Ḫarā’iṭ muntaṣaf al-layl (Mappe della mezzanotte, 2009) di ‘Alī Badr e la ridefinizione dell’immaginario geografico e culturale mediterraneo
No full textThis paper represents an early stage of a research on the literary genre of al-riḥlah, the travelogue, in the Arab literary production of the last two decades. This research is designed to fill a gap in existing studies on contemporary Arabic travelogues, since the raḥalāt written in the classical period until the nahḍah, the Arab renaissance, has been deeply analysed by scholars, who have almost neglected the travelogues created by contemporary authors.
The present paper will focus on Ḫarā’iṭ muntaṣaf al-layl (Midnight Maps), published by the Iraqi author ‘Alī Badr in 2009, and awarded in 2010 with the “Ibn Battuta Prize for Contemporary Travel Literature”. In this travelogue, ‘Alī Badr describes his journey through Tehran, Istanbul, Algiers, Athens, Cyprus, Paris, Marseille. He emphasizes the literary dimension of the journey to retrieve and renew the sense of discovery that has characterized the renowned travelogues written by Arab travellers in the XIX centur
FederAI: Federated & Trusted Data Mesh Platform
No full textAuthor: Badr Tajini
Abstract
NB: The development of the platform is still in progress.
The federated & trusted data platform named FederAI (in reference to the French verb -Fédérer- meaning to group together, assemble, unify states or entities) strictly complies with the specifications of the Data Mesh paradigm by adhering to 4 principles :
Domain-driven ownership of data,
Data as a product,
Self-serve data platform,
Federated computational governance.
The docker image at the time of its creation is encrypted and signed, which allows, firstly, maintaining a trace of who initially created the docker image, secondly, giving a legitimate appearance to the container as well as its code, and last but not least, an increased security against malware attacks.The development of the platform is still in progress
Finzione, caffé e filosofia nel romanzo Baba Sartr di ‘Ali Badr
No full textThis paper will focus on the novel Baba Sartre (Papa Sartre) published by the Iraqi author ‘Ali Badr in 2001. The novel depicts the Baghdadi society between the ’50 and the ’60 till the end of the century. The central issues of the narration are the questions of identity, knowledge and power. In this novel, a writer is in charge for writing the biography of pseudo-philosopher ‘Abd al-Rahman Shawqat. After having studies philosophy in France, Shawqat returns to Iraq and decides to launch an existentialist movement trying to imitate his hero, Jean-Paul Sartre. During the investigation to re-construct the life of “The Sartre of Baghdad” and his mysterious death, the biographer runs into a generation of intellectuals whose know-ledge of the existentialist philosophy is almost limited. They consider that the main func-tion of existentialism is to legitimize a practice of life, according to Sartre’s famous statement “ma philosophie est une philosophie de l’existence”, rather than contribute to a serious development of Arab thought. This novel contains a fierce critique of Iraqi society, and ‘Ali Badr uses satire large on a large scale to make fun of the contradictions of the cultural Arab milieu. The novel, emphasizing complicity between literature and philosophy, gives us the op-portunity to re-read the literary production of an entire generation of Arab in-tellectuals deeply influenced by French existentialism

Isoprostanes and the kidney
