    Female genital tract tumors are common and cause significant cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. The &nbsp;prevalence of neoplasms according to their anatomical location depends on various cancer-associated predisposing factors. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of female reproductive system tumors among eastern Libyan females according to anatomical site and patient age. Gynecological specimens received in the pathology department of Al-Bayda Medical Center (AMC)-Libya, were studied, and the prevalence rate for each type of tumor was compared to regional and worldwide data.&nbsp; Retrospective hospital-based research to analyze data of 936 gynecological specimens diagnosed over six years (January 2014-January 2020) at the Department of Pathology, Libya. A total of 936 gynecological specimens were reviewed corresponding to patients between 15 to 70 years of age. The majority of cases (293 cases; 45.9%) were endometrial tumors, leiomyomas (190 cases; 26.9%), ovarian tumors (214 cases; 33.4%) and gestational trophoblastic diseases (21 cases; 3.2%). &nbsp; The least common tumors were uterine cervical tumors (15 cases; 2.1%). Benign tumors were most frequent in the second and fourth decades of life, while malignant neoplasms were most frequent from the fifth to eighth decades of life. Among eastern Libyan females from Al-Bayda region, the gynecological tumors with the highest incidence rate were endometrial tumors, followed by ovarian serous cystadenomas, then leiomyomas, gestational trophoblastic diseases and lastly uterine cervical tumor

    Search for excited electrons and muons in √s=8 TeV proton–proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

    No full text
    The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is used to search for excited electrons and excited muons in the channel pp → ℓℓ* → ℓℓγ, assuming that excited leptons are produced via contact interactions. The analysis is based on 13 fb[superscript −1] of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. No evidence for excited leptons is found, and a limit is set at the 95% credibility level on the cross section times branching ratio as a function of the excited-lepton mass m[subscript ℓ*]. For m[subscript ℓ*] ≥ 0.8 TeV, the respective upper limits on σB(ℓ* → ℓγ) are 0.75 and 0.90 fb for the e* and μ* searches. Limits on σB are converted into lower bounds on the compositeness scale Λ. In the special case where Λ = m[subscript ℓ*], excited-electron and excited-muon masses below 2.2 TeV are excluded.United States.

    The principal aim of this thesis is to assess the performance of Imam Salim b.Rashid and the Imamate revival in Oman during the second decade of the 20th century. It presents biographical information about Imam Salim, with special reference to the military and political policies by which he established and consolided his Imamate in the Interior Province, and his relations with the Sultan and the latter's British supporters. An attempt is also made to explore the relationship between the Imam and the Omani tribes and to evaluate his administrative success. This thesis comprises eight chapters, and the introduction and conclusion. The introduction reviews the relevant literature on the topic. The first chapter describes the geographical setting and provides a historical background, relating to three principal matters: the rise of the Iba<;liyyah and the development of the Imamate in Oman; the events in Oman after Sd. Sa'id's death up to 1913; and the effects of the First World War. The second chapter seeks to give an account of the career of Imam Salim's life and the Imamate revival. The third chapter discusses the manner in which the Imam was elected, private and public allegiance (bay'ah) and the Imam's aims and policy programme. Chapter Four deals with the Imam's military operations and the spread of his authority over Oman. Chapter Five examines the attempts at negotiation between the Imam and the Sultan, and the role of the British Government and the local figures in this regard. Chapter Six is devoted to a discussion of the role of the tribes in support of Imam Salim, and the extent of the Imam's influence over these tribes. Chapter Seven assesses the Imam's administrative machinery, including the political system, the bureaucracy, education policy, and financial apparatus. Chapter Eight examines the causes behind the assassination of Imam Salim and the signing of the Treaty of al-Sib. In the conclusion, we present the findings of the research as they have emerged from the assessment of the course of events in Oman. We have said that the Omanis succeeded in reviving the Imamate and elected Imam Salim al-KharU~i who devoted his efforts to establish the foundations of the state, and peace prevailed in the country after the treaty of al-Sib in 1920

