Translating the Qur’anic real meaning into other languages is considered to be a unique challenge as it is deeply rooted in Arabic culture and language. Thus, this operation often loses the rhetoric and poetic beauty of the Qur’anic text, hindering a deep understanding of its spiritual and moral significance. This study constitutes a part of a comparison study of certain kinship terms in Qur’anic Arabic' abawayn / wâlidayn, zawj / ba'al, and imra’a / zawj / ṣaẖiba and their equivalents in French and English versions. It is actually about providing some details on these Arabic terms and their equivalents by examining how they have been used in the Qur’anic context to indicate specific meaning. It is divided into two main parts
... Show MoreThe aim of this essay is to use a single-index model in developing and adjusting Fama-MacBeth. Penalized smoothing spline regression technique (SIMPLS) foresaw this adjustment. Two generalized cross-validation techniques, Generalized Cross Validation Grid (GGCV) and Generalized Cross Validation Fast (FGCV), anticipated the regular value of smoothing covered under this technique. Due to the two-steps nature of the Fama-MacBeth model, this estimation generated four estimates: SIMPLS(FGCV) - SIMPLS(FGCV), SIMPLS(FGCV) - SIM PLS(GGCV), SIMPLS(GGCV) - SIMPLS(FGCV), SIM PLS(GGCV) - SIM PLS(GGCV).

Show MoreThe issue of noise transmission between residential units in high-rise buildings poses a significant challenge to privacy and auditory comfort, especially amid increasing urban expansion and population density. This study aims to address this problem by evaluating sound insulation strategies in high-rise residential units and assessing their alignment with international standards within local contexts. Six global residential projects were analyzed based on their adoption of advanced acoustic insulation solutions. The methodology involved examining key design elements such as the spatial distribution between quiet and noisy areas, and the use of insulation materials and techniques for walls, floors, ceilings, doors, and w

This study investigates the use of recycled plastic aggregate (RPA), as a partial replacement for conventional coarse aggregates by weight in lightweight concrete production. Concrete mixtures with different concentrations of RPA at (0, 15, 30, and 45%) were prepared and cured for 7, 14, 28, and 56 days. Including RPA into concrete reduced both density and compressive strength as the replacement level increased. Density decreased from 2,347 kg/m³ at 0% RPA to 1,895 kg/m³ at 45% replacement. Similarly, 28 days compressive strength decreased from 30.43 N

Recent advancements in nanotechnology have introduced various nanomaterials such as alumina (NA), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and silica (NS) as potential asphalt modifiers. These materials possess unique properties that address challenges related to asphalt fatigue. However, their effectiveness depends on proper dispersion and mixing techniques. This review examines the mixing methods used for each nanomaterial to ensure uniform distribution within the asphalt matrix and maximize performance benefits. Recent research findings are synthesized to elucidate how these nanomaterials and their

Show MoreThis literature review investigates the seismic behavior of low-rise steel structural frames with fixed, pinned, and base-isolated column bases under single and successive earthquake excitations. Experimental shaking table tests and Abaqus finite element models are utilized to evaluate the impact of base flexibility on structural performance measures, including inter-story drift, base shear, and acceleration response. Base-isolated systems, including elastomeric, lead-rubber, and friction pendulum bearings, demonstrate superior energy dissipation capacity and reduced seismic demand compared to traditional fixed and pinned bases. While pinned bases offer rotational flexibility that reduces moment concentration, they are s

... Show MoreThe sociology of artistic expression is not a simple process, especially when it represents the ideas of a student who is under the influence of aesthetic emotion and does not merely copy or transmit artwork. Rather, it is a collection of repositories linked to sociological ideas, customs, and traditions, whether this copying is related to nature or from the student's own repertoire of expression and ideas.
The sociology of expression explains the artistic preoccupations of art students from a philosophical and artistic perspective, and how to find ways to employ them, what their artistic vision is, and the ways to use these methods in artistic expression and address them among students.
