Evaluating the Effect of Acupressure on Labor Pain and Childbirth Outcomes
type: item
description: Labor pain is one of the most intense forms of pain experienced by women during childbirth. Effective pain management is essential to promote maternal comfort, reduce anxiety, and improve the overall childbirth experience. While pharmacological methods such as epidural analgesia are commonly used, they may be associated with side effects and increased healthcare costs. Consequently, there is growing interest in complementary and non-pharmacological interventions such as acupressure for labor pain management. The reviewed studies indicate that acupressure may significantly reduce labor pain intensity and maternal anxiety during childbirth. Women receiving acupressure reported greater comfort and satisfaction with their childbirth experience compared to control groups. Several studies also demonstrated positive effects on labor outcomes, including shorter duration of labor, improved cervical dilation, reduced need for pharmacological pain relief, and increased rates of normal vaginal delivery. No significant adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes were reported, suggesting that acupressure is a safe intervention when administered appropriately. Evidence suggests that acupressure is an effective and safe complementary therapy for managing labor pain and improving childbirth outcomes. Its non-invasive nature, low cost, ease of application, and minimal side effects make it a valuable option in maternity care settings. However, further large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to establish standardized protocols and strengthen the evidence supporting its routine use during labor.

Acupressure as a Non-Pharmacological Intervention for Primary Dysmenorrhea
type: item
description: Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological conditions affecting adolescent girls and young women. It is characterized by painful menstrual cramps occurring in the absence of identifiable pelvic pathology. The condition can significantly interfere with daily activities, academic performance, work productivity, and quality of life. Although pharmacological treatments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and oral contraceptives are widely used, concerns regarding side effects and long-term medication use have increased interest in non-pharmacological approaches such as acupressure. The reviewed studies indicate that acupressure can significantly reduce the intensity and duration of menstrual pain among women with primary dysmenorrhea. Participants receiving acupressure reported improvements in pain relief, reduced use of analgesic medications, and enhanced ability to perform daily activities. Several studies also demonstrated positive effects on associated symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, headache, and emotional discomfort. Acupressure was generally found to be safe, inexpensive, easy to administer, and associated with minimal adverse effects. Evidence suggests that acupressure is an effective and safe non-pharmacological intervention for managing primary dysmenorrhea. Its ability to alleviate menstrual pain and improve overall well-being makes it a valuable complementary therapy for women seeking alternatives to medication-based treatments. However, further high-quality randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes and standardized intervention protocols are required to strengthen the evidence base and support clinical recommendations.

The Transmission of Papermaking from the Islamic West to Europe during the Medieval Period: The Seventh Century AH/Thirteenth Century CE: A Historical and Civilizational Study
type: item
description: Human history has witnessed decisive turning points closely linked to the development of media for transmitting knowledge. Papermaking ranks among the foremost technologies that reshaped human consciousness and ensured the circulation and continuity of ideas across generations. While the Islamic East provided the formative environment in which this craft developed from a rudimentary practice into an established industry, the Islamic West, particularly al-Andalus and the Maghreb, constituted the principal strategic bridge and intellectual center through which the technology reached Europe. The transmission of papermaking involved more than the transfer of a manual craft or commercial commodity. It helped dismantle the monopoly on knowledge created by reliance on parchment and papyrus and laid the material foundations for the development of scholarly institutions and universities in medieval Europe. This study traces the routes by which papermaking technology was transmitted, identifies its principal centers, and examines the most significant views expressed by Orientalist scholars on the subject.

