    The Red Sea is one of the main traffic routes of oil tankers, resulting in environmental damage and marine resource pollution due to the spillage. Quantitative analysis of tar ball was used to detect the concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and total aromatic hydrocarbons (TAHs). In this study, six stations across the Red Sea coast of Yemen were selected according to their suitability and accessibility. An ultraviolet fluorescence technique was used to analyze the TPHs and TAHs after being extracted by an ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction procedure. The concentrations of TPHs ranged from 175.67 ± 11.20 mg/g to 708.55 ± 6.57 mg/g, and for TAHs were from 16.06 ± 1.89 mg/g to 48.25 ± 1.76 mg/g. The highest values of TPHs and TAHs were noticed in Ras Isa-II station, which reflected a continued oil spill from the Safir oil loading terminal. The study revealed significant environmental and health risks to marine organisms and humans

    يسعى هذا البحث إلى بيان التَّوسُّعِ الدلالي في أسماء الإبل وصِفاتِها، إذ اختَلَفت وتَعددَت وتَنوٍعَت باختلافِ الزمانِ والمكانِ واللهجاتِ، وكان لذكرها في القُرآنِ الكَريمِ دَلالةٌ على اهتمامِ العربِ بها، إذ وردت بأسماءٍ مُترادِفةٍ فاختلفت باختلافِ المقامِ الذي وَرَدَت فيه، فتارة بلفظِ الإبِلِ، وتارة بلفظ العيرِ، وتارة بلفظ الناقة. وإن رَبطَ الدرسِ الصرفيِ بألفاظِ أسمائِها وصِفاتِها من المواضيعِ التي تُثري الدرسَ اللغوي؛ لأنها تربطُ بين الألفاظ اللغوية وبُنَاها الصرفية، ومعرفة ما يطرأُ على بُنيَتِهَا الداخلية من زيادةٍ، أو حذفٍ، أو اشتقاقٍ وغيرِها من المسائل الصرفيةِ، فكانَ حديثُنا في هذا البحثِ عن معجم الجيم تحت عنوان: "أسماءُ الإِبِلِ وصِفاتُها في معجم الجيم للشيباني(تـ 206هـ ) دراسةٌ صَرفِيةٌ ودَلالِيةٌ"، إذ سِرتُ فيه بدايةً بالصيغةِ الصرفيةِ وِفقَ أبواب الصرف وتقسيماته المعروفة، ثم عرضتُ كل لفظ من ألفاظِ الإِبلِ اسماً كانَ أو صفةً في معجم الجيم، وترتيب تلك الألفاظ في محاورَ وِفقَ بنيتها الصرفية، مُتَّبِعاً في هذا البحثِ المنهج الوصفي، ولأنَّ أسماءَ الإِبلِ وصِفاتِها لم تأتِ في كل أبواب الصرف؛ لذا تمَّ تَقسيمُ البحثِ بعد مقدمته على ثلاثةِ مباحثَ : المبحث الأول: ما وردَ من صفات الإبلِ على وزن الأبنية الثلاثية والرباعية والخماسية. والمبحث الثاني: ما وردَ من أسماء الإبلِ وصِفاتِها على وزن أبنية المصادر والمشتقات: والمبحث الثالث: ما ورد من أسماء الإبلِ وصِفاتِها على وزنِ أبنيةِ جموع الكثرة، ومنتهى الجموع، وخلص البحث بخاتمة تضمنت أهم النتائج التي توصلتُ إليها.This study aimed to demonstrate the semantic expansion in the names of camels and their attributes, as they differed, multiplied and diversified according to time, place and dialects. Their mention in the Holy Quran was indicative of the Arabs\u27 interest in them, as they were mentioned with synonymous names that differed according to the situation in which they were mentioned. Sometimes they were mentioned using the word camel, sometimes with the word Alear (camel), and sometimes with the word she-camel. Linking the morphological study to the words of their names and attributes is one of the topics that enrich the linguistic study. That is because it links linguistic words and their morphological structures, and also to have knowledge on what happens to their internal structure of addition, deletion, or derivation and other morphological issues. The discussion in this study was on the Jeem dictionary under the title: “Names of Camels and Their Attributes in the Jeem Dictionary of Al-Shaibani (d. 206 AH): A Morphological and Semantic Study”. The study commenced with the morphological form according to the chapters of morphology and its known divisions. Then every word of camel was presented, whether a noun or an adjective in the Jeem dictionary, and arranged those words into sections according to their morphological structure. This study adopted the descriptive method as the names of camels and their attributes did not come in all chapters of morphology. This study was divided after its introduction into three sections: The first section covered what was mentioned about camel names and their attributes according to the weight of the triliteral, quadriliteral and quintiliteral structures. The second section covered what was mentioned about camel names and their attributes according to the weight of the sources and derivative structures. The third section covered what was mentioned about camel names and their attributes according to the weight of the structures of the plurals of abundance and the ultimate plurals. The current study concluded with a conclusion that included the most important results

    Comparative Study of Functional Outcome of Posterior Tibialis Tendon Transfer to Middle Cuneiform Bone and Anterior Tibialis Tendon with Other Techniques for Management of Foot Drop

