The foreign policy of King Abdulaziz (1927-1953) : a study in the international relations of an emerging state
Get PDFKing Abdulaziz stood out as a major figure in Saudi domestics and foreign policy. He laid the foundation for Saudi foreign policy and international relations. Available
studies on King Abdulaziz's foreign policy either concentrated on earlier periods or dealt with part of his era. This study deals with the whole period of King Abdulaziz, approaches his foreign policy as a case study of a newly-emerging state and assesses the problems associated with this case.
The study is organised as follows: chapter one discusses the rise of King Abdulaziz and the Saudi achievement of a sense of statehood. Chapter two explores the problems which confront newly-emerging states in the formulation and
implementation of their foreign policy. Chapter three discusses the genesis of Saudi foreign policy structure. Chapter four focuses on Saudi Arabia's policy towards the
affairs of the Arabian Peninsula. Chapter five examines the policy of King Abdulaziz towards the Arab World. Chapter six adresses the King's policy in the area of Islamic
affairs. Chapter seven analyzes the King's relations with Britain after the Treaty of Jeddah of 1927. Chapter eight deals with Saudi policy towards the U. S.
The study hopes to provide a better understanding of the process of Saudi foreign policy making under King Abdulaziz. A major finding of this study is throwing light
on the problems experienced by Saudi Arabia as a newly-emerging state while making and implementing its foreign policy, particularly, in relation to a number of
specific and general factors underlying the making and execution of this foreign policy. In this sense the study hopes to make a modest contribution to the available
literature on King Abdulaziz's foreign policy

Box 80205, King Abdulaziz University, 21589, Saudi Arabia, Tel +96612 6952000 Ext 21062, Email [email protected]: Fungal infections, especially those caused have emerged as a significant medical concern over the past three decades, particularly among immunocompromised patients. However, recent studies have highlighted the increasing prevalence of fungal infections resembling yeast other than Candida, such as trichosporonosis, especially among immunosuppressed individuals worldwide. Trichosporon has been identified as a significant contributor to superficial and invasive infections. Invasive trichosporonosis, primarily affecting immunocompromised patients, poses a significant threat with high mortality rates.Purpose: The current study aimed to explore the clinical epidemiology of Trichosporon spp at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) in Saudi Arabia.Methods: This retrospective study aimed to assess the clinical epidemiology of Trichosporon spp. infections in microbiology cultures obtained from KAUH in Saudi Arabia. The study analyzed data from patients over a five-year period, focusing on demographic, clinical, and microbiological characteristics.Results: This study encompassed 21 participants, categorized into four distinct age groups. Moreover, this study indicated T. asahii as the predominant species isolated, accounting for 90.5% of infections, followed by T. mucoides (9.5%). ICU hospitalization, diabetes mellitus, taking immunosuppressive drugs, and antifungal drugs, and the use of invasive medical equipment were identified as prominent risk factors for trichosporonosis. Urinary tract infections were the most common clinical presentation, particularly among male and elderly patients. Mortality rates were high, especially among older individuals.Conclusion: This study contributes valuable epidemiological insights into trichosporonosis, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance and preventive strategies in healthcare settings. Further research is warranted to optimize treatment approaches and infection control measures, ultimately reducing the burden of Trichosporon infections on patient outcomes.Keywords: fungal infection, trichosporonosis, Trichosporon spp, Trichosporon asahii, invasive, risk factor
Crystal structure and oxidation behavior of Al-containing stainless steel coatings produced by cyromilling and spark plasma sintering