The Omission of the Subject of Predication (Musnad Ilayh) in Surah Ya-Sin - A Rhetorical Study in the Exegesis of Sheikh Muhammad ibn Yusuf Atfayyish -
type: item
description: This study examines the phenomenon of the Predicand (musnad ilayh) omission (subject ellipsis) in Surah Ya-Sin through the methodological lens of Sheikh Muhammad ibn Yusuf Atfayyish (1236–1332 AH/1820–1914 CE) in his Qur’anic commentary The Facilitation of Exegesis (Taysir al-Tafsir). The study aims to uncover the rhetorical and grammatical dimensions of this phenomenon, analyze the rhetorical purposes that govern it, and compare Atfayyish’s approach with those of earlier rhetorical exegetes—most notably al-Zamakhshari (d. 538 AH/1144 CE) and Abu al-Su‘ud (d. 982AH/1574 CE). The study adopts a descriptive-analytical methodology in examining the exegetical texts and a comparative methodology in tracing points of convergence and divergence among the exegetes. The study concludes that Atfayyish made a distinctive contribution to the development of rhetorical exegesis through his precise integration of grammatical analysis and rhetorical deduction, while preserving the distinctive character of the Ibadi school of exegesis.

An Analysis of Social Marketing Theory and the Dilemma of Marketing between Societal Values and the Demands of Globalization
type: item
description: The topic of consumption and the consumer has become one of the controversial topics, particularly with the shift in the values of production and consumption, as well as the relationship between the producer, the seller and the consumer. This triad has been influenced by the values of globalization and social changes the international community has witnessed following the industrial revolution, technological advancements and digital revolution. This has led to the rise of modern values and ethics in economics and product marketing, especially with the emergence of electronic or digital marketing, in addition to the shift from the traditional consumption to the electronic consumption, which has affected the ethics of marketing, consumer products and the ethics of consumer behavior itself. This has prompted researchers, social theorists and economists to develop modern theories in order to study the marketing ethics and consumption patterns. Marketing and consumption are both linked to the social aspect of the consumer, which means that the impact of the social environment on the consumer, the producer and the marketer is what determines the marketing pattern and ethics.

How Automated Feature Learning Compares to Feature Engineering and How It Affects Model Performance
type: item
description: Machine learning's foundational techniques for extracting insights from unstructured data include automated feature learning and feature engineering. Feature engineering has traditionally relied on domain specialists to manually design and select appropriate features in order to improve model interpretability and performance in structured data environments. While deep learning is the primary driver of automatic feature learning, it also enables models to construct hierarchical representations from raw data directly without explicit human input. comparing the implications on model performance, scalability, and generalizability of automated feature learning against feature engineering. This study explores the ways in which handcrafted features might enhance performance in domain-specific or low-data scenarios, in contrast to automated methods that excel at handling large-scale, high-dimensional data such as photographs, text, and audio. The study also evaluates trade-offs according to computational complexity, interpretability, and development effort. Furthermore, the article highlights hybrid approaches that optimize performance through the integration of domain knowledge and machine learning. It gives examples from many domains, like as healthcare, banking, and natural language processing, to illustrate how choosing a feature method impacts model performance.

From Arabic to Latin: Translation as a Bridge for the Transmission of Knowledge from Islamic Civilization to Western Europe.
type: item
description: As a result of the contact and interaction between the East and the West during the Middle Ages, a number of scholars became interested in studying Eastern languages, particularly Arabic, and translated numerous scientific works into Latin. Many translators gained prominence, such as Adelard of Bath from the city of Bath in England, who was regarded as a pioneer of Arabic studies in the Middle Ages and an important figure in the history of Western Europe. He was the first to insist on the necessity of relying on Arabic sources of knowledge, which were then known by their Latin designation “Arabum Studia”. Another notable figure was Gerard of Cremona, who traveled to Toledo, mastered the Arabic language, and devoted himself to translating Arabic works, rendering into Latin more than seventy-eight treatises in philosophy, medicine, mathematics, and other fields. Likewise, Michael Scot, who spent his final years at the court of Frederick II, produced significant translations in natural philosophy and the sciences. These translators moved to various Islamic regions, including al-Andalus and Sicily, accompanied the Crusader campaigns, and endured the hardships of travel, learning, and manuscript collection for the purpose of translation. They became deeply immersed in Arab culture and adopted the Arabic scientific method. Upon returning to their homelands, they served as ambassadors of knowledge in the West. Their translations contributed significantly to the scientific awakening of Europe, making them among the earliest Orientalists of the Middle Ages and some of the most important agents in the transmission of culture and knowledge between East and West. For this reason, I have chosen this study to highlight the role of translation in the transfer of sciences and manuscripts from the Muslim world to Western Europe.