No full textIsoprostanes are not mere bystanders of oxidative injury, but possess potent biological activity and may thus contribute to the pathophysiology of various disorders associated with an increase in free radical formation. 15-F2t-IsoP (8-iso-prostaglandin F2α) and 15-E 2t-IsoP (8-iso-prostaglandin E2), two of the most abundant isoprostanes, are potent vasoconstrictors in various vascular beds, including the kidney. Since their discovery, numerous studies have aimed to define the receptors through which isoprostanes exert their effects. Whether the thromboxane receptor and-or other prostaglandin receptors mediate the actions of isoprostanes, or whether these compounds interact with their own unique receptors, remains to be clarified. Regardless of their exact mode of action, isoprostanes are being implicated in the pathophysiology of a variety of diseases, and their discovery might give rise to novel therapies for these diseases. Here we describe early studies that defined the vasoactive properties of isoprostanes in the kidney, and subsequent discoveries relating to their renal actions and pathophysiologic significance.ABRAMOVITZ M, 1995, ADV PROSTAG THROMB L, V23, P499; Audoly LP, 2000, CIRCULATION, V101, P2833; BADR KF, 1987, AM J PHYSIOL, V253, pF239; BADR KF, 1989, J CLIN INVEST, V83, P336, DOI 10.1172-JCI113880; Dobrian AD, 2001, HYPERTENSION, V37, P554; FAM SS, 2003, CURR MED CHEM, V10, P1241; Fukunaga M, 1997, AM J PHYSIOL-RENAL, V272, pF477; FUKUNAGA M, 1993, AM J PHYSIOL, V264, pC1619; GOPAUL NK, 1995, FEBS LETT, V368, P225, DOI 10.1016-0014-5793(95)00649-T; GRANGER JP, 2001, AM J HYPERTENS, V14, P178; Handelman GJ, 2001, KIDNEY INT, V59, P1960, DOI 10.1046-j.1523-1755.2001.0590051960.x; Hirata T, 1996, J CLIN INVEST, V97, P949, DOI 10.1172-JCI118518; Hou X, 2001, AM J PHYSIOL-REG I, V281, pR391; Hou X, 2000, STROKE, V31, P516; Huang H, 2003, AM J TRANSPLANT, V3, P1531, DOI 10.1046-j.1600-6135.2003.00264.x; Janssen LJ, 2002, J PHARMACOL EXP THER, V301, P1060, DOI 10.1124-jpet.301.3.1060; Koya D, 1997, J CLIN INVEST, V100, P115, DOI 10.1172-JCI119503; Lerman LO, 2001, HYPERTENSION, V37, P541; Lim PS, 2002, BLOOD PURIFICAT, V20, P537, DOI 10.1159-000066962; Montero A, 2000, KIDNEY INT, V58, P1963, DOI 10.1046-j.1523-1755.2000.00368.x; MORABITO E, 1995, LIFE SCI, V56, P13; MORROW JD, 1994, J BIOL CHEM, V269, P4317; MORROW JD, 1990, P NATL ACAD SCI USA, V87, P9383, DOI 10.1073-pnas.87.23.9383; MORROW JD, 1993, J LIPID MEDIATOR, V6, P417; MORROW JD, 1992, PROSTAGLANDINS, V44, P155, DOI 10.1016-0090-6980(92)90077-7; NAKAMURA T, 1995, DIABETES, V44, P895, DOI 10.2337-diabetes.44.8.895; NATARAJAN R, 1996, AM J PHYSIOL, V271, P159; Ohkubo S, 1996, PROSTAGLANDINS, V52, P403, DOI 10.1016-S0090-6980(96)00105-0; Ortiz MC, 2001, HYPERTENSION, V38, P655; PALLER MS, 1984, J CLIN INVEST, V74, P1156, DOI 10.1172-JCI111524; Parent JL, 1999, J BIOL CHEM, V274, P8941, DOI 10.1074-jbc.274.13.8941; PRATICO D, 1995, J BIOL CHEM, V270, P9800; Pratico D, 1996, J BIOL CHEM, V271, P14916; Reckelhoff JF, 2000, HYPERTENSION, V35, P476; Reckelhoff JF, 1998, AM J PHYSIOL-REG I, V274, pR767; SALAHUDEEN A, 1995, J AM SOC NEPHROL, V6, P1300; SALAHUDEEN A, 1999, KIDNEY INT, V55, P1749; Sametz W, 1999, EUR J PHARMACOL, V378, P47, DOI 10.1016-S0014-2999(99)00437-9; Schnackenberg CG, 1999, HYPERTENSION, V33, P424; Sedeek MH, 2003, HYPERTENSION, V42, P806, DOI 10.1161-01.HYP.0000084372.91932.BA; SHARMA K, 1995, DIABETES, V44, P1139, DOI 10.2337-diabetes.44.10.1139; TAKAHASHI K, 1990, J CLIN INVEST, V85, P1974, DOI 10.1172-JCI114661; TAKAHASHI K, 1992, J CLIN INVEST, V90, P136, DOI 10.1172-JCI115826; TAKAHASHI K, 1992, KIDNEY INT, V41, P1245, DOI 10.1038-ki.1992.186; Tintut Y, 2002, J BIOL CHEM, V277, P14221, DOI 10.1074-jbc.M11551200; Wagner RS, 1997, PROSTAGLANDINS, V54, P581, DOI 10.1016-S0090-6980(97)00127-5; Weber TJ, 2003, MOL PHARMACOL, V63, P1075, DOI 10.1124-mol.63.5.1075; Weber TJ, 2000, AM J PHYSIOL-RENAL, V278, pF270; YIN K, 1994, J PHARMACOL EXP THER, V270, P1192; YOSHIDA K, 1995, DIABETOLOGIA, V38, P201, DOI 10.1007-s001250050271; Yura T, 1999, KIDNEY INT, V56, P471, DOI 10.1046-j.1523-1755.1999.00596.x20171