No full textThree austenitic 316LSS alloys containing 0, 2 and 6wt% Al were prepared by cryomilling and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). It was shown that aluminum influences the FCC to BCC strain induced phase transformation that occurs during milling and also the FCC recovery during heat treatment and SPS consolidation. The Al-containing SS had accelerated strain induced transformation in the early stage of milling, while the rate of transformation became similar thereafter for all systems. The degree to which the induced BCC structure reverted to FCC was found dependent upon the Al content. Complete recovery of the FCC during heat treatment was achieved between 565 to 594 °C for nSS6Al and 605 to 618 °C for nSS2Al, depending on the heating rate. However, heat treatment of nSS0Al up to 1000 °C resulted in incomplete reversion of the strain induced structure. The SPS process was found to minimally influence the FCC recovery compared to conventional powder consolidation heat treatments. The energy supplied by the SPS process was insufficient to overcome the activation energy governing the rearrangement of dislocations required to complete the FCC recovery. The modification of the composition of 316LSS combined with a grain refinement to the nanometer level was investigated to determine the potential gain in oxidation resistance on coatings produced using the SPS technique. For the base alloy, the increased number of diffusion paths present in nanostructured materials yielded a thicker oxide scale, when compared to conventional SS, and this independently on the tested oxidation temperature (500 °C, 800 °C and 1000 °C). For the nanostructured SS, the scale had an enriched Cr-content which improves the resistance to static and cyclic oxidation, and adherence to the substrate. Aluminum was also added at concentrations of 2 and 6 wt% to the base SS, which caused the scale composition to change to a continuous double layer consisting of an inner Al2O3 and an outer Cr2O3 for boTrois alliages austénitiques 316LSS contenant entre 0,2 et 6 % massique d'aluminium ont été préparé par broyage à froid et frittage à plasma d'étincelles (Spark Plasma Sintering : SPS). Il a été montré que l'aluminium influence la transformation, induite par tension, Cubique Face Centré (CFC) à Cubique Centré (CC) qui a lieu durant le broyage et aussi le rétablissement de la phase CFC durant le chauffage et la consolidation par SPS. L'alliage SS contenant de l'aluminium à une transformation induite par tension accélérée dans les premières étapes de broyage, tandis que le taux de transformation devient similaire ensuite pour tous les systèmes. Le degré auquel la structure CC retourne en CFC a été trouvé dépendant du pourcentage d'aluminium contenu. La récupération complète de la phase CFC pendant le traitement thermique a été achevé entre 565 et 594 °C pour nSS6Al et entre 605 et 618 °C pour nSS2Al, dépendamment de la vitesse de chauffage. Par contre, un traitement thermique de nSS0Al à plus de 1000 °C résulte en un retour incomplet de la structure induite par tension. Il a été montre que le procédé par SPS influence très peu la récupération de la phase CFC comparé aux traitements thermiques de consolidations de poudres conventionnels. L'énergie apporte par le procédé SPS n est pas assez importante pour dépasser l'énergie d'activation, qui gouverne le réarrangement des dislocations, requit pour la récupération de la phase CFC. Pour déterminé le gain potentiel en résistance à l'oxydation des revêtements produits par SPS, la modification de la composition de 316LSS combinée à une réduction de la taille de grain à l'échelle du nanomètre ont été étudié. Pour l'alliage de base, le nombre accru de voies de diffusion présent dans les matériaux nanostructuré produit un dépôt plus épais d'oxyde, comparé aux SS conventionnels, et ce indépendamment des températures d'oxydations testées (500 °

Get PDFDoktora Tezi"Abdulaziz ez-Zemzemî ve Dîvânı" isimli bu çalışmada Osmanlı Dönemi Arap şairlerinden
Abdulaziz ez-Zemzemî'nin (ö. 976/1568) hayatı, muhteva ve şekil yönünden Divân'ındaki şiirleri
incelenmiştir.
Çalışma giriş ve üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Giriş bölümünde şairin yetiştiği şehir olan Mekke
ve Hicaz bölgesinin XVI. yüzyıldaki sosyal, siyâsî ve kültürel durumu hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
Birinci bölümde şairin hayatı, eserleri ve edebî kişiliği ele alınmıştır. İkinci bölümde ez-Zemzemî'nin
söylediği şiirler içerik yönünden tahlil edilmiştir.