Machine Learning-Based Market Forecasting Models for AI-Assisted Financial Prediction
type: item
description: More accurate data-driven projections of market behavior are now available to financial forecasters thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). The non-linear patterns, volatility, and complexity of financial markets are so great that traditional methods of forecasting often fall behind. On the flip side, machine learning models can scour real-time and historical data sets for patterns, anomalies, and correlations to enhance their prediction capabilities. Decision trees, regression algorithms, support vector machines (SVMs), and deep learning structures like neural networks and recurrent models are the most common machine learning models used in artificial intelligence (AI) financial forecasting. how these models use a plethora of data, such as past prices, economic indicators, and sentiment studies extracted from social media and news, to forecast market trends, financial risks, and stock values. Concerns about data quality, overfitting, the interpretability of models, and market unpredictability are some of the downsides of using AI for forecasting. Accurate predictions are possible with the application of tactics for risk management, model optimization, and careful feature selection.

Contemporary Trends in the In-Service Training of Middle School Teachers: An Analytical and Applied Approach
type: item
description: This study seeks to shed light on the most prominent contemporary trends in the in-service training of middle-school teachers, through an analytical reading of their theoretical foundations and philosophical underpinnings. It adopts a descriptive-analytical method grounded in the analysis of relevant educational literature, linking theoretical frameworks to the reality of the training system in Algeria. The study finds that competency-based training represents an extension of an authentic pedagogical heritage, that the individual model emphasises personal differences, and that the skills-based orientation focuses on breaking teaching down into procedural components. The functional model, in turn, corrects the reductionism found in earlier orientations by introducing an ethical dimension. Micro-teaching emerges as a practical training tool, while the systems approach offers a comprehensive framework that has been adopted by the Algerian educational system. The study concludes that these trends are complementary rather than contradictory, and that deploying them jointly serves the development of teacher performance.

description: The integration of developing markets into the global economic system has been a crucial contributing factor in the expansion and transformation of these markets as a result of globalization. Globalization is a term that describes the growing interconnection of economies as a result of commerce, investment, technological advancements, and the movement of both labor and money. As a consequence of globalization, emerging economies like India, Brazil, and China have seen significant economic transformations. These transformations include fast industrialization, increasing foreign investment, and broader access to international markets. the influence that globalization has had on developing economies, with a particular emphasis on important issues like as the liberalization of trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), the transfer of technological know-how, and the integration of financial systems. These economies have been able to achieve better growth rates, improve their productivity, and diversify their industrial base as a result of globalization. increased competitiveness in international marketplaces as a result of the spread of technology and expertise. On the other hand, globalization also brings up a number of difficulties. It is possible for domestic industries, particularly small and medium firms, to suffer adverse effects as a result of increased exposure to global competition. Emerging economies are frequently confronted with risks that are associated with financial instability, income disparity, and environmental deterioration. As a result of their integration into global markets, these economies are susceptible to experiencing severe spillover effects from factors such as global financial crises and other external shocks.

