Applying history in the novels of Ahmed Rafiq Awad
No full textThis study aimed to discuss how the writer Ahmad Rafiq Awad used history in the literary
novel.
The study conducted an analytical and technical study of Awad’s novels which were
relevant to history and introduced a clear perception about Awad’ sinter estin this subject
and its effect on the Palestinian culture and narrative discourse.
The study addressed the concept of the historical novel in the modern times and its
chronological development over the time. It also addressed Awad’s unique outlook of
history, the historical icons whom he used as well as the historical space in the texts of his
novels.
The technical study showed many technical aspects in the narrative elements in Awad’s
novels in a realistic and objective language.
The results showed that history and novel are dissimilar in both narrative and composition
of the text; however, they are concurrent in terms of events and characters. When Awad
searched for the causes of defeat at all levels, he wrote about near and far history in an
attempt to interpret the present by means of the past since the narrative can be viewed from
both historical and literary perspectives.
Awad used various literary narrative techniques that were based on history. In fact, his
narrative methods were subjected to the settings featured in the narrative text. Finally, the
study recommends for further pertinent studies to reveal in detail the role of Awad who is a
prominent name among the Palestinian writers, and also show the aesthetic secrets in his
linguistic style and the dominance of the past on the present
An interpretive inquiry into accounting practices in public universities in Sudan
No full textThis research uses an inductive theoretical development process based upon the 'paradigm model' developed by Strauss and Corbin (1990). Accounting practice, in both organisations, has been observed as a routine process with a limited function in managerial decision making. The grounded theory shows the change in perceptions of organisational members towards their organisational reality, with particular respect to accounting, as the central phenomenon. In Khartoum University, this represented a change in perceptions from a planning system to a poverty/crisis management system. On the other hand, the focal concept found in Sudan University of Science and Technology personifies a change in perceptions from a poverty/crisis management system to a decentralised budget planning system.The conditioning context that influences the central phenomenon relates to three aspects, namely the higher education revolution ( which involved changes in the broader culture and the broader power structure of higher education), the financial crisis and the organisational response. Three interactional strategies, namely changes in accounting practices, changes in the organisational culture and change in the organisational power structure are representative of the major processes involved in managing and responding to the central phenomenon. The outcome of these interactional strategies is represented by a change in organisational processes/activities. Furthermore, the findings of this study lend further support to existing arguments that accounting is both a reflective and a constitutive practice. In addition, this field study represents an extension to previous studies which have explicated a mode of theorising linkages between accounting and culture. This study also offers an extended explanation of the role of accounting in a crisis situation through the use of a more empirically grounded approach.</p

Voltage Stability Assessment of Dubai Power Grid Using a Detailed Load Model
No full textA Master of Science thesis in Electrical Engineering by Salha Ali Al Disi entitled, "Voltage Stability Assessment of Dubai Power Grid Using a Detailed Load Model," submitted in June 2013. Thesis advisor is Dr. Ahmed Osman and Co-advisor is Dr. Awad Ibrahim Al-Baraasi. Available are both soft and hard copies of the thesis.Voltage stability problem has become one of the major concerns for power utilities in recent years. This is due to the exponentially growing demands and the associated stress on the power transmission resources. Moreover, voltage instability has been responsible for severe network collapses world-wide and subsequently, the possible threat of voltage instability is becoming more pronounced in power utilities. Dubai Power Grid is undergoing similar circumstances. The increased stress on the power resources in addition to the high proportion of motor driven loads, embedded in Air Conditioning (AC) appliances, have raised the necessity to assess the voltage stability of Dubai Power Grid. During large system disturbances, the transmission system voltage can fall below a critical threshold, resulting in induction motors stalling or tripping depending on several factors such as motor type, size and control. The severity increases during peak load conditions, when the system load is dominated by AC appliances. Recently, Dubai Power Grid had experienced several system disturbances that were accompanied by small/large voltage variations. These variations were followed by inadvertent disconnection of load. The existing Dubai Power Grid load model is not capable of reflecting the actual system behavior following the experienced disturbances. Having an accurate load model capable of capturing load behavior during system disturbances is crucial in voltage stability assessment. This thesis presents a detailed load model for Dubai Power Grid and validates it against recorded disturbances. The updated load model will be used to assess voltage stability margin against the increasing use of power transmission resources, growing demand and associated stress on available and planned active and reactive power resources.College of EngineeringDepartment of Electrical EngineeringMaster of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE
Improving the measurement of butyltin compounds in environmental samples
