Louis 'Awad poète
No full textPrésentationEcrit entre 1937 et 1940, Plutoland, dont le poème qui suit est extrait, fut publié au Caire en 1947. L'empreinte de T. S. Eliot, que Louis 'Awad déclarait idolâtrer, y est sensible. Dans sa préface, « Brisez les colonnes de la poésie », non seulement Louis 'Awad invitait à un renouvellement des thèmes et appelait à recourir au dialecte égyptien « soutenu », jugé par lui plus expressif que la langue classique, mais, en s'appuyant sur sa profonde connaissance de la poétique arabe e..

Asal-Usul Bangsa Arab: Studi Kritis atas Pemikiran Louis Awad
No full textThis purpose of this article is to describe the Arabian History, the origin and critics
on the deviation to the history done by Louis Awad to the Arab society. In the history,
the arabian was related to the Semitic sociaty who descent from Sam bin Nuh. The
data of this tudy is based on a library research with Muqoddimah Fi Fiqh al-Lughoh
al-Arobiyah by Dr. Louis Awad as the main source. In his book, Dr. Louis Awad
explains a contradictive explaination from the historical facts, he even avoid the facts.
He assumes that Arabian is not related to the Semitic nation, but come from the Indo-
Europian race. Further he said the origin of Semiyah is the Indo-Europian race. It is
certainly a form of fraud, which aims to obscure the history, to demean the position of
the Arabian, which is the ultimate objective, is to put the Arabic, the Qur'an in a low
position

The role of natural killer cells in non-small cell lung cancer
No full textBackground and Aims: Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells with the ability to kill tumour cells upon first encounter with them. Accumulating evidence suggests that NK cells may play an important role in anti-tumour immunity and the prevention of metastasis. Recent findings have revealed that there are several distinct populations of NK cells with diverse characteristics within peripheral tissues. Despite this however, knowledge of the functional status of NK cells in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still lacking. The work in this thesis aimed to broadly understand the behaviour and functions of NK cells that infiltrate NSCLC tumours and whether they differ from the cells found in blood or that infiltrate lung. Here, we performed bulk and single cell transcriptomic analysis of NK cells isolated from NSCLC tumours and adjacent unaffected lung tissue from patients with treatment naïve lung cancer. To further understand the role of tumour-infiltrating NK cells in the context of the tumour microenvironment, more specifically, how their functions might differ in tumour microenvironments that are either rich or poor in terms of CD8+ T cell density we preselected tumour samples according to CD8+ T cell expression. By selecting our samples in this way, we were able to indirectly correlate the presence of tumour-infiltrating NK cell subpopulations with improved outcomes. Results: Tumour infiltrating NK cells comprised a significantly smaller fraction of the total lymphocyte population in NSCLC compared to adjacent lung and peripheral blood (5% versus 19% and 15% respectively). Both CD56+CD16+ and CD56+CD16neg populations were identified in NSCLC at both the protein and bulk transcriptional level. Single cell RNA-seq analysis of NK cells isolated from NSCLC tumour and lung tissue identified major differences in the transcriptional programs of tumour-infiltrating NK cells. We identified 7 clusters of tumour-infiltrating NK cells with distinct gene expression programs indicative of functional specialisation, particularly in tumours with high CD8+ T cell density (TILHigh). CD16+ NK cells present in TILHigh tumours were enriched for transcripts linked to cytotoxicity, pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhanced effector function suggesting a role for direct tumour cell killing. The CD16neg NK cells however, comprised several specialist subpopulations of tumour infiltrating NK cells including a unique tissue resident population (trNK) with ‘memory-like’ features. We also identified an ILC3-like subset with transcriptional features linked to activation, immune cell recruitment and lymphoid tissue inducing properties. Conclusion: The data presented for the work of this thesis has identified unique subpopulations of NK cells that are potentially acting synergistically with ILC3 cells and CD8+ T cells to not only directly kill tumour cells but also serving to co-ordinate and initiate the adaptive immune responses to cancer in TILHigh tumours. We have identified an as yet unexplored and distinct trNK cell population with ‘memory-like’ features in NSCLC tumour. Their presence in TILHigh tumours suggests that they are co-operating with CD8+ T cells to mediate the robust anti-tumour responses seen in these patients

Discussion of "state of Practice of Building Information Modeling in the Electrical Construction Industry" by Awad S. Hanna, Michael Yeutter, and Diane G. Aoun
No full textAwad S. Hanna, Michael Yeutter, and Diane G. Aoun discuss state of practice of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the electrical construction industry. The discussers not only complement their scholarly works, but also provide a needed contextual backdrop that will enable an ameliorated understanding of electrical systems in the construction industry. They note that the authors' study did not present an operational definition of BIM, and this renders their results as superficial and lacking context. It also means that the work eschews providing directions for future research in this fertile area
Caracterização física e físico-química de mandacaru em dois estádios de maturação.
No full textO mandacaruzeiro (Cereus jamacaru P.) é uma cactácea nativa da Caatinga, encontrada em solos pedregosos e, juntamente com outras espécies, forma a paisagem típica da região semiárida 11 (SILVA, 2009). Planta com porte de 3 a 7 m, caule com presença de espinhos e grande quantidade de reserva de água (BRAGA, 1960; ARAÚJO, 2004), bastante utilizada na alimentação animal, os frutos são apreciados para consumo na forma de fruta fresca pelo agradável sabor, para fins ornamentais (BARBOSA, 1998), além da fabricação de doces e geléias (AWAD, 1993; SILVA, 2009). Esta cactácea possui flores brancas, frutos grandes e avermelhados e polpa branca provida de sementes insípidas (GOMES, 1973), com produção concentrada nos meses de fevereiro a setembro (AWAD, 1993; SILVA, 2009). A massa dos frutos, segundo Oliveira et al. (1992), apresenta média de 241,56g, diâmetros longitudinal e transversal de 124,5mm e 68 mm, respectivamente. O formato médio do fruto de 1,83mm, massa média da casca de 137,51 g e rendimento de polpa de 58,60%. De acordo com Fortaleza et al. (2005), quando a relação de diâmetros dos frutos são próximos do valor 1, o formato é arredondado, enquanto, valores 23 superiores a 1 são oblongos ou ovalados. Os teores de sólidos solúveis da polpa, segundo Almeida et al. (2009), apresenta média de 10,50 oBrix, acidez titulável de 0,26% de ácido cítrico e o pH 4,38. Apesar do potencial desta frutífera nativa, poucos são os estudos de qualidade dos frutos, principalmente para o mercado de fruta fresca em diferentes estádios de maturação. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar as características físicas e físico-químicas de mandacaru em dois estádios de maturação
