The traumatic experience and sexual violence in Halima Bashir’s tears of the desert
No full textEl objetivo principal de este trabajo se centra en el análisis de la experiencia traumática de la escritora sudanesa Halima Bashir en su obra autobiográfica Las lágrimas del desierto. A la hora de analizar la obra hemos tenido en cuenta los postulados del trauma para entender la función de la memoria como herramienta a partir de la cual la memoria individual de Halima se convierte en memoria colectiva para los sudaneses oprimidos en Darfur. La obra de Halima, aunque se centra en la experiencia de violación de un individuo, implica un mensaje político y un testimonio histórico de las atrocidades en Darfur.This paper applies trauma theory to Tears of the Desert, an autobiography written by the Sudanese author Halima Bashir. It examines the traumatic experience of the protagonist Halima Bashir who has been raped during Darfur conflict. In applying the aforementioned theory, this paper shows how the traumatic memory of Halima stands as a collective memory for the oppressed Sudanese in Darfur. Halima’s work, although focusing on the rape experience of an individual, implies a political message that many Sudanese were subjected to physical and psychological traumas as they were bearing witness to the conflict in Darfur

No full textAbstract
Abstract
__________________________________________________________________________________
Introduction:
Healthcare facilities often face overcrowding and extended waiting times in emergency rooms (ERs). This
leads to higher patient morbidity and mortality rates and reduces patient satisfaction. Managing patient flow
between the ER and the Outpatient Department (OPD) at Ibrahim Bin Hamad Obaidullah Hospital (IBHOH)
is crucial to addressing these issues. The study analyzes the relationship between ER visits and OPD
workflow from January to June 2024. Seasonal fluctuations, infectious disease outbreaks, and delays in OPD
appointments are also considered.
Aim:
This study explores the connection between ER visits, OPD referrals, and OPD patient volumes at IBHOH
over the first half of 2024. The goal is to find trends and correlations and to understand how these factors
affect hospital operations. Understanding these trends is crucial for efficiently allocating resources,
improving patient flow, and enhancing the quality of care at the hospital.
Methodology:
The study retrospectively reviews hospital records from January to June 2024. Data is segmented by month
and validated against multiple sources to ensure accuracy. The study used SPSS and Python to perform
statistical analysis. The trends and correlations are visualized through graphs and charts. To ensure patient
confidentiality, the study will adhere to ethical guidelines using aggregated data without personal identifiers.
Conclusion:
The study reveals a strong link between ER visits, OPD referrals, and OPD patient volume, suggesting
strategic improvements that can manage ER congestion and improve patient care and flow. To maintain
high-quality patient care and boost operational efficiency, standardizing referral protocols, adjusting staffing
based on real-time data, and implementing continuous monitoring systems are recommended
