The third is dedicated to Abduljabbar’s novel and how the elements of picaresque genre appear in the novel and play an important role in its developm

Abstract:

      In this research we discussed the parameter estimation and variable selection in Tobit quantile regression model in present of multicollinearity problem. We used elastic net technique as an important technique for dealing with both multicollinearity and variable selection. Depending on the data we proposed Bayesian Tobit hierarchical model with four level prior distributions . We assumed both tuning parameter are random variable and estimated them with the other unknown parameter in the model .Simulation study was used for explain the efficiency of the proposed method and then we compared our approach with (Alhamzwi 2014 & standard QR) .The result illustrated that our approach

يعد ( التحريض) من الوظائف المهمة التي يضطلع بها المسرح لدى جميع الشعوب التي لاتجد فضاءاً متكاملا للتفكير الحر، لابل هو حتى لدى الشعوب التي تتمتع أو تدعي التمتع بفضاء واسع للحرية والديمقراطية ولعل هذه الوظيفة ليست صنيعة مسرح الآن وإنما هي امتداد لعصور مسرحية موغلة في القدم، إلا إن مايميز هذه الوظيفة هو المظهر الذي تبدو فيه ، إذ إنها محكومة بطبيعة الحياة الاجتماعية والسياسية وبطبيعة المجتمع نفسه من حيث فاعلية

تنطلق مشكلة البحث الحالي من دراسة ماهية العلاقة المتغيرة ما بين الادراك كونه العملية التي تسهم بقسط كبير في تعرف مكونات البيئة المحيطة بنا ومعطياتها وكيفية التكيف معها وبين التذوق الفني والحكم الجمالي اللذين يعتمدان اساساً في نشؤوهما على عملية ادراك المعطيات الحسية للوسيط المادي المتمثل بالعمل الفني فالتذوق الفني والحكم الجمالي يتأثران بالمستوى الادراكي والخبرات المعرفية وتراكمها للافراد, لذلك تظهر أخ

The paper deals with the contemporary American playwright, Kenneth Bernard,
and his Theatre of the Ridiculous. This theatre, which originated in the 1960s and
1970s, aims at undermining dramatic and social conventions, and political,
psychological, sexual, and cultural categories. It makes use of mass culture
entertainment in America (television, popular songs, old movies, the circus) in its
attempt to make us recognize the world as “ridiculous,” a world which is both
brutal and farcically trivial and insignificant, a world of ruthless powers, of freaks,
clowns, and victims, of hysteria and absence of truth, a world, as Bernard describes it,
“without hope, mercy, history, or any saving sociology or ideology.

It was Aristotle who first drew attention to the superior quality of literature to the other factual fields of knowledge. Contradicting his predecessor Plato on the issue of „truth,‟ Aristotle believed that „poetry is more philosophical and deserves more serious attention than history: for while poetry concerns itself with universal truths, history considers only particular facts.‟ (1) The critical attention to the disparity between the literary truth and the historical truth grew up throughout ages to flourish in the Renaissance and after with a bunch of distinctive views on this subject. Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586), for example, found that literature does not offer a literal description of reality but rather a heightened vers

Many objective optimizations (MaOO) algorithms that intends to solve problems with many objectives (MaOP) (i.e., the problem with more than three objectives) are widely used in various areas such as industrial manufacturing, transportation, sustainability, and even in the medical sector.  Various approaches of MaOO algorithms are available and employed to handle different MaOP cases. In contrast, the performance of the MaOO algorithms assesses based on the balance between the convergence and diversity of the non-dominated solutions measured using different evaluation criteria of the quality performance indicators. Although many evaluation criteria are available, yet most of the evaluation and benchmarking of the MaOO with state-of-art a
