The Arab education system in Israel together with the ethics and legal regulations are found to indicate reports of maltreated and sexually abused children. The problem of viewed in this paper is connected with the reporting of children who had experienced maltreatment and sexual abuse. The article aspires to present the work and dilemmas of art therapists using arts therapy when working within educational and therapeutic frameworks in Israeli Arab society. Today, the field of arts therapy in the Arab society is in its initial stages in contrast to the seniority this field has gained in the Jewish society and more traditional therapies such as psychology and psychotherapy. In the Arab society, mental therapy is uncommon. The field of therapy as a whole is undeveloped and conducted secretly largely due to shame, stigma and prejudices associating mental therapy with mental illnesses or disorders (Masarwa & Bruno, 2018). Until recently, arts therapy has not been practiced at all in Israeli in the Arab society. In comparison to psychological treatment, arts therapy carries an extra value because of its non-verbal work methodology, and enables can the client to make projection and reduction of social and personal objections in face of the therapeutic process. In recent years, implementation of this field of knowledge has gained momentum in therapeutic frameworks in general and at schools in particular, slowly becoming an integral part of the education system. However, this field is still in its early stages and it is oriented towards special education students and those with special needs (Nachum, 2007; Moriah, 2000).Amani Mussa, “Between a child who wants to tell and an adult who does not want to hear”.

METODOLOGI PENULISAN SYEKH ‘ABD AL-HAY AL-LAKNAWI DALAM KITAB ZAFAR AL-AMANI
No full textThroughout the history of the tradition of Islamic studies, there have been various works of ‘ulum al-hadith that have been produced by hadith scholars. These works differ in their writing methodology from one work to another. To understand the differences, a study of each work and the background of the author is very necessary to be conducted to reveal and explain it. Thus, this study aims to introduce one of the figures in the discipline of ‘ulum al-hadith named Sheikh ‘Abd al-Hay al-Laknawi (d. 1304H) with a focus on one of his monumental works, namely Zafar al-Amani fi Sharh Mukhtasar al-Jurjani. This qualitative study uses content analysis methods to identify and comprehensively describe the methodology of al-Laknawi's writing in the work. From the results of the study it can be concluded that the methodology of writing al-Laknawi is seen as quite systematic and loaded with scientific discussions on issues that are quite complex in the science of hadith such as the issue of hadith hasan, the problem of doing good deeds with weak hadith, the issue of hadith mursal, issues munkar hadith and so on, along with his interpretation of the various views of the scholars presented. According to the research, this book of Zafar al-Amani is quite worthy to be placed in line with the great works of the discipline of ‘ulum al-hadith which should be studied and used as a reference by scholars and students.

The use of art therapy in the Arab sector education system in Israel in therapeutic work with children experiencing violence: the perspective of art therapists
No full textWydział Studiów EdukacyjnychNiniejsze badanie dotyczyło sposobu w jaki arteterapeuci postrzegają swoją pracę w szkołach specjalnych w arabskim sektorze edukacji w Izraelu z dziećmi, które doświadczyły przemocy. Badania prowadzono w paradygmacie jakościowym przy użyciu zbiorowego studium przypadku. Metodą zbierania danych był pogłębiony częściowo ustrukturyzowany wywiad. W celu dokonania analizy dane zostały poddane transkrypcji, kodowaniu i kategoryzacji. Badanie obejmowało piętnaście pogłębionych wywiadów przeprowadzonych z arabskimi arteterapeutami. Główny wniosek tego badania podkreśla znaczną rozbieżność pomiędzy akceptacją przemocy wobec dzieci w arabskich systemach edukacji a rolą zawodową arteterapeutów, szczególnie w odniesieniu do obowiązkowego zgłaszania przemocy wobec dzieci. W związku z tym sformułowano dwie ważne implikacje. Po pierwsze, istnieje potrzeba specjalistycznych programów szkoleniowych dla arabskich arteterapeutów, aby pomóc wypełnić lukę kulturową w metodach terapeutycznych i ułatwić skuteczne przekazywanie informacji o terapii artystycznej pracownikom szkół i szerszej społeczności. Po drugie, uzyskane wnioski podkreślają znaczenie dyskusji na temat ustawodawstwa mającego na celu alternatywne podejścia do obowiązkowego zgłaszania, takie jak utworzenie społeczności szkolnej, która będzie w stanie odpowiednio zająć się incydentami przemocy i na nie zareagować.
This study examined how art therapists perceive their work in special schools in the Arab education sector in Israel with children who have experienced violence. The research was conducted in a qualitative paradigm using a collective case study. The data collection method was an in-depth semi-structured interview. For analysis, the data were transcribed, coded and categorized. The study included fifteen in-depth interviews conducted with Arab art therapists. The main finding of this study highlights the significant discrepancy between the acceptance of violence against children in Arab education systems and the professional role of art therapists, particularly with regard to mandatory reporting of violence against children. As a result, two important implications were formulated. First, there is a need for specialized training programs for Arab art therapists to help bridge the cultural gap in therapeutic methods and facilitate the effective communication of art therapy information to school staff and the wider community. Second, the findings underscore the importance of discussing legislation aimed at alternative approaches to mandatory reporting, such as creating a school community that can adequately address and respond to violent incidents

The effect of three finishing systems on three esthetic restorative materials
No full textIn this study, surface roughness of three esthetic materials namely composite resin, resin-modified glass ionomer, and a compomer
were examined using three finishing and polishing systems. Thirty samples of each material were prepared. Ten samples from each
material were then finished and polished with one of the three systems (Sof-Lex discs, a combination of diamond and silicone points,
and carbide finishing burs). Surface roughness (R ) of the samples after finishing and polishing were measured using a perthometer.
The results showed that Sof-Lex discs and a combination of diamond and silicone points produced significantly better finished and
polished surfaces on composite resin than on the other two materials. The roughest surfaces were obtained by carbide burs on glass
ionomer (Photac-Fil). Although a combination of diamond and silicone points could provide acceptable finishing and polishing surfaces for composite resin and resin-modified glass ionomer surfaces, Sof-Lex discs provided smoother surfaces.Corresponding Author:

No full textThis report is the output of the study which has been exploring ways in which the community based organizations can be used as instruments to alleviate poverty. The aim was to explore the extent to which the CBOs are practical, dynamic and potential actors in promoting desired socio-economic development activities in the struggle to alleviate poverty. Micro-credit, micro-financing and micro-enterprises are terms that have been used to describe and define the situation in which small loans are extended to people for the purposes of setting up small and usually self-employment projects that generate income. The research conducted aimed at examining micro-credit schemes as grassroots organizations, membership participation and accessibility, demand for credit and ways to increase lending portfolio through proposal preparations and their modus operand -which are inherent catalytic element to make them practical, dynamic, sustainable and potential in their activity sphere. The study has revealed that the credit facility is important in fostering small scale entrepreneurs to be more practical and proactive in delivering socio-economic activities. The role played by the CBO in creating entrepreneurial morale to small businesses in their locality is acknowledged. The CBO is ready to expand its services as acknowledged by demand of loans and readiness of members to access the loans. Borrowers are organized into groups and have showed their satisfaction with the current leadership. They have income generating activities, which reduce the risk of default. There are also effective mechanisms through which to disseminate valuable information on ways to improve relevant concerns of the members. Above all, the CBO has targeted one of the most vulnerable groups in society - women. By providing opportunities for self-employment, the micro credit programmes will significantly increase micro entrepreneurs' security, autonomy, self-confidence and status within the households.
