Graduate Students’ Attitudes toward Using Traditional and Electronic Resources in Jordanian University Libraries
No full textThe study mainly aimed to identify the attitudes of graduate students in Jordanian universities toward using traditional and electronic sources when visiting university libraries. It also sought to reveal any statistically significant differences in their attitudes based on variables such as gender, course, and university. To achieve these objectives, a descriptive survey approach was employed to collect data and information from graduate students across Jordanian universities. The questionnaire served as the main tool for data collection. The sample was selected using the proportional stratified sampling method and consisted of 220 male and female students from three Jordanian universities: The University of Jordan, Yarmouk University, and Hussein Bin Talal University. Both descriptive and analytical statistical methods were used to interpret and analyze the data. The results indicated that the overall attitude of graduate students in Jordanian universities toward using traditional sources in university libraries was moderate, with a mean score of 3.282. The findings also showed that students held high attitudes toward the negatives of using traditional sources, with some of the most important being the increased time and effort required to obtain information, as well as the lack of references, books, and modern research sources when relying on traditional resources in university libraries. Conversely, the overall attitude of graduate students toward using electronic resources in university libraries was high, with a mean score of 3.811. This positive attitude was attributed to factors such as the ease of accessing the library website from anywhere, the use of electronic databases for searching and retrieving information, and the opportunity to collaborate with international libraries that offer additional resources to users

No full textهدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على مفهوم نظرية المؤامرة، وبيان مفهوم الثقافة السياسية العربية، والبحث في مدى انتشار وشيوع نظريات المؤامرة في الثقافة السياسية العربية من خلال استعراض شواهد تاريخية قديمة ومعاصرة على ذلك، مستندةً إلى الجمع بين مقولات المدارس الفلسفية التحليلية والتاريخ الثقافي والدراسات الثقافية التي عالجت نظريات المؤامرة. وقد تم التوصل إلى أن المدارس التي نظّرت للمؤامرة مختلفة ومتعددة، فمنها ما يرى نظريات المؤامرة كحقل بحثي دون وجود موقف أيديولوجي أو قيمي معها أو ضدها، ومنها ما يرى في نظريات المؤامرة أنها غير علمية، وأنها تمثل خطراً على القيم التعددية الليبرالية الديمقراطية، وتحفز التطرف الفكري، ومنها ما ينظر للمؤامرة من منطلق نفسي مرتبط بالأمراض الذهنية والنفسية، ومنها الدراسات الفلسفية التحليلية، إلى جانب الدراسات الثقافية. كما تم التوصل إلى أن نظرية المؤامرة تشهد رواجاً في العالم العربي؛ وآخرها نظرية المؤامرة المعاصرة التي تُؤمن برواية «الحرب ضد الإسلام»؛ حيث تُركز على القضايا العامة بما في ذلك العلمنة. وفي ضوء ما تم التوصل إليه من نتائج، تمت التوصية بإعادة إحياء دور الجامعة العربية، وتوليتها دوراً في حل المشاكل العربية- العربية، وتركيز الجهود على محاربة الأطماع الخارجية بهذه المنطقة التي تمتلك العديد من الثروات، إلى جانب موقعها الجيو- استراتيجي الحيوي، وبحث العرب عن تحالفات دولية جديدة بعد أن تم كشف كافة السياسات الأطماعية في المنطقة من قبل القوى الكبرى وعلى رأسها الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية
This study aimed to identify the concept of conspiracy theory, explain the concept of Arab political culture, and research the extent of the spread and prevalence of conspiracy theories in Arab political culture by reviewing ancient and contemporary historical evidence of that, based on the collection between the statements of the analytical philosophical schools, cultural history, and cultural studies that dealt with conspiracy theories. The study revealed that scholars have theorized about conspiracy are different and numerous. Some of them see conspiracy theories as a research field without having an ideological or value position for or against them, others see conspiracy theories as unscientific and that they represent a threat to pluralistic, liberal democratic values, and stimulate intellectual extremism. Some of them look at the conspiracy from a psychological perspective linked to mental and psychological illnesses, including analytical philosophical studies, in addition to cultural studies. It was also found that the conspiracy theory is gaining popularity in the Arab world. The latest of which is the contemporary conspiracy theory that believes in the narrative of the “war against Islam.” It focuses on general issues, including secularization, as well as other issues related to international power politics between modern states and the Crusades. In light of the results obtained, it was recommended to revive the role of the Arab League, assume a role in solving Arab-Arab problems, and focus efforts on fighting foreign ambitions in this region, which possesses many wealth, in addition to its vital geo-strategic location, and discussed the Arabs sought new International alliances after all the greedy policies in the region were exposed by the major powers, led by the United States of Americ

