No full textThe current study aimed to examine the impact of an electronic training program on the development of graphic design skills among tenth-grade female students. The sample consisted of 50 students from Khadija Bint Khuwaylid Secondary School for Girls. An experimental design was employed to achieve the research objectives. The study population included tenth graders in Zarqa Governorate, and both experimental and control groups were arranged accordingly. A questionnaire and a test were developed, validated for validity and reliability, to meet the study\u27s aims. The electronic training software was used in accordance with the experimental procedure, and the results were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. The findings demonstrated that there were statistically significant differences (α = 0.05) between the experimental and control groups in the development of graphic design skills, as measured by the graphic design skills exam. Additionally, the results reflected the perceptions of the experimental group\u27s students regarding the program. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education adopt the electronic training program, as it could enhance the development of graphic design skills among tenth-grade students

The Western position on the Palestinian cause
No full textThe European positions on the Palestinian cause varied between clarity and ambiguity. For example, Britain’s position was transparent and clear towards Israel regarding the necessity of implementing international resolutions regarding Jerusalem and the territories occupied in 1967. On the other hand, there were other statements saying that Jerusalem is an unresolved issue that must be negotiated, and this is what the majority of European union countries have adopted, through a statement regarding their categorical refusal to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and to acknowledge the lands of Jerusalem are occupied territories, and to resolve the dispute over them by sitting at the negotiating table. The European Union took a positive position on the problems of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, including the issue of Jerusalem and the rights of the Palestinian people, regarding the necessity of establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital on the territories occupied in 1967. Thus, it rejected the Israeli settlement policy, adhering to the two-state solution, and refusing to recognize the Israeli changes in the territories occupied in 1967. This is in addition to the European Union support for Palestinian reconciliation at more than one stage, and its willingness to resolve unresolved issues, and provide financial support. All of these data indicate that the European Union is qualified to play the role of mediator in the peace settlement process. However, it remains limited due to different factors: mainly the American hegemony and its attempt to limit European participation in global issues, including the settlement of the Palestinian issue. Given the increased awareness of the European public opinion on the Palestinian issue and the suffering of the Palestinian people, its solidarity and support for the Palestinian people in various forms is a mere proof of its significant role, solidarity, and moral responsibility especially after the Israeli media tried to obscure the facts and distort the image of the Palestinian people, whose resistance was described as terrorist. This awareness was accompanied by the European Union›s influential role in the peace process in the Middle East and its endeavor to find a solution to the Palestinian issue
Digital Literature: A Modern Concept of Contemporary Literature
No full textSince the earliest eras of his existence on this Earth, man has attempted to document his daily experiences using various available means: from carving on rocks and stones to drawing in caves, then documenting on animal skins after the invention of letters, and later writing on paper. In our modern era, we have reached documentation on computers, which represents a significant shift in the way we document due to its advanced features that surpass human intellect. In this research, I aimed to shed light on a new literary genre that emerged from the computer two decades ago and can only be read on a computer screen. It has been named digital literature, resulting from the convergence of literature with digital technology. This shift has compelled writers to transition from traditional formats to new terms and languages that have influenced their performance. They now need to master not only the language of words but also another language—the language of computers, the digital language. In this study, I have adopted the descriptive-analytical method which relies on analysis and comparison to uncover the ambiguity surrounding the concept and to reach conclusions and generalizations about this topic. The study aimed to identify the most prominent strategies related to digital literary texts, starting from the elements that constitute its structure, such as language, sound, and image, and working on documents, files, and multimedia through the computer. It is considered an open text with multiple signs, lacking a specific shape, and can be read in a non-linear and non-sequential manner, allowing recipients to interact with these texts by deconstructing textual and technical elements and then reassembling them according to their perspective and understanding of its components. Digital literature, like other literary genres, has specific characteristics and various literary types, unified by the digital dimension that connects them to this cyberspace. It manifests in multiple forms, such as digital poetry, digital novels, digital plays, and other genres that have emerged from this virtual space. Literature, like everything else in existence, evolves and changes according to the requirements of the era in which it exists, as it is the vessel of thought and the record that preserves the history and civilization of nations from extinction

Analysis of Linguistic Issues in Audiovisual Translation - Subtitling
No full textAudiovisual Translation (AVT) is a term used for the translation which appears on screen. This product can be written in the form of subtitles, or spoken as in dubbing and it could be also done as a voiceover. This study discusses the AVT with subtitling as an example. Due to the massive growth of media, the need for professional translators and good translation is high. This study used an animated TV series called Fruits Basket as the main example of subtitling. This TV show is an English dubbed version of the Japanese series consisting of 26 episodes. Therefore, the first mission here is to subtitle the first three episodes from this series, Fruits Basket, from English into Arabic. This series has been chosen to be subtitled because of its creative unusual plot and the excessive use of slang and idioms. In addition, this animated show is known for its emotional characters’ lives and morals depicted in a touching way. For that reason, one of the aims of this project is to put these morals into words that catch the target audience’s hearts
The New Modifications to the Diagnostic Criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder in DSM-5 and their Impact on the Field of Autism Spectrum Disorder
No full textThis study aimed to highlight the modifications that affected the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in May 2013. These modifications impacted many aspects related to the disorder, such as the creation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as a separate category that represents a spectrum of symptoms, replacing the category of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs) that included Autistic Disorder and other disorders according to DSM-IV-TR. Additionally, the revisions involved the integration, development, and deletion of certain diagnostic criteria related to the disorder. The article also addresses the results of these modifications, which reflect on the field of ASD with respect to prevalence rates, the status of individuals previously diagnosed under DSM-IV-TR, their continued access to services, and the manner of diagnosis according to the new criteria, as well as other implications of these changes. The article recommends designing a new test based on the new criteria included in DSM-5