    Certain compositions of abstract polynomials and their pseudo-derivatives

    AbstractThe present study is motivated by some results due to N. Zaheer and M. Alam (Zeros of polar-composite polynomials in algebraically closed fields, Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 40 (1980), 527–552) and to a classical result of M. Marden (Geometry of polynomials, in “Math. Surveys,” Vol. 3, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 1966). In fact, we determine the location of null-sets of certain compositions of abstract polynomials and their pseudo-derivatives in vector spaces. Our main theorem generalizes simultaneously the corresponding results of Zaheer and Alam and of Marden, and furnishes several new interesting special cases, some being supported by the nice geometry of the complex plane

    A Semiotic Analysis of Novel Faces in Hot Water by Abdallah Tayeh

    No full text
    The aim of this study is to investigate the semiotics of the cover, title, characters and the settings of Faces in Hot Water (1996) by the Palestinian writer Abdallah Tayeh. The study shows how important is semiotics in aesthetically and cognitively shaping the novel. The study adopts a qualitative research method by applying semiotic analysis to create a new understanding of the literary text and its interpretations. Built on semiotic analysis, the writer embodies the prevailing norms, traditions and culture of the Palestinian society. The writer also reveals semantic signs that are not visible. He in fact captured the implied meaning behind the semiotic text. The research shows that Tayeh uses many semiotic signs to refer to the various concepts of issues related to the Palestinian culture, society and beliefs

    AbstractLet (Ω, A, μ) be a probability space and let B be a subsigma algebra of A. Let A= L∞Ω, A, μ , let A= L∞Ω, B, μ, and let f ϵ A. It is shown that best L∞-approximations of f by elements of B comprise an interval in B; that is, there exists f,fϵB such that a function g ϵ B is a best L∞-approximation to f if and only if f⩽ g ⩽ f a.e. on Ω. The difference, f − f, of f and f is completely characterized in terms of special sets that have been developed in [2]. Then it is established that the best best L∞-approximation, fB,∞, to f by elements of B is the average of f and f, where the function fB,∞ is defined by fB,∞(ω) limp → ∞fB,P(ξ) and fB,P denotes the best Lp-approximation to f elements of Lp(Ω, B, μ)

    Aswaq al-Aswaq min masari' al-ussaq, Ibrahim al biqa'- I (m.885/1480) : critical edition and commentary

    No full text
    L'amour, le ʿišq «amour-passion» et les histoires d'amants que le sort épargne ou sur lesquels il s'acharne, sont des thèmes qui ont touché et touchent toujours toutes les sociétés, et semblent traverser les siècles sans vieillir. Certaines légendes ont été rapportées oralement, peut-être même chantées au début, puis grâce à l'écriture et à la réécriture, nous pouvons les lire aujourd'hui. Mais on a tendance à privilégier certaines anecdotes, certains poètes des premiers siècles de l'Islam. Les auteurs des siècles plus tardifs ne semblent pas avoir été assez étudiés du moins pour ce thème de l'amour. C'est le cas de notre auteur : Ibrāhīm b.ʿUmar al-Biqāʿī (m.885/1480), dont l'œuvre est impressionnante, plus de quatre vingt dix titres. Il est surtout connu pour ses productions concernant l'exégèse et le hadith. Son côté littéraire demeure inconnu ou presque.Notre recherche porte sur l'édition critique et le commentaire d'un de ses manuscrits intitulé : Aswāq al-Ašwāq min Maṣāriʿ al-ʿUššāq, titre que nous traduisons par : «Des Marchés des Désirs et des Trépas des Amants», œuvre souvent citée par les chercheurs qui s'intéressent à ce thème, mais jamais éditée.Love-passion and lovers stories, which the fate spares or whom it persecutes, are themes which touched all the societies, and seem to cross the centuries without aging. Certain legends were orally reported, may be even sung at the begenning, then thanks to the writing and the rewriting, we can read them today.But we tend to favor certain anecdotes, certain poets or authors of the first ones centuries of the Islam.The authors of the later centuries do not seem to have been studied enough at least for this theme of love.It is the case of our author Ibrāhīm al-Biqāʿī ( d.885 H/ 1440 J-C) whom the work is impressive, more than ninety titles. He is especially known for its productions concerning the exegesis and the hadith. His literary side remains unknown or almost.Our research concerns the critical edition and the comment of one of its manuscripts title : Aswāq al-Ašwāq min Maṣāriʿ al-ʿUššāq, which I translate : «Markets of the desires and the demise of the lovers»
