The social trend in the poetry of Muhammad Hussein Al-Saghir: Analytical study
No full textSocial issues are addressed in literature because the writer's literature is based on social reality. In literature, reality is a perspective influenced by social reality. Moreover, it has served as literature's social mirror, reflecting the social realities around the author through interpretation and response. The researcher recognised the significance of this topic because literature and society have a profoundly intertwined relationship that does not produce any art in general or literature, particularly in the group, and because it is unclear whether a person is born with the ability to create art for personal enjoyment or to hear poetry alone. He was looking for social literature analysis. In poetry, Muhammad Hussain al-Saghir (Analytical Study of Social Literature). The researcher employed the library's approach for data collection, which includes reading and recording books and references and doing work connected to gathering, reading, recording, and evaluating library-based data. The researcher employed descriptive-qualitative methodologies for the data analysis. For this investigation, the researcher was going to look at more than one thing, so comparison methods were also used. After doing this study, the researcher concluded that Muhammad Hussain al-Poetry Saghir's significantly influenced his cultural and literary output. 
Adapting authoritarianism: institutions and co-optation in Egypt and Syria
No full textThis PhD thesis compares Egypt and Syria’s authoritarian political systems. While the tendency in social science political research treats Egypt and Syria as similarly authoritarian, this research emphasizes differences between the two systems with special reference to institutions and co-optation. Rather than reducibly understanding Egypt and Syria as sharing similar histories, institutional arrangements, or ascribing to the oft-repeated convention that “Syria is Egypt but 10 years behind,” this thesis focuses on how events and individual histories shaped each states current institutional strengthens and weaknesses. Specifically, it explains the how varying institutional politicization or de-politicization affects each state’s capabilities for co-opting elite and non-elite individuals.
Beginning with a theoretical framework that considers the limited utility of democratization and transition theoretical approaches, the work underscores the persistence and durability of authoritarianism. Chapter two details the politicized institutional divergence between Egypt and Syria that began in the 1970s. Chapter three and four examines how institutional politicization or de-politicization affects elite and non-elite individual co-optation in Egypt and Syria. Chapter five discusses the study’s general conclusions and theoretical implications.
This thesis’s argument is that Egypt and Syria co-opt elites and non-elites differently because of the varying degrees of institutional politicization in each governance system. Rather than view one country as more politically developed than the other, this work argues that Syria’s political institutions are more politicized than their Egyptian counterparts. Syria’s political arena is, thus, described as politicized-patrimonialism. Syria’s politicized-patrimonial arena produces uneven co-optation of elites and non-elites as they are diffused through competing institutions. Conversely, the Egyptian political arena remains highly personalized as weak institutions and individuals are manipulated and molded according to the president’s ruling clique. This is referred to as personalized-patrimonialism. As a consequence, Egypt’s political establishment demonstrates more flexibility in ad hoc altering and adapting its arena depending on the emergence of crises.
This study’s theoretical implications suggest that, contrary to modernization and democratization theory’s adage that institutions lead to a political development, politicized institutions within a patrimonial order actually hinder regime adaptation because consensus is harder to achieve and maintain. It is within this context that Egypt’s de-politicized institutional framework advantages its top political elite. In this reading of Egyptian and Syrian politics, Egypt’s personalized political arena is more adaptable than Syria’s. These conclusions do not indicate that political reform is a process underway in either state

No full textTitle: Exponential families in statistical inference Author: Sally Abdel-Maksoud Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Daniel Hlubinka, Ph.D. Supervisor's e-mail address: [email protected] Abstract: This diploma thesis provides an evaluation of Exponential families of distributions which has a special position in mathematical statistic including appropriate properties for estimation of population parameters, hypothesis testing and other inference problems. Diploma will introduce the basic concepts and facts associated with the distribution of exponential type especially with focusing on the advantages of exponential families in classical parametric statistics, thus in theory of estimation and hypothesis testing. Emphasis will be placed on one-parameter and multi- parameters systems. It also exposes an important concepts about the curvature of a statistical problem including the curvature in exponential families. We will define a quantity that measure how nearly "exponential" the families are. This quantity is said to be the statistical curvature of the family. We will show that the family with a small curvature enjoy the good properties of exponential families Moreover, the properties of the curvature, hypotheses testing and some..

Arab and Latin American Literature: Mourid Barghouti, Najla Said, and Lina Meruane in Palestine
No full textOver the past quarter-century, the production of memoirs on Palestine in Arabic, English, and, more recently, Spanish animated the genre. This article compares diasporic memoirs of return to Palestine: Palestinian poet Mourid Barghouti’s Ra’aytu Ramallah (1996), Arab-American author Najla Said’s Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab-American Family (2013), and Chilean writer Lina Meruane’s Volverse Palestina (2013). Examining the narrative of return genre across three languages illuminates how Arab, Arab-American, and Latin American writers of Arab ancestry contribute to the rise of new memoirs in Arabic, English, and Spanish within a global cultural production on Palestine

Anglophone Arab Autobiography and the Postcolonial Middle East: Najla Said and Hisham Matar
No full textA prominent device assumed by the contemporary Anglophone Arab memoir is that of the ‘return narrative’. This chapter focuses on Palestinian-American author Najla Said’s Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab American Family and London-based Libyan novelist Hisham Matar’s The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between. Looking for Palestine and The Return represent a new form of transnational literature that explicitly seeks to cut across the Orientalised circuits of literary and cultural exchange by which memoirs from the Arab world are typically written, published and read. They trace personal and political trajectories that draw attention to the Middle East of the twenty-first century and that explore the dynamics of return in this rapidly changing context. By closely attending to these memoirs of return, I aim in this chapter to reveal how the genre of Anglophone Arab autobiography engages established networks of literary transmission and reception, and, in so doing, sheds new light on the Middle East.https://fount.aucegypt.edu/faculty_book_chapters/1784/thumbnail.jp
