Cultural Appropriation in Craig Thompson’s Graphic Novel Habibi
No full textAuthor: Safa Al-shammary University of Granada Download PDF version Craig Thompson’s Habibi (2011) is an American graphic novel based on a romantic fable that is set in an imaginary and modern Middle Eastern country. For the past century, the political turmoil in the Middle East has been caused to a large extent by Western geopolitical interests in the region (Ehteshami 2007, 123). The West, fueled by its power, has managed to control the East. Consequently, societies have evolved ways..
Monocentric Relationship Management (MRM) and Mcorebrain™: Defining the Single AI Paradigm Beyond CRM (Version 3.0)
No full textThis concept note introduces Monocentric Relationship Management (MRM) — an AI-native paradigm defining a single accountable AI controller that autonomously governs the entire relationship lifecycle beyond CRM.
Unlike traditional enterprise architectures that fragment intelligence across sales, marketing, pricing, contract management, credit decisioning, billing, entitlements, compliance, and service, MRM unifies them under one closed-loop cognitive system.
The framework integrates autonomy and governance through policy-as-code, human-in-the-loop oversight, and continuous learning. It reframes relationship management as an integrated control problem, where predictive and prescriptive intelligence operate within explicit safety, ethical, and compliance boundaries.
Version 3.0 expands the foundational model by introducing the Mcorebrain™ — the autonomous cognitive nucleus of MRM that interprets natural-language prompts, validates them against policy constraints, and autonomously constructs operational systems, including data models, logic, and user interfaces.
This release defines a prompt-driven generation model, connecting business intent, governance policy, and system execution in one unified, accountable framework.

Habibi. Proposta di traduzione di un romanzo young adult
No full textThis dissertation intends to present and analyse the translation from English into Italian of the first twenty-five chapters of Habibi, a teenager and young adult’s novel written by the Palestinian-American author Naomi Shihab Nye. It has been necessary to present the theoretical approach to the literary translation studies, in order to focus the attention on the translation problems and provide suitable solutions and strategies.
The first chapter gives an historical perspective on children’s literature from the end of the Nineteenth century till today, distinguishing the Italian and the American contexts. The description of the evolution process of this literary genre, which developed to satisfy the needs of the educational system, is its central issue. At the end of the chapter, we outline the main traits characterizing children’s literature and the image of the ideal reader.
The second chapter provides an overview on Palestinian literature, especially on the features of the contemporary novel and the Diaspora literature. Afterwards, we present the author Naomi Shihab Nye and the book Habibi.
In the third chapter we analyze the novel, focusing the attention on the rhythm of the narration, on the linguistic registers and the textual peculiarities found during the reading stage, according to the features of the children’s literature.
The fourth chapter consists of the translation of the first twenty-five chapters of the novel.
The fifth chapter begins with a section about the translation theory, the literary translation studies, focusing on the translation of children’s literature. Finally, there is the translation analysis. Here we present the strategies and the choices of the translation process, along with some practical examples with reference to theoretical studies. Special attention is paid to culture-specific items, lexicon and syntax.The source text can be found in appendix
The General Toeplitz/Observability Smooth Variable Structure Filter
No full textTitle: The General Toeplitz/Observability Smooth Variable Structure Filter, Author: Mohammed A. Al-Shabi, Location: MillsFault detection can be used to improve the reliability and safety of industrial
system. An important component of fault detection is filtering for parameter and state
estimation. The challenge is to create a filter that is robust and stable in light of modeling
uncertainties and parametric changes due to fault conditions.The Smooth Variable Structure Filter (SVSF) is a recently defined predictor corrector
filter based on the Sliding Mode Control concepts. The SVSF defines a
hyperplane and then applies a discontinuous corrective action that forces the estimate to
go back and forth cross that plane. The discontinuous action results in chattering. To
overcome chattering, the SVSF uses a saturated function with an associated fixed-width
smoothing boundary layer. The SVSF is useful in applications that require robustness due
to modeling uncertainties. In this thesis, the SVSF concepts are explored and further investigated. The
chattering signals are used to establish a monitoring and reconstructing algorithm that can
be used to detect and extract changes and added uncertainties in the system. However, its
ability to determine the source of the added uncertainty is limited to cases involving
abrupt step changes. There are limitations to the SVSF due to the use of the Luenberger method in
terms of sensitivity to noise and modeling errors. A novel strategy using the Toeplitz and
the Observability matrices is proposed to overcome the SVSF's limitations. This strategy
is generalized to high order systems with multiple measurements using new proposed the
General System Toeplitz and the General Observability matrices. This strategy is linked
to the SVSF and improves its performance in terms of robustness and accuracy. A novel parameter estimation technique referred to as the Iterative BiSection/
Shooting Method (IBSS) is derived and is linked to the SVSF to estimate model
parameters and states for systems in which only the model structure is known. The benefits of the proposed estimation methods are demonstrated by using
example studies involving an electro-hydrostatic actuator proposed in (Habibi, 2007) and
a three-degree of freedom mass-spring-damper system.ThesisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD

Then in terms of humour there are 4 evidences where Habibi describes the funny and strange sides of the tragedy caused by the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and the ridiculousness of the Israeli military cruelty
Crumpling-based soft metamaterials: The effects of sheet pore size and porosity
No full textCrumpled-based materials are relatively easy to fabricate and show robust mechanical properties for practical applications, including meta-biomaterials design aimed for improved tissue regeneration. For such requests, however, the structure needs to be porous. We introduce a crumpled holey thin sheet as a robust bio-metamaterial and measure the mechanical response of a crumpled holey thin Mylar sheet as a function of the hole size and hole area fraction. We also study the formation of patterns of crease lines and ridges. The area fraction largely dominated the crumpling mechanism. We also show, the crumpling exponents slightly increases with increasing the hole area fraction and the total perimeter of the holes. Finally, hole edges were found to limit and guide the propagation of crease lines and ridges