    No full text
    Background: Injury of the Common Peroneal Nerve leads to Foot Drop and causes disability in the gait of the patient. The common cause of Common Peroneal Nerve injury is trauma, which is either a penetrating injury at the line of its course or fracture of the upper part of fibula, and sometimes due to iatrogenic injury during orthopedic surgery. The disability of the patient includes loss of dorsiflexion, ankle eversion, and toes extension. During normal walking, the heel strikes the ground, so normally, the ankle remains in slight extension or natural position, and in the swing phase, an active extrusion of toes and ankle up to the ground, but in Foot Drop during heel strike, the patient slaps his foot on the ground and in the swing phase the patient drags it along the ground, so compensatory, the patient flexes hip more than the normal to lift the entire foot off the ground, i.e. the stepping gait. The target of our technique is to restore the dynamic dorsiflexion of the foot and normal toe-heel gait. There are various procedures and techniques used to correct Foot Drop; among them, tendon transfer is tendon or tendon-to-bone transfer. The Aim of the Study: In our study, we transferred the Posterior Tibialis Tendon to both the Middle Cuneiform bone and the Anterior Tibialis Tendon as an alternative technique for managing Foot Drop. The aim of this study is to compare the functional outcomes of Posterior Tibialis Tendon transfer to these two sites, using the criteria described by Carayon et al. Patients & Methods: The present study is prospective study conducted in the Department of Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery at Al-Wahda Teaching Hospital, Thamar-University, and the Plastic Surgery Department in the 48 Model Hospital. The patients included thirty patients from May 2015 to May 2024. All the patients were male, and their ages ranged from fifteen to forty years old. The patients were classified according to the techniques used for reconstruction into the following groups: Group (1): Transfer of Posterior Tibialis Tendon to Anterior Tibialis Tendon and Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon by dividing the Posterior Tibialis Tendon longitudinal and tying by Pulvertaft weave method by non-absorbable suture. Group (2): The technique used for reconstruction of Foot Drop in this group is the transfer of Posterior Tibialis Tendon to the 2nd Metatarsal bone by tying the tendon around the Metatarsal bone. Group (3): The Posterior Tibialis Tendon is inserted into the Middle Cuneiform bone by making a hole in the superior surface of the Cuneiform bone to the planter surface of the foot and tied by Prolen or Ethicon in the planter side of the same bone (tendinosis). The tendon elongation by tendon graft from the Plantaris muscle tendon or Palmaris Longus Tendon. The other side is inserted into both the Posterior Tibialis Tendon and Flexor Hallucis Longus. Results: The final record after post-operative follow-up for 24 months, we have noted that: In group (1), the results were excellent in two cases (20%), good in three cases (30%), moderate in two cases (20%), and finally poor results in two cases (20%). In the same group, two cases were complicated by surgical site infection and treated with antibiotic and observation, and the infection subsided. Regarding patient satisfaction, there were five cases out of ten patients (50%) who were unsatisfied, and all five cases underwent reoperation after one year by another technique. For group (2), after 24 months of follow-up, post-operatively, the majority of patients in group (2) were excellent and good according to the Carayon scale. Six patients out of ten had excellent results (60%). Also, there were two cases out of ten (20%) with good functional outcomes, only one patient out of ten patients had a moderate functional outcome (10%), and one case out of ten patients with poor outcomes (10%). Regarding post-operative infection of the same group, there was only one case complicated by surgical site infection. Eighteen cases out of ten patients were satisfied (80%). Regarding re-oparation, there were two patients out of ten patients (20%), redo the operation after two years. In group (3), there were seven patients out of ten patients with excellent results (70%). Also, there were two cases out of ten patients (20%) with good functional outcomes, no cases in moderate (0%), and one case had poor results (10%). There was only one case complicated by post-operative infection which was a surgical infection at the site of connection of the Posterior Tibialis Tendon with Anterior Tibialis and Flexor Hallucis Tendon, which we managed by debridement and redo the operation after six months by the same technique. Conclusion: In our study, group 3, most of the patients had excellent results (70%), and combination tendon to tendon and tendon to the bone have an advantage over the other techniques with a lower complication rate, such as the durability of restoring the function of dorsiflexion of the ankle and never recurrent, and also no need for further use of a splint with a good balanced foot. In the third group, all the patients were satisfied, and all the patients followed up for more than two years with excellent function outcomes with no drawbacks and only one case needed to re-operation in all the three groups. &nbsp

    Representative samples were collected from 22 sites across Yemen. The geochemical analysis found that the SiO2 content ranges from 40.40 to 55.60%, the Al2O3 content ranges from 12.70 to 16.10%, the Fe2O3 content ranges from 8.41 to 15.80%, the CaO content ranges from 3.66 to 11.05%, and the MgO content ranges from 1.30 to 11.40%. TiO2 content ranges from 1.11 to 5.56%, NaO2 content from 1.88 to 4.88%, and K2O content from 0.67 to 3.25%. The calculations of the acidity, viscosity modules and fusibility constant of the investigated rocks showed the suitability of the basaltic rocks locations for the production of basalt fiber, except the Hajda, Mafraq Al Makha, Karish, Wadi Al Jima, and Wadi Qaradh locations, as a result of the high acidity module The results of the geochemical analysis of the studied samples were compared with the geochemical analyses of similar rocks from different countries used in basalt fiber production. The comparison showed significant similarities in the results, indicating that the studied rocks are suitable for basalt fiber production. A petrographically study on basalt rocks after they melted at temperatures ranging between 1190 and 1240 °C, and it was found that they consist mainly of basalt glass. Melting experiments were carried out, which showed that the beginning of the fusion was at a temperature ranging between 1030 and 1150 °C, and the fusion was completed at a temperature ranging between 1200 and 1220 °C, while the temperature at which the crystallization process began was at a temperature ranging between 1190 and 1200 °C. The study concluded that the studied basalt rock sites are suitable for manufacturing basalt fiber
