even when this syllogism meet with the laws of Aristotelian logic, the Aristotelian logic is not related to the syllogism in Arabic language in any wa

Novel double functional protection of cephalostatin analogues using a gas-free chlorination method

Herewith, we report on a method that allows to simultaneously protect both the ∆14,15 bond and the carbonyl group of the symmetrical bis-steroidal diketone 2. We found that environmentally friendly and gas-free chlorination is ideally suited to achieve this goal. This method was discovered during our efforts to methoxylate 2 in a solution of dichloromethane and basic methanol in the presence of diacetoxy iodobenzene. Unexpectedly, the ∆14,15 bonds were chlorinated once as well as twice in a statistical manner. Interestingly, the singly dichlorinated desymmetrized product is an ideal precursor for conduction a series of position selective transformations. Importantly, the carbonyl group present in the nonchlorinated hemisphere can be selectively reduced, olefinated or oximated, while the other carbonyl group stays unaltered. A structurally related “monomeric” steroid derivative undergoes ∆14,15 chlorination and 11-position methoxylation under same conditions. These findings represent a powerful entry for preparing new nonsymmetrical cephalostatin derivatives. © 201

To achieve the study objectives, the researchers used the ambition test that was prepared by Al-Esaway and applied by Alshraa (1998). The validity and reliability of the test were acceptable. The sample consisted of (87) talented students, and (158) normal students. They were selected using the stratified quota sampling method from high basic and secondary schools. The arithmetic means, standard deviation, ANOVA and the correlation coefficients were used to analyze the data. The results showed that ambition level among the talented and normal students was high, and there were no statistically significant differences at (α≤ 0.05) of the total ambition level degrees among talented and normal students. There were no statistically significant differences at the total ambition level degrees among the talented students regarding gender, class, the educational level of parents and the economic level of the family. However, there were statistically significant differences (α≤0.05) at the total ambition level degrees among normal students regarding both variables: the class variable in favor of 1st secondary grade, and the gender variable in favor of females. Further, there were no statistically significant differences at the total ambition level degrees at the educational level of parents and the economic level of the family. There was a positive correlation coefficient of the total ambition level between the normal students and their academic achievement. The results were discussed in the light of the theoretical framework and previous studies. Based on the study results, a set of recommendations was proposed.

When You Wish Upon a Character Banner: An Exploratory Discourse Analysis of a Genshin Impact Player Community

An exploratory discourse analysis was performed on a community of practice based on Discord, an instant messaging platform. The community of practice is a group of gamers (people who play video games), dedicated to the cross-platform free-to-play game Genshin Impact. A corpus of messages was gathered from the community’s public message logs, which spanned a period of three days during the release of Genshin Impact’s most financially lucrative character banner. From the corpus, numerous themes in players’ discussions have been observed; such as reactions to the gacha’s probability system, displays of problem gaming, sexualization of female characters, and opinions regarding monetization & the game’s developers. This study would be beneficial for future studies that pertain to player behavior and gamer culture that can also use communities of practice on platforms such as Discord, in order to gain insight into niche communities of engaged users.En utforskande diskursanalys utfördes på praxisgemenskapen baserad på Discord, en plattform för snabbmeddelanden. Praxisgemenskapen var en grupp spelare dedikerade till det plattformsoberoende gratisspelet Genshin Impact. En korpus av meddelanden samlades in från gemenskapens offentliga meddelandeloggar, som sträckte sig över en period av tre dagar under lanseringen av Genshin Impacts mest ekonomiskt lukrativa karaktärsbanner. Från korpusen har många teman i spelarnas diskussioner observerats; såsom reaktioner på gachas sannolikhetssystem, visningar av problemspelande, sexualisering av kvinnliga karaktärer och åsikter om intäktsgenerering samt spelets utvecklare. Framtida studier som avser spelarbeteende och gamerkultur kan också använda praxisgemenskaper på plattformar som Discord, för att få insikt i nischa gemenskaper av engagerade användare
