No full textThesis. M.A. American University of Beirut. Department of English, 2014. T:6069Advisor : Dr. Amy Zenger, Associate Professor, English ; Members of Committee : Dr. David Wrisley, Associate Professor, English ; Dr. Syrine Hout, Professor, English.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 83-87)This thesis examines the works of three postmodern authors: Selected Writings by Mai Ghoussoub’s, Beirut I Love You by Zena El Khalil and Vinexvrouwen (The Suburban Wives) by Naima El Bezaz. Through closely reading and analyzing their texts I show that narration is a tool with which they attempt to transcend their identities and ground themselves. I explore how writing created a Third Space symbolizing a home to all three writers, a space where diversity is appreciated and becomes the norm. The first chapter defines and explores the different definitions of the terms, displacement, belonging, negotiation and Third Space. The second chapter discusses the displacement of Mai Ghoussoub, Zena El Khalil and Naima El Bezaz and the different causes of displacement. The third chapter elaborates on the negotiation and belonging of the three authors. This chapter examines the different negotiation styles of each author and their attempts at belonging. The fourth chapter looks at the Third Space created by Mai Ghoussoub, Zena El Khalil and Naima El Bezaz through writing. This chapter discusses the need for narrative in creating an identity and home. I will attempt to show that the Third Space, instead of being a contested space, can be a source of stability and self expression. The fifth chapter concludes the thesis and finds that Mai Ghoussoub, Zena El Khalil and Naima El Bezaz created an additional space, a Third Space, through writing in which they are not touched by offensive behavior. They anchor themselves in a virtual Third Space and find a home within their texts

Ключевые слова: летопись, текст, стиль, тюркизмы, османская проза.The article is devoted to one of stylistical peculiarities of an 18 c. Ottoman chronicle “History of
Naima”. This Ottoman prose work for a long time has been the subject of special interest for literary critics,
historians and linguists due to its stylistic features. The comparison of the chronicle frequency lexical parameters
with other Ottoman prose texts by corpus approach demonstrated that it had been created according to the
canons of Ottoman Prose Literature and rules of its language norm. Yet at the same time, «History of Naima»
differs from other texts in some obscure, inexpressive form, which let the annalist work stay quite famous in
Ottoman Literature for two centuries and not be forgotten as was the chronicle “Seyahatname” of the famous
traveler Evliya Chelebi. Verbs and masdars of Turkic origin prevail in Naima’s History in comparison with other
Ottoman Prose. Meanwhile this prevailing is not so noticeable as to claim that the author radically opposed
literary canons. More frequent using of Turkic words in the chronicle can be explained by author's attempts to
influence the recipient of the text with the aim to convince him of some political ideas.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Vaccination Coverage across Thirteen States: A County-Level Analysis
No full textM.S.Despite significant strides in vaccine development and dissemination during the COVID-19 pandemic, limited and patchy vaccine uptake highlights a critical public health challenge for future pandemics. However, the inadequacy of detailed data has hampered our ability to understand the ethnic and racial disparities in COVID-19 vaccinations Previous research has primarily focused on national or state-level disparities, highlighting the need for county-level analyses. This study aims to bridge this gap by analyzing disparities at the county level, providing a more accurate assessment of COVID-19 vaccination inequities. Specifically, we investigate the geographic distribution of COVID-19 vaccination disparities for Black and Hispanic populations, whether there are disparities between urban and rural counties, and whether significant differences exist in racial/ethnic disparity in vaccination rates when analyzed at the county level compared to state and national rates. Data was collected from 13 state health departments between June 22, 2021, and July 22, 2021, and included COVID vaccination counts disaggregated by county and race/ethnicity group. The findings reveal significant spatial heterogeneity in both Black and Hispanic vaccination disparity. Urban areas exhibited higher levels of Black disparity. Rural areas exhibited higher levels of Hispanic disparity. It was also determined that state-level analyses significantly obscure true disparities, highlighting the importance of county-level data. The findings from this study underscore the importance of targeted interventions tailored to specific geographic contexts and emphasize the imperative forpolicymakers and public health officials to prioritize the collection and utilization of granular county-level data to effectively address racial and ethnic disparities in vaccination efforts, thereby fostering more equitable health outcomes for all communities

No full textИз России в Мекку: хаджж как опыт социокультурного пограничья
No full textThe author discusses the special meaning and significance of Hajj in Islam: a journey to the holy city helped every Muslim to understand himself a member of a single Ummah. But the realities of the pilgrimage could make an obstacle in achieving of that goal. The article describes main routes of Hajj, which were used by the Russian Muslims; difficulties that pilgrims faced to on their way to Mecca. The author concludes: an ideal unity of all Muslims was troubled and challenged by everyday and technical difficulties on the way, an idealistic conception of the hajj contrasted to the realities of travel. As a result of the experience of hajj, Russian Muslims felt themselves as aliens at the sacred center of Islam.Автор рассказывает об особом смысле и значении хаджжа в исламе: путешествие в священный город помогало каждому мусульманину осознать себя членом единой уммы. Но реалии паломничества могли стать помехой в достижении этой цели. В статье даётся характеристика основных маршрутов хаджжа, которыми пользовались российские мусульмане; описываются трудности, с которыми паломники сталкивались на пути в Мекку. Автор делает следующий вывод: постулируемое единство всех мусульман разбивалось о бытовые и технические трудности в пути; представление о хаджже расходилось с реалиями путешествия. В результате в опыте хаджжа у российских мусульман появляется новая тема, в контексте которой паломники осознавали пространство Мекки ̶ центра ислама ̶ как чужое.
Адыгея: Процессы реисламизации и вызовы исламского радикализма (1990-е - 2015 г.)
No full textThe article analyzes the transformation of Islamic community of the Adygheya Republic during 1990-2015, new tendencies and actors. The author reveals new trends in the 2010s updated by the dynamics of the political background of Adygheya. The main focus is the factors constraining Muslims from radicalism in the 1990s – 2010s, as well as factors that may contribute to the spread of radical version of Islam today. According to the author, the factors of radicalization of Muslims in the Adygheya can be divided into two groups – federal and regional. The first concerns the many unresolved methodological issues relating to “New Muslims”. As practice shows, the state unequivocal support of the “traditional Muslim clergy” contributes to the isolation of Salafis, limits the possibilities of intraconfessional dialogue. The facts of destruction of mosques, injunction religious books, extra-judicial persecution of Muslims and ban on headscarves (hijabs) in schools in the other regions of the Russian Federation forms the protest discourse. At the regional level a crisis of ethnic ideology Adyghe Khabze, economical crisis and broken social lifts contribute to the radicalization of Muslims. Islamic radicals are very active and professional in social networks, they create the groups whose target audience is youth. The activities of the radical “Internet imams”, electronic “religious authorities” are typical for Adygheya and for the whole North Caucasus outside the native region. Their influence, agitation and propaganda are destructive and will have a negative impact in the future. A new trend is the departure of the Adyghe Muslims in ISIL (about 21 people from the beginning of 2015)