<Articles>Islamic Charity and its Prompt Response Capability in Jordan: A Case Study in Badr, East Amman
No full textIslamic charity is widely known as an embedded system in Islam such as the institutions of Waqf and Zakāt, which are currently nationalized in most of the Islamic countries. This article focuses on a local grassroots charitable organization in the Badr area in Amman, Jordan. Jordan is one of the top host countries for Syrian refugees. The current refugee issue is obviously not new in the realm of global politics. It has been observed that throughout human history, the issue has occupied an important place in the contemporary international agenda. Jordan has been on the front line of the refugee issue, and the situation seems to be continuing. Most of the refugees get out of internationally managed refugee camps and start to reside in urban spaces. In urban spaces, international assistance and help is limited, while there are numbers of small local grassroots organizations that take important roles in building refugees’ a sustainable environment. In a close look at the capital city, Amman, this article examines how these local organizations work and what kind of features they have. The research site, the Badr area, has a vast related history with refugees from Palestine. There are five main local grassroots charitable organizations and it has the largest Zakāt committee in Jordan. This charitable work is largely recognized by the charity workers as their (Muslim’s) recommended duty in Islam and the workers expect a reward (ajru) from Allāh. Most of the organizations are engaged in food and material assistance, and at the same time guarantee housing for the needy. These local organizations flexibly respond in urban settings to the needs of refugees in protracted situations, which the author calls “prompt response capability.

Assessment of the Potential Flood Hazard of the Larbaâ Wadi, Rural Center of Sebt Boukellal, Taza, Morocco
No full textFlood risk management often requires the use of geomorphological features to identify flood zones, and the use of hydraulic models to predict inundation dynamics and related impacts on the surrounding area. In this study, we used a hydraulic river simulation model to identify potential flood-prone zones on a small scale. It concentrated on a 2.5-kilometer section of the Larbaâ Wadi, which crosses the rural center of Sebt Boukellal. For estimating the peak discharge that occurs in the return periods of 10, 20, 50, and 100 years of the drainage area, we used the Rational method. Standard tables to estimate Manning’s coefficient and direct field measurements to feed the model. Model simulation has shown stability of the steady state, which witnesses the accuracy of the estimated and measured characteristics of the river system. During the calibration phase, we compared the model outputs to the observed floods and made adjustments to align the simulation with the field observations. Indeed, the 50-year flood remarkably matched the extent of the flood that occurred on September 27, 2000. The obtained results have shown that even for a 10year return period, the overflow affects properties within the floodplain. The 100-year flood exceeded the river’s capacity, causing water to spill onto the rural center’s streets and cultivated fields. The water level reached an elevation of 552.14 meters at Sebt Boukellal’s marketplace. These results were consistent with recent floods and confirm previous observations, indicating that the model precisely predicted the river’s behavior. The findings have shown that floods spanned large regions and suggested urgent intervention to protect lives and properties