No full textTributyltin compounds (TBT) are highly toxic pollutants, mainly introduced to the environment as a marine antifouling agent. The main aim of this work was to evaluate the present methods for the measurement of TBT and its breakdown products dibutyltin and monobutyltin in environmental sediments and waters and to improve upon their measurement. For the analysis of sediments, a triple hexane/acetic acid extraction was employed of tropolone complexes of the organotin compounds. Grignard reagent derivatization and measurements by gas chromatography with pulsed flame photometric detection were then employed. The TBT detection limit of 5 ?g Sn/ kg in sediment was below the UK environmental quality target (EQS) value for TBT in sediment (1-2 mg Sn/kg). A pilot investigation was carried out on a small dockyard in Southampton to evaluate if the total amount of tin could be used to predict the presence of TBT. Due to different sources of tin contamination in the studied area no clear overall correlation of TBT with total tin was found. As part of the investigation into the determination of butyltin in sediment, the extraction of TBT from paint particles deposited in sediment during boat refurbishment and the removal of sulphur interferences were investigated. For the extraction of TBT in paint, a pre-treatment procedure was developed based on pre-treatment with dichloromethane (DCM). This treatment improved the extraction of TBT from the paint, but TBT losses can occur during DCM removal by evaporation. Sulphur interferences were successfully removed from the sediment extract by improving the clean-up procedure. This procedure was based on treatment of the hexane extract with activated copper and then passing the hexane extract through a C18 solid phase extraction column. For the determination of butyltins in water a doubly functionalized mesoporous silica was synthesized and used to extract butyltin compounds from water based on a solid phase dispersion technique. Butyltin chlorides were collected from the water on the surface of the HOC18-nanoscavenger, hexylated using a Grignard reagent and quantified by GC-PFPD. Another approach was based on ethylation of tributylin chloride using NaEt4B followed by extraction of the ethylated species on the HOC18-nanoscavenger. TBT detection limits of 1.5 and 3 ng Sn/ L were achieved using the Grignard and NaEt4B approaches respectively and were regarded satisfactory, as they were below or near to the UK EQS for water ( 2 ng/ L). The Grignard approach was more efficient than the NaEt4B approach, but the latter was more precis
Childhood behaviour problems in urban Sudan
No full textExploring the role of culture in human development and psychopathy, the present thesis examined the relationship between Sudanese children's behaviour problems and their socio-cultural context. This involved two stages. First, a qualitative investigation into the Sudanese adult's views of normal and abnormal child development was undertaken. There was unanimity that religious and cultural beliefs mediate concepts of normal and abnormal development and intercede patterns of child-care. In the second stage a larger quantitative study was conducted with the aim of developing an instrument that would provide a valid and reliable measure to identify the children's behaviour deviance in the Sudanese context.Sudanese parents and teachers completed behaviour rating scales on a stratified sample of 300 children. These instruments were based on Conners' original questionnaires and were adopted to include items thought to be relevant to Sudanese culture. Following item analysis and exclusion, the reliability, factor structure and internal consistency of a 34 item teacher questionnaire and a 64 item parent questionnaire were explored.Both instruments produced an intuitively appealing and reliable factor structure. As far as linguistic and conceptual equivalence with previous studies in different cultures was concerned it appeared that the Sudanese teachers' views of problems mirrored their western counterparts more closely than did the parents. As with studies in other countries teachers ratings produced a clear distinction between externalising and internalising problems and within these bands, a distinction between hyperactivity and conduct problems and between anxiety and sadness/depression. However, the structure of parent's ratings did not produce such clear cut distinctions. For instance, there were no clear conduct problem or hyperactivity factors. In line with an ecological approach this thesis also examined the structural socio-demographic aspects and their effect on family structure, parenting, and patterns of child behaviour problems.</p

The application of the Conners' Rating Scales to a Sudanese sample: an analysis of parents' and teachers' ratings of childhood behaviour problems
No full textThe aim of the current study was to assess the equivalence of Sudanese and North American versions of the Conners' Rating Scales. The reliability, internal consistency, factor score intercorrelation, levels of sex differences and prevalence of symptoms found with Sudanese Arabic adaptations of the parent and teacher scales were compared with previously reported data from North American studies. The scales were translated into Sudanese Arabic, backtranslated and piloted among teachers and parents. These scales were administered to parents and teachers from a stratified normative sample of 300 families with children between 6 and 10 years of age. Both versions of the questionnaire displayed high levels of reliability and satisfactory internal consistency. The associations of ratings by Sudanese adults differed from those typically seen in North American samples in a number of ways. There was little evidence of the existence of broadband distinctions between internalizing and externalizing problems, practically no sex differences, only nonspecific associations between parent and teacher ratings and, most strikingly, very low levels of behaviour problems reported. The results provide evidence of the potential utility of the Sudanese versions of the Conners' Rating Scales while raising important questions about cultural differences in the structure and associations of behaviour problems and the appropriateness of applying North American norms to other cultural groups. Future research should look to supplement studies using adaptations of scales developed in Western settings with more open-ended questions about problems of specific significance to Sudanese parents