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system and has profound physical, psychological, and social consequences. Beyond its neurological manifestations, the disease often imposes considerable emotional burdens that challenge patients’ ability to maintain psychological well-being and adapt to everyday life. In recent years, psychological immunity has emerged as an important construct in health psychology because it reflects the psychological resources that enable individuals to withstand stress, regulate emotions, and adapt effectively to adversity. The present study aimed to explore the nature of psychological immunity in a woman diagnosed with multiple sclerosis through an in-depth clinical investigation. A clinical case study design was adopted involving one female participant diagnosed with MS. Data were collected using a semi-structured clinical interview, behavioral observation, and the Psychological Immunity Scale. The qualitative and quantitative findings indicated that the participant demonstrated a high level of psychological immunity despite the physical and emotional challenges imposed by the disease. Illness acceptance, optimism, resilience, adaptive coping strategies, and strong family support appeared to play a significant role in facilitating her psychological adjustment and maintaining emotional stability. The findings highlight the importance of psychological immunity as a protective factor that may enhance adaptation and psychological well-being among individuals living with chronic neurological diseases. The study also emphasizes the value of integrating psychological support into the comprehensive care of patients with multiple sclerosis.

The Trends in Unemployment and the Impact They Have on the Development of the Economy
type: item
description: The issue of unemployment is a key macroeconomic problem that has a considerable impact on economic development, particularly in economies that are still in the process of developing or emerging. A situation in which people who are ready and competent to work are unable to obtain employment that is suited for them is referred to as insufficient employment. An analysis of recent patterns in unemployment and the influence those trends have had on economic growth, productivity, and social welfare is presented in this paper. A number of factors, including economic cycles, technological advancements, demographic expansion, and structural adjustments in the labor market, all contribute to the formation of trends in unemployment. Countries such as India are experiencing prolonged unemployment and underemployment due to a combination of factors, including expanding population and skill mismatches. As a result of high unemployment rates, human resources are not being utilized to their full potential, income levels are falling, and aggregate demand is decreasing, which means that economic growth is being slowed down. Additionally, the socio-economic repercussions of unemployment, which include an increase in poverty, as well as income disparity and social instability. In addition, prolonged unemployment can lead to the loss of skills and a decrease in labor productivity, both of which have a negative impact on long-term growth prospects. On the other hand, the production of employment that is modest and well-managed has the potential to increase living standards and economic stability.

The Role of Exploratory Expeditions in Establishing French Expansionist Projects in the Algerian Sahara
type: item
description: This paper examines the role of the exploratory expeditions undertaken by French officers and European explorers—such as René Caillié, Lieutenant Lapie, Avézac, General Devaux, Flatters, and Gerhard Rohlfs—in supporting French colonial policy in the Algerian Sahara. The study highlights how the findings of these expeditions were exploited to facilitate the exploration, occupation, and expansion of French influence throughout the Sahara. The paper further analyzes the major colonial projects implemented by France, beginning with the proposal to connect northern Algeria with the Sahara through a railway network in 1853. These projects aimed to exploit the Sahara’s abundant natural resources, which were either scarce or unavailable in Europe, including dates, livestock, alfa grass, and henna, thereby strengthening the French economy. Moreover, France sought to suppress the traditional trans-Saharan caravan trade, establish military dominance over the region, facilitate the movement of military convoys, create restricted military zones, and encourage European settlers to exploit oasis lands confiscated from their indigenous owners, causing severe economic hardship for the local population. The study also discusses the promotion of Christian missionary activities, which significantly affected the religious and cultural identity of the inhabitants of southern Algeria. Finally, it demonstrates how the Algerian Sahara became a strategic military base for launching French expansion toward Sub-Saharan Africa, enabling the exploration of its routes and geographical features.

Water and the Making of the Hydro-Social Oasis Landscape in the Touat Region during the Medieval Period: A Historical Perspective on Settlement Dynamics and Saharan Urbanism
type: item
description: This article examines the dialectical relationship between water and settlement in the region of Touat, one of the principal oasis spaces of the central Sahara within the medieval Islamic Maghreb. The study proceeds from the premise that water was not a neutral natural given, but rather a central agent in the production of social and built space through the foggara irrigation system, which allowed heterogeneous human groups to establish stable settlements in an arid environment. The analysis draws on a critical reading of descriptive geographers, on travel accounts as field testimonies, and on Ibn Khaldun's data concerning valleys, water tributaries, urbanization, and the desert economy. The study concludes that the territorial anchoring of settlement in Touat resulted from a complex interaction between hydrological geography, social organization, and trans-Saharan trade networks, warranting the notion of an integrated hydro-social space.