Design and Implementation of a Smart Solar Tracking System Using Hydraulic Actuation
No full textThis research presents the design and implementation of a smart single-axis solar tracking system that introduces a novel integration of hydraulic actuation with minimalistic sensor control. Unlike traditional trackers that rely on multiple light sensors and complex mechanical setups, the proposed system uses a simplified control mechanism driven by a single-point light detection strategy to maintain panel alignment with the sun. The core innovation lies in replacing motor-driven tracking mechanisms with a hydraulic actuator, offering smoother, more durable movement with reduced maintenance. Additionally, the system integrates smart monitoring via Arduino, enabling real-time data processing and decision-making without relying on costly components like GPS or RTC modules. The proposed tracker is developed, validated, and assessed using Experimental works, demonstrating that it delivers a substantial increase in daily energy output — achieving approximately 43% more than fixed solar panels—demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach. The system’s simplicity, efficiency, and robustness make it ideal for small-scale or off-grid applications, providing a reliable alternative to more expensive or complicated solutions. This study is positioned as a useful and inventive development in low-maintenance solar energy systems since it combines hydraulic tracking, intelligent control, and simplified sensor logic. In addition to bridging the performance and affordability gap, this created solution offers a workable strategy to further the adoption of renewable energy in underserved populations
A Framework for the Role of Vegetation Selection in Enhancing Educational Outdoor Spaces through AI Technology.
No full textWell-designed outdoor spaces are increasingly recognised as critical components of environmental sustainability and community building within higher education institutions. Among the most influential elements in shaping these spaces is the strategic selection of vegetation, which must balance aesthetics, functionality, ecological value, and long-term maintenance. However, traditional plant selection methods remain time-consuming, labour-intensive, and often dependent on subjective judgement, posing significant challenges for landscape architects and campus planners. This paper explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative solution to enhance the plant selection process in educational outdoor environments. It introduces a comprehensive AI-driven framework that integrates key variables—including suitable vegetation types, site-specific environmental conditions, and the diverse needs of campus users—to support more efficient and context-responsive design decisions. By leveraging AI’s capacity to analyse complex datasets and detect nuanced patterns, this approach enables landscape architects to make more informed, evidence-based, and adaptable choices. The proposed method empowers designers to create outdoor spaces that are not only visually engaging but also sustainable, climate-responsive, and tailored to the well-being of campus communities. Additionally, the tool contributes to the broader shift toward data-informed design practices in landscape architecture, aligning with global goals of resilience, environmental responsibility, and resource efficiency. The paper advocates for a scalable, scientifically grounded methodology that enhances both the quality and impact of campus landscapes, offering a forward-thinking model for educational institutions aiming to integrate sustainability into their physical environments

The Role of the International Criminal Court in Protecting Human Rights (1998-2018)
No full textThe study aimed to analyze the reality and nature of the roles of the International Criminal Court in protecting human rights at the international level, as well as to validate the hypothesis and answer its questions. An institutional-legal approach and an analytical descriptive approach were employed. The study reached many results, the most important of which is that the statute of the International Criminal Court addresses human rights violations within the same framework outlined in Article 1 of the Code of Crimes against the Peace and Security of Humanity. However, these violations are classified under the broader category of crimes against humanity, rather than explicitly as violations of human rights. The study recommended that the role of the Security Council in its relationship with the International Criminal Court should be limited, even if political considerations threaten to overshadow the court’s work. The court must deliver real, not selective, justice and take measures against countries that do not comply with its decisions to ensure their enforcement
