Too many horns in the Temple of the God Hadad of Aleppo at the time of the Ebla archives!
No full textAmong the deliveries registered in the annual accounts of metals of the Ebla principal archive there are quantities of
silver and gold used for the circular decoration of the horns of bulls or oxen offered to some deities, especially to the god adad of the city of Aleppo. It was considered by some scholars that the horns had been part of the regular offerings to the god Hadad of Aleppo and served as decoration of the temple. The author proposes that the gift to the god consisted in the animals with decorated horns not in their horns. An example from the Odissey confirms this interpretation

ABSTRACT
The problem in this research is the inclusion of radicalism in the assemblies that
will indoctrinate the community. The Teluk Betung Selatan An-nur Assembly is a
non-formal religious institution that teaches Islamic teachings. To increase the
knowledge of students and the Jama'ah so as not to fall into radical
understanding, good management is needed. Moving on from these problems, the
author is interested in conducting research on the Management of Habib Umar
Bin Mudhor Al Hadad's Da'wah in Fortifying Radicalism in the An-nur Assembly
of South Betung Bay. This study aims to determine the Da'wah Management of
Habib Umar Bin Mudhor Al Hadad in fortifying the notion of Radicalism in the
An-Nur Assembly of South Betung Bay. This type of research is a field research or
field research. Data collection techniques are interview, observation, and
documentation. Sources of data used in this study are primary data and secondary
data. Data analysis used qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that
Habib Umar's Da'wah Management in fortifying Radicalism includes: Planning
(Planning), namely making programs both short-term and long-term programs,
Organizing (Organising) by doing the right division of work according to the
duties and responsibilities of each management, Actuating (Implementation) by
applying teaching methods, providing motivation and establishing good
communication with students and Controling (Supervision) by directly observing
the development of programs that have been implemented.

Knowledge Economy: Characteristics and Dimensions
No full textOver the past several decades, the theme of knowledge economy (KE) has become increasingly important, being seen as a source of economic growth and competitiveness in all economic sectors. As a consequence of this development, the author provides evidence that scholars and commentators have pleaded in favor of using modern resources which enrich knowledge-based-economies, such as investments in IT&C, high-technology industries, and highly skilled workers. These factors are perceived as fundamental factors of KE, as the present research will state. The drivers of KE are indeed technologies with the help of knowledge and the production of information, all these conditioned by dissemination. The hereby article opens with a compare and contrast analysis of the traditional economy versus the knowledge economy. Also, the article defines the KE, focusing on the debate existing on the subject of its key characteristics and components (dimensions) according to international forums, scholars, and practitioners. At the same time, the author provides information on the drivers of KE, by thoroughly reviewing the academic literature in this field. In the end of the research, the focus moves to the four pillars of KE and their means of assessment. The positive economic trends that the KE brings forth are also analyzed, as well as the core elements of KE, also known under the name of the four pillars of KE: economic and institutional development stimuli; educated and skilled workers that can facilitate the creation and dissemination of knowledge; an adequate innovation system able to embrace the globalized knowledge stock, grasp it and adjust it to particular regional/local conditions; up-to-date information infrastructure enabling communication, information delivery and handling of information and knowledge

Diagnostic values of Copeptin as a novel cardiac marker in relation to traditional markers in acute myocardial infarction
No full textAbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was the determination of the diagnostic value of Copeptin as a novel biomarker in early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.BackgroundCopeptin is a strong marker for mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is released very early during the onset of an AMI, raising the question of its potential value in the diagnosis of AMI and particularly in ruling-out AMI. Indeed, Copeptin is released much earlier than troponin making the interpretation of their complementary kinetics a useful tool to rule-out AMI. [1]MethodThis Prospective Comparative Analytical cohort study included 56 patients with Patients with acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 15 healthy controls who were admitted to the Cardiology Department, Menoufiya University from January 2014 to December 2014. All patients were subjected to full medical history taking, general examination, local cardiac examination, resting 12 leads ECG and laboratory investigations (including CK-T, cTnT and Copeptin).ResultsOur study showed non-significant differences regarding age, sex, blood pressure and hypertension between patient group and control group, but there was statistically significant difference as regards heart rate, smoking, diabetes mellitus, CK-T, (cTnT) and Copeptin.ConclusionAdding Copeptin to CK-T, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) allowed safe rule out of AMI with a negative predictive value (NPV) >99% in patients presenting with suspected acute coronary syndromes. This combination has the potentiality to rule out AMI in 58% of patients without serial blood draws
Corridor Based Horizontal Highway Alignment Optimization Using GIS and Genetic Algorithms
No full textOptimization of highway alignment is a complex nonlinear combinatorial problem. The development of an optimum highway alignment within a study area has always been the case for transportation engineers. The wide search spaces have made the evaluation of thousands of alternative
highway alignment solutions complex and expensive in terms of time and cost. Search overburdening is time consuming and may not guarantee optimum results. Thus the capability for specifying the fruitless areas may help reducing the wasted time and consequently producing better results. In this study a model for horizontal highway alignment optimization is built in two stages using GIS and GA. In the first stage, a cost model based on land use and alignment construction costs are embedded in a GIS model to narrow down the search space from the whole to a corridor. The second stage, the same GIS
cost model are embedded in a GA model to search the corridor for optimum horizontal highway alignment. The alignment configuration of these two stages modeling is based on the notion of station point approach which was previously developed by the author. It is expected that search in narrower areas result in less candidate evaluation thus reducing the processing time and better results. Thus the focus of the search will fall on the optimality of the alignment more than consuming time searching forsaken areas. The results showed that time is no more wasted searching the whole study area and a
GIS model is able to define a corridor where best solution is existed through which the GA model could
establish an optimum highway alignment solution