Reduced Chronic Low Back Pain with Acupressure: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: One of the most common forms of disability globally, chronic low back pain (CLBP) has a profound impact on people's ability to move around, do daily tasks, and get things done. Alternative pain management methods, such as acupressure, are gaining popularity as non-invasive and affordable alternatives to traditional medicine and physical therapy. Various electronic databases were queried for relevant material, including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria included studies that were published in English and looked at the effects of acupressure on adults suffering from persistent low back pain. Methods such as comparative clinical research, randomized controlled trials, and quasi-experimental studies were considered. Information regarding the study's parameters, procedures for interventions, metrics for outcomes, and important conclusions were retrieved and evaluated. When compared to both baseline data and, in certain instances, control interventions, the examined trials showed that acupressure significantly reduced pain intensity and improved physical function. Acupressure patients reported better mobility, lower disability ratings, and overall health and well-being. Treatment efficacy differed across acupressure methods, treatment length, and session frequency. It appears that acupressure is typically safe and well-tolerated, as there were little reports of unwanted effects.

Translation as a Tool for Acculturation: Language and the Question of Identity Modern and Contemporary Literary Criticism
type: item
description: This study seeks to shed light on the relationship between language and identity, focusing specifically on the role that the Arabic language plays as a vehicle of resistance and a means of preserving identity. It further examines translation as a mediator between language and identity—one that performs the function assigned to it: either highlighting and safeguarding identity, or erasing and distorting its features. Accordingly, this research paper addresses the concepts of language, identity, and, in particular, cultural identity, concentrating on translation as a fundamental factor in either consolidating and clarifying identity or obliterating and dissipating it. Through this inquiry, we seek to answer a set of questions that frame the study: What is the relationship that binds language to identity? What is the nature of the relationship that links translation to language, identity, and culture? How does linguistic translation perform its role in presenting and consolidating cultural identity on the one hand, or erasing and deforming it on the other, within the framework of acculturation between the Self and the Other?

Muscular Strength of Swimmers
type: item
description: Muscular strength is one of the basic physical attributes that directly influences performance level of swimmers, due to its critical function in producing arm propulsive force and enhancing movement efficiency in the aquatic environment. It is through the muscles of the arms, shoulders, and trunk that mechanical force is generated and transmitted into forward acceleration, which minimises the influence of water resistance and positively reflects on the swimmer’s pace and continuity of performance. Explosive strength is also a vital component at the start phase, as it enables the swimmer to produce maximal force in a short time, delivering a time advantage from the very beginning of the race. Success in this phase depends on the efficacy of the neuromuscular system in activating fast-twitch muscle fibers and employing them effectively. Through this study attempt, we wish to highlight the relevance of investigating these variables in a thorough, scientific manner, given their vital role in enhancing race timings and competitive performance among swimmers.

The Culture of Remembrance and Coming to Terms with the Past in Post-World War II Literary Texts
type: item
description: The concepts of “culture of remembrance” and “coming to terms with the past” play a central role in Germany’s engagement with the consequences of World War II and the legacy of National Socialism. Together, they form an important basis of Germany’s postwar democratic identity and provide frameworks for public dialogue about historical events, especially guilt, responsibility, and collective memory. A culture of remembrance encompasses how a society recalls and preserves its past. It is expressed not only through memorials and museums but also through literary representations of historical experience. The purpose of remembrance and engagement with the past is to preserve historical memory, transmit it to future generations, and cultivate an awareness of human dignity and peace. After 1945, German authors confronted the crimes of National Socialism; questions of guilt and responsibility consequently became central concerns of postwar literature.
