The Problem of Translating Antonyms in The Holy Qur’an into German’’, in an analytical manner: Das Übersetzungsproblem der Antonyme im Heiligen Koran ins Deutsche Analytische Studie
...Show More Authors

The present study is entitled “Problems of Translating Holy Qur’an Antonyms into German: An Analytical Study”. It discusses some of the problems of translating Holy Qur’an verses that contain words so opposite in meaning to another word. The main concern of the study stresses some of the errors in translating the oppositeness of certain words of Holy Qur’an from Arabic into other languages like German, a problem that can be traced back to the fact that such words may have two opposites in meaning, one is considered and the other is completely neglected.

      The errors in translating al Qur’an Antonyms can be summarized for several reasons: literal translation, ignorance of the different views of both the linguists and AlQur’an interpreters in conveying the meanings of the opposites, generalizing and specification of the opposites in meaning, interpreting one main meaning of the opposites and ignoring the other one, the absence of the word in the target language that closely indicates the meaning in the source language, depending entirely on the most correct opinion of the meaning, ignorance of an extra meaning other than the opposites, depending on the personal interpretation and mistranslating certain opposites either intentionally or unintentionally.

Vorwort

Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit handelt das Übersetzungsproblem von Antonymen in den Heiligen Koran- Versen ins Deutsche auf beschreibende und analytische Weise ab. Dieses Thema ist großer von Bedeutung besonders für die nicht-arabische Muslime, d.h., die deutschstämmige Muslime, die die arabische Sprache nicht sprechen kann. Der Grund für diese Studie ist das Auftreten einiger Fehler beim Übersetzen von Gegensätzen im Koran ins Deutsche und  veranschaulicht sie auch in vereinfachter Form die Gründe dieser Fehler bei der Übersetzung von diesen Gegensätzen. Der Grund für diese Fehler im Übersetzungsprozess ist die Existenz von Wörtern, die zwei gegensätzlichen Bedeutungen in den einigen Koran- Versen, sozusagen (die Antonyme) enthalten, d.h., ein Gegenwort, das zu einem anderen Wort eine gegensätzliche Bedeutung hat, oder aus dem  Semantikaspekt ist es ( das Antonym) ein Wort, dessen Bedeutung das genaue Gegenteil zu der eines anderen Wortes ausdrückt.

Die Forschungsfrage liegt darin, dass mehrere Fehler beim Übersetzen der Antonyme im Heiligen Koran gemacht werden. Die Ursachen dieser Übersetzungsfehler können wir ja auf die Wörter, die zwei gegensätzlichen Bedeutungen enthalten, zurückführen, deshalb hatten die Übersetzungen oftmals vor, eine von den beiden Bedeutungen zu nehmen und die andere zu ignorieren. Wir können überhaupt einige dieser Probleme aufzählen, in die die Übersetzer des Heiligen Korans beim Übersetzen dieser Antonyme geraten sind. Sie sind zum Beispiel: die wörtliche Übersetzung; die Übersetzer der Koransbedeutungen haben keine  gute bzw. ausreichende Kenntnis über die  Meinungen von Linguisten hinsichtlich der Bedeutung dieses Wortes; die Differenzen der Linguisten und Koran-Interpreten über die Bedeutungen des Korans; Verallgemeinerung der semantischen Bedeutung der Ausdrücke; das Fehlen eines Wortes in der Zielsprache deutet auf die gleiche Bedeutung in der Ausgangssprache hin; die persönliche Meinung des Übersetzers und die Antonyme können absichtlich oder versehentlich nicht übersetzt werden. Alle diese Dinge waren insgesamt die Hauptursache für die Fehler beim Übersetzen der Kontrastausdrücke in den heiligen Koran Versen.

Background: Different diagnostic definition and criteria have been recommended by different expert groups for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, however, it’s prevalence in the same population could differ depending on the definition used yielding different results. In Iraq, there is a lack of research comparing these different diagnostic definitions.

Objective: To find out the most suitable metabolic syndrome definition to be used for Iraqi people.

 Methods: 320 participants were recruited for this study, 53.4% men and 46.6% women, aged between 25-85 years, visiting Baghdad Teaching Hospital, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to different definition

Study the Efficiency of Drilling With Casing Operation in an Iraqi Oil Field
...Show More Authors

Drilling with casing (DWC) can be considered as a modern drilling technique in which both of drilling and casing operations done in the same time by using the casing to transfer the hydraulic and mechanical power to the bit instead of traditional drilling string. To overcome oil well control, minimizing the total cost through enhancing drilling efficiency, drilling with casing was proposed as an enabling technology.

   Two surface sections (17 1/2 - and 12 1/4- inch) were drilled successfully in Rumaila oil field with  casing strings which reached 655m and 1524m measured depths respectively.

   By using DWC technique, the total drill/case phase time was reduced up to 20% comparing to conventional

The initial stability of dental implant with horizontal plate (An in vitro study)
...Show More Authors

Background: The Initial (primary) stability is one of the factors that play an important role in the success of the dental implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the initial stability of dental implant with horizontal plate by using five analytical tests: insertion torque, removal torque, resonance frequency analysis, push-in test and pull-out test. Materials and methods: Two different lengths of dental implants (5mm and 10mm) were tested in this study; each dental implant was 4mm in diameter with a square threads shape of 1mm pitch and 0.5mm depth. The crestal area was 4.2mm diameter contained a right angle margin circumferential ring while the apical area was tapered with two self-tapping grooves. In this study, the initial s

Land use change in Baghdad City and assessment of the Jadriyah and Umm Al- Khanazeer Island Important Bird Area (IBA) from 1984 to 2020
...Show More Authors

Land use change, particularly the expansion of urban areas and associated human activities at the expense of natural and semi-natural areas, is a major ecological issue in urban areas around the world. Climate change being a very strong additional driver for changing the temperature and habitat in the cities. This also applies to Baghdad, Iraq, where urbanisation and climate change exerts a major pressure on the natural habitats of the city, and thus may affect the ability of city planners to adapt to future climate change scenarios. Here we present evidence of substantial growth in urban areas, increases in temperature, and degradation of natural vegetation within Baghdad city by using Remote Sensing techniques and an assessment for the
