Ambush and Meteorology in the Noble Qur’an: A grammatical semantic study

2023-09-26T07:41:56+00:00

It became clear to me that the terms stalking and stalking in the Holy Qur’an came with two different connotations from each other, and even the forms in which these two words appeared were grammatically different. Indeed, stalking is mentioned in the past tense, present tense, imperative, noun and infinitive as well, and it is frequently used in the Holy Qur’an, in When I found (Rasd) and its derivatives are few in roses, and its uses are more named. Also, stalking came in some verses of legislative provisions, and that stalking has a meaning more than the meaning of waiting, and it is the most common meaning because it falls in the commendable and unpleasant matter. This difference is essential between them, because the forces of stalking are stronger than the forces of stalking.

Afrocentric Study of Black Female Identity in Alice Childress’s Wine in the Wilderness

2023-09-27T10:48:58+00:00

African American playwrights always tend to manifest their African heritage and culture (Afrocentrism) through their plays. In other words, Afrocentrism means African centered-ness. Afrocentrism or Afrocentricity basically focuses on Africans and places African history, heritage and culture at the heart of any analysis. One of the Afrocentric writers is Alice Childress whose texts generally center on the devastating effects of racial discrimination, sexism and classism on women of colour.

This study is principally concerned with the one-act play of Alice Childress, Wine in the Wilderness, which was written in 1964 and was first performed in 1969 in Boston, Massachusetts, as part of the series, “On Being Black”. In Wine in the Wilderness, Childress is bound by history and tradition since several references can be found in the play that considers Africa as a homeland and wellspring of strength. This paper investigates some questions such as: how does Alice Childress employ the Afrocentric value in the play? What is the purpose of Afrocentrism in the play? Who best represents Afrocentrism throughout the play? This paper delineates that Tommy, as an undereducated heroine and as a true Afrocentrist female in the play, is proud of her black culture and her blackness.

Legal security in general is consistent with the principle of legality and one of its basic features. Legal security is concerned with ensuring the stability of the legal rules regulating the affairs of individuals, the clarity of legal rules and the necessity of informing the addressees of them easily and easily, and the state’s commitment not to surprise or surprise individuals with its laws or regulatory decisions that go against their expectations. legitimate.

If the general principle established with regard to the effect of the annulment ruling is that it applies retroactively, and all the effects created by the annulment must be erased; This is to give priority to the principle of legality over the principle of legal security. However, the application of the principle of the retroactive effect of the abolition ruling on its release may be problematic for the public interest, and this calls for the necessity of balancing both (the principle of legality and the principle of legal security) in a way that achieves the public interest without compromising the rights of individuals and their legitimate expectations. For this purpose, the comparative administrative judiciary tends to restrict the retroactive effect of the annulment ruling.

Meanwhile, the Kurds have a distinct historical tradition, cultural homogeneity, linguistic unity and territorial connection which ultimately make them qualify as a people and according to modern international law, all peoples have the right to self-determination at least in an internal context. In contrast to the state denial and tyrannical policy, the Kurds have not kept their silence but resisted the state. In their resistance, they have tried to resort to peaceful means in the form of demands and agreements and in contemporary times through political and civil parties and organizations but the state has not and does not allow such a movement. This article attempts to illustrate the origins of the issues which are rights and freedoms of the Kurds on the bases of a discriptive analytical method, alongside the recognition of the Kurdish struggle in Turkey as terrorism by the international community under the influence of Turkish media and diplomacy.

Analysis of the water-climatic balances by the Thornthwaite method in Dukan district

2023-09-28T14:52:51+00:00

Water balances in any area are one of the main factors affecting water revenue, the natural environment, and vegetation cover. Water balance refers to the contribution of rainfall, temperature, evaporation, and impact on surface and groundwater in each region. In this research, an analytical and descriptive method was used to analyse the climate data used at Dukan climate station to determine the total amount of water between (2000-2022), which reached (1714.6 mm) For nine (9) months of the year, we have a shortage of water; only three (3) months have surpluses of water, which reached 130.1 mm. To prove whether the evaporation taken from Dukan climate station is the true evaporation of the water balance in the study area, we used the Thornthwaite equation to find out the true water balance based on temperature and annual rainfall for the same period. The results showed that the area had a water shortage of (1287.3 mm) for six (6) months and a surplus of (390.5 mm) for six (6) months. At the same time, the total evaporation, or evapotranspiration, reached (1461.9 mm). Based on the water balance equation, using scientific resources, and showing the relationship between precipitation and evaporation, the research concluded that the water balance varies from year to year depending on the amount of rainfall in the study area, but in general there is a water shortage in the study area during the year, and the highest water shortage in the region is in the summer months.

Deconstructing History of the Lie According to Jacques Derrida

2023-09-28T10:54:44+00:00

Lying, which is the product of reason, is an ancient human phenomenon and one of man's evils. The act of lying is the act of saying. This saying is a vague concept in the history of philosophy and contains various questions. Philosophical questions about lying include other concepts (eg, error, non-lying, truth, non-truth, veracity, deception, mislead, etc.). Since telling the truth is under threat in the new society and the increase in lying has affected the truth, this has made the truth itself questionable. Therefore, the narrative of lying history cannot be neutral unless all anti-lie concepts are explained in it. In this study, the focus will be on the deconstructing the history of lying, which is itself full of lies. This makes writing a lie history difficult.

Hence we come to say that when Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) in his book established a genealogy of History of the Lie deconstructing the concept of lying and rewriting its history becomes a basis for understanding: lie and error, of lie and justification, of lies and bad Intention, of of truth and good intention, of lie and intention, of lie and interest.Therefore, we treat the book " History of the Lie" as a book of deconstructing writing about the meaning of lying. Thus, this research relates to Derrida's deconstructive way of analyzing the history of the lie. This way of research will appear when we work on the concept of lie and its similar concepts and we automatically plunge into the history of lie and dismantling that history. Because many factors in this history have influenced the production of lie, this causes the history of lie to change according to cultures and civilizations, and each culture and civilization has its own history of lie.

Illusion and Reality in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

2023-09-28T11:12:18+00:00

One of the fundamental keys to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the division between illusion and reality. This study aims to demonstrate these two notions and how they function in the novel. Most of the events which take place in Marry Shelley’s Frankenstein are related to illusion and reality. The characters are planning for a specific result and the structure of their plans seems to be something, but in reality, their plans become something different as they are based on illusions. Although this notion is mostly related to the protagonist of the novel, Victor Frankenstein and his creature, the Monster, it has reflected in the perception of other characters as well, like Robert Walton’s journey to North Pole, people’s concern over the Monster, the Monster’s perception to DeLacey family, the readers' perception of Alphonse Family and Justine Moritz’s idea about her sins. The analysis of this study focuses on the illusion of these characters as they believe in their truth, a seeming reality, a fabricated truth and their incapability to distinguish reality from illusion which leads to their downfall because they refuse the reality of their lives.