Üçüncü bölümde ise şairin şiirleri şekil ve üslup bakımından incelenmiştir. Şiirlerdeki kaside
yapısı, şairin kelime ve cümle tercihleri, anlatım teknikleri ve şiirlerde kullanılan edebi sanatlar
belirlenerek şairin şiirlerinin edebi değeri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Abdulaziz ez-Zemzemî,
medih, Peygamber methiyeleri ve ihvâniyyât vb. konularda şiir söylemiştir. Şiirlerinin çoğu dînî
temalı olmasından dolayı şair şiirlerinde ağırlıklı olarak dînî kavramları kullanmıştır. Şairin dili
sade ve akıcıdır. Kullandığı edebî sanatlar şiirine edebî zenginlik katmıştır.This study named "Abdulaziz ez-Zemzemî and his Dîvân", the life of Abdulaziz al-Zamzami (d.
976/1568), one of the Arab poets of the Ottoman Period, and his poetries in his Divan in terms of their
contentuel and formal properties.
The study consists of an introduction and three chapters. The introduction gives a general
description about the social, political and cultural situation in Mecca and the Hedjaz in the 16th
century, where al-Zamzami lived. The first chapter deals with the poet’s life, his books and his literary
identity. In the second chapter we attempt to analyze al-Zamzami’s poetry in point of contents.
In the third chapter poems of al-Zamzami are evaluated with the point of form and language.
With the headlines, like composition of qaside and sentences, vocabulary, techniques of presentations,
we tried to determine quality of his poetic. Abdulaziz al-Zamzami wrote poems on praise, in praise of
the Prophet and ikhwaneyat etc. Because many of his poems had religious theme, he generally used
religious concepts in his poems. Language of the poet is unsophisticated and fluent. His literary arts
made his poetry literarily rich
Landscapes beyond borders: ecocritical perspectives in the poetry of Muhammad Haji Salleh and Abdulaziz Al-Meqaleh
Get PDFThe depiction of landscape in both Arabic and Malaysian literature remains a potential area of scrutiny in the recent advent of ecocriticism. As a literary lens for reading literature, ecocriticism remains under-scrutinized within both Arabic and Malaysian literary contexts and texts. This article examines how the Yemeni poet Abdulaziz Al-Maqaleh and the Malaysian national poet Muhammad Haji Salleh engage with the concept of landscape as a symbolic and ecological connector that transcends national, cultural, and geographical boundaries of their countries. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to bridging the gap between Arabic and Southeast Asian ecocritical discourses, offering a comparative literary framework that enriches global ecological humanities. The central question explored is: how do Al-Maqaleh and Muhammad Haji Salleh poetically construct landscape as a transnational ecological connector in their respective cultural contexts? Methodologically, the study employs close reading and comparative literary analysis of selected poems by both poets. The findings have shown that despite these two poets’ varied natural settings, they seem to be alike in depicting the landscape and portraying how the relationship between the environment and humans is amplified. It also displays the ecological tie that binds both Yemeni and Malaysian landscapes. Such ecocritical reflections, as manifested in their poetry, propose new insights into man’s connection to land that transcend all geographical boundaries. Further, it is a step towards opening up the field of ecocriticism as an ecological pathway for linking landscapes across boundaries and fostering new readings of Yemeni and Malaysian literatur

Abdulaziz Ali A'raym 1891-1959
Get PDFFallujah is home to an outstanding number of national figures who played a glorious role in city’s social and political history. One of those characters was Abdulaziz A’raym who practiced along with his family, just from the beginning of his life, different activities including but not limited to commerce and the management of agricultural land in the rural areas of Fallujah. The family’s high standard of living, as well as their generosity, enabled them to achieve an elevated position in the Anbarian society in both Fallujah and Ramadi. Their mudheef (a tribal public reception hall) in Fallujah teemed with visitors from far and near places. This lofty reputation gave Al-Arim family at the time a chance to assume high public positions in the Iraqi nation until the overthrow of the Iraqi Hashemite Monarchy.
