An analytical study of the theatre of the Syrian playwright Saadallah Wannous, with particular emphasis on the plays written after the 1967 war
Get PDFThis study is an examination of the life and work of
the Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous (1941-1997). Wannous's name is virtually unknown in the West; only two academic studies of any significance have appeared in English on this eminent and challenging writer, who was honoured by UNESCO at the end of his life. Even in the Arab world his standing rests largely upon his celebrity as a cultural icon, since professional performances of his plays are rare due to the decline of the theatre in the region, and little attention has been devoted to theatre studies by Arab academics. The two studies in English do not attempt to be comprehensive but focus on particular stages of Wannous's career. This study is, therefore, the first to encompass the full range of Wannous's work. To do so it combines an account of his life which seeks to comprehend the various forces that shaped his thinking with an analysis of his dramatic works. The study concentrates on the plays written in the years following the trauma inflicted on the Arab world by the catastrophe of their
defeat in the Arab-Israeli war of June, 1967. Wannous's career can be divided into three phases: the immature plays of his young manhood which are influenced by European models and generally focus on the social condition of the individual; his middle period - the `theatre of politicisation', when his Marxist politics were the main
factor shaping his drama; and his late works, which are characterised by an extraordinary freedom of thought and expression. The introduction places Wannous in his historical and sociocultural context and provides a brief background explaining the literary and theatrical traditions of the Arab world that influenced his activity as a dramatist. Each phase is then examined in turn and the plays are analysed in accordance with the focus of the study. This means that emphasis is given to the middle period,
but no significant work is neglected. The study aims to trace the trajectory of Wannous's development using a
variety of sources: the plays themselves, Wannous's own journalism and critical writings, interviews with his widow, his friends and colleagues, and numerous
journals, books and articles, some of which contain
important interviews with Wannous that shed light on his thought and ways of working. Use is also made of the
two studies mentioned above. The study shows that Wannous's theatre was influenced by the key political, social and cultural developments of his time, and that he
constantly sought to find forms that would express those transformations in dramatic terms
Correlation between thermal properties and aluminum fractions in CrAlN layers deposited by PVD technique
Get PDFThe CrAlN coatings are a good alternative to conventional CrN coatings especially for high temperature oxidation-resistance applications. Different CrAlN coatings were deposited on silicon (100) by PVD (Physical vapor deposition) technique from two targets (chromium and aluminum) in a reactive nitrogen atmosphere at aluminum applied negative voltage ( 300, 500, 700 and 900 V). The composition, structural, mechanical and thermal properties of the as-deposited coatings were systematically characterized by energy dispersive analysis of X-rays, X-ray diffraction, nanoindentation, and the ‘‘Mirage effect’’ experiments. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) data show that in general CrAlN coatings were crystallized in the cubic NaCl B1 structure, with the (1 1 1) and (2 0 0) diffraction peaks observed. Two-dimensional surface morphologies of CrAlN coatings were investigated by atomic force microscope (AFM). The results show that with increasing aluminum proportion the coatings became more compact and denser and their increased correspondingly, showing a maximum hardness of about 36 GPa (30 at% of Al) which is higher than that of CrN. Moreover, the results in this work demonstrate that the variation of aluminum fraction alter the resulting columnar grain morphology and porosity of the coatings. However, the thermal properties are greatly affected by these morphological alterations. The correlation between aluminum fraction in CrAlN coatings and its thermal properties revealed that the conductivity and the diffusivity are influenced primarily by size and shape distribution of the pores and secondarily by a decrease of the stitch parameter dimension
La autorización de residencia temporal no lucrativa en España
No full text[ES] El punto de partida de este trabajo parte del marco general de los derechos y libertades reconocidos a los extranjeros por el ordenamiento jurídico español. A partir del mismo, se pretende estudiar la modalidad de residencia temporal consistente en una autorización administrativa no basada en el desarrollo por el extranjero de actividad laboral o económica alguna (no lucrativa) sino en su propia capacidad económica o patrimonial (relevante) para su sostenimiento y el de su familia. Así, se procederá a definir el concepto de esta modalidad de residencia, sus requisitos y procedimiento, y en su caso, posibles renovaciones y modificaciones.[EN] The starting point of this work is based on the general framework of the rights and freedoms recognized to foreigners by the Spanish legal system. From this, it is intended to study the modality of temporary residence consisting of an administrative authorization not based on the development by the foreigner of any labor or economic activity (not lucrative) but on its own economic or patrimonial capacity (relevant) for its support and that of his family. Thus, we will proceed to define the concept of this type of residence, its requirements and procedure, and where appropriate, possible renovations and modifications.Saadallah, AMS. (2020).

Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
No full textIn 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow
Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
La 'circunstancia' de 'Herederos y Pretendientes
Get PDFIn June 2010, the Ortega y Gasset Foundation hosted a Conference about the “Spanish Philosophical Transition” in order to debate the book of Francisco Vázquez, La filosofía española. Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó
Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
Get PDFBACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature

Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
Get PDFIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)

No full textLos dos grandes momentos en torno a los cuales gira la cosmovisión católica, el nacimiento de Jesús y su muerte, han dado lugar, el primero, a la celebración de la Navidad, y el segundo, a la conmemoración de Semana Santa. En este texto nos ocuparemos de los años finales de la vida de Jesús, pues es precisamente Semana Santa la celebración litúrgica con que se recuerda su Pasión y su muerte. Recordemos que, en este contexto, el término “pasión” hace referencia al sufrimiento y a la serie de tormentos a que fue sometido Jesús poco antes de su muerte en la cruz, que todos conocemos.Altamirano, Ignacio Manuel (1974).
