The Critical Discourse In Ahmed Amin's Articles

Mohammed Salih Rashid Gargis

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 309-348

Ahmed Amin (1886-1954) was one of our literates who lived though the beginnings of the last century Renaissance. He was taken by the awakening and emergent changes of the global literature and thought. Thus, he tried to be among the first to react with and participate in these changes in order that the Nation would take its suitable human and cultural position. He believed that such a position could be realized if continuous aware prerequisites including technical, scientific and cultural ones are prepared.
He believed right from the very beginning, that there is no specific closure of knowledge sphere, that any literature or nation's thought carries values and orientations which are ready for anywhere and anytime solutions. Thus, he claims for finding a new Arabic Literary discourse trying to add new spheres of knowledge to it. This is so, because it is illogical for the Nation's thought and literary discourse to remain in a state of previous works rumination. Thus, a new semantic foundation is required to benefit from the discourse of Present for the Future.
In his critical articles, and among the basics of this semantic foundations was his implied claim for uni3fying a distinctive framework and method of Arabic Literature away from subordination and imitation.

Shatha Muthaffar MalAllah

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 349-368

Texualization is considered a prominent phenomenon in the literal text whether it was a poetry or a a prose, as each text has its own connections with previous texts and it is totally different from the text with which it has a textual relation through Bakhtenian dialogue that is achieved between the two texts to uncover the relations between the previous and the current text taking into consideration all the external references (outside the text) and internal ones (inside the text).Thus it will generate a new text which fulfills the communication process between the sender and the recipient.
The research entitled: (Texuality and Referencing in the poem of (MawsimShie'r) by the Poet Bashar IbnYamoot) tackled the texualization that showed the relation between the title and the text and the extent to which it influences the text formally and semantically, and also tackled the format of the poetic verses through analyzing the action, shape and the meaning.
Then, the researcher moved to the reference of the places and characters in an attempt to distinguish between the two terms: textualization and reference

Rhetoric of Omission in the Holy Qura'n

Basheer Mahmoud Fattah

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 435-484

Omission is an obvious phenomenon in Arabic regarding grammar and meaning because it requires two things: the existence of clue that refers to the omitted and the existence of the probable. The first thing is back to grammar that omission is never true unless the clues are availabile. The other thing back to meaning because there is no omission without compatibility and both things are studied in this research. The case endings may be an important clue of the omitted noun or verb that all of this has a relation to meaning and an effect in speech. Grammarians have not differentiate between noun and verb but between a verb and another regarding semantics and meaning explaining the linguistic system which requires mentioning the grammatical structure and if something is dropped from it depending on the circumstance or speech evidences: There are expressions which are used together and no one exists without the other like construct noun phrase, modified and modifier, conditional sentence and apodosis, that needs estimation when omitted .
Whatever the situation is, we will study omission in the Holy Qura'n regarding grammar and meaning in four sections: the first section: the central omission which will be disussed in length in this research, the second section: omission of some accompanying elements, the third section: omission of what is left, and the fourth section: omission of letters. Before these sections , there is a brief preface that studies the meaning of omission regarding language and expressions, the proofs of omission and its conditions and qualifications, the research has a conclusion in which a summay of will be presented.

AL-Naql and AL-Irtijal

Abdulkareem Ali Omr Al-Maqari

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 539-568

The importance of this study comes out fromcombining jurisprudential terms with linguist sensesthrough the attention given by jurisprudents to the linguistic aspect. Most of the consulted references in this study are jurisprudents’ compilations, old and contemporary linguistic books in addition to some dictionaries.
The two terms AL-Naql (change of meaning) and AL-Irtijal (improvisation) are mentioned by linguists and jurisprudents as description and application. The term AL-Mmanqool (The transferred term) is mentioned by the grammarians to mean the opposite of the improvised terms of proper nouns. AL- Manqool (the transferred term) ismentioned by morphologists to refer to the practical aspect of morphology. AL- Manqool (the transferred term) is used by rhetoricians under the category of real meaning and metaphor whereas AL- Murtajal (the improvised term) does not lie within the major of rhetoricians.
The Islamic fundamentalists (the experts of the origin of Islamic jurisprudence) are the ones who studied these two terms more than others. They pay attention to the changer, the author and the user of these two terms. They see the improvised termas real meaning with regard to the jurisprudential changer whereas AL- Manqool (the transferred term)depends on the changers, so there are different terms:the linguistically-transferred term, the jurisprudentially-transferred term and the customary-transferred term whether it is specific or general. Al-r (the semantic change of meaning)and Al-Irtijal (the improvisation) were used by jurisprudents with both the linguistic and idiomatic senses.
Thus, the jurisprudential terms can be divided into the jurisprudentially-transferred term and the jurisprudentially-improvised term and this is a characteristic of all jurisprudential divisions with regard to these two terms. Peace be upon our master Mohamed, his family and all his companions. Praise be to Allah the Master of all worlds.

Abdul Muhsin Taha Younus

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 569-600

This is a nice treatise in Hanafi Jurisprudence entitled "Kashf alkina'a 'an Mas'alat altabarru'a bima yastahiqqul radhie'e" which means (uncovering the mask of bestowing the suckling's rights), authored by the scholar sheikh Hasan Bin Ammar bin Ali al Sharanbalali. The sheikh answered a question about a man who divorced his wife, and a trivial amount of money was assigned to his ex wife in return of her breast feeding and taking care of his suckling. The man wanted to stop this allocation by claiming that he found another woman who was ready to wet nurse his son for free in addition of his being a poor man.
This treatise, although short, is worth to be considered. It is old , of unique subject, of few versions and its author is well known and estimated. The author was called the Lantern of the Azhar and its shiningt planet. It was said that if the man who wrote the book of al Siraj al Wahhaj saw him, he would quote some of his light and if the author of al dhahira saw him he would disappear at his appearance. He was the master of disputed matters, the one whose treatises and presentations surpassed the most beneficial means.
Allah, be He exalted, bestowed upon me the means to find two hand written copies after long search and much effort. I strained myself to scrutinize it according to accurate scientific scrutinizing, to serve those who seek to learn jurisprudence, I amended the text, classified the ayas, defined the terms and gave a biography of figures as well as a preface of the author's life.

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 649-668

The Murabiteen state was greatly constructed by religious men and philologists. Their efforts strengthened the state. It was normal for those persons to be glorified and consulted by the Murabiteen rulers. Thus, they became the advisers of the Murabiteen rulers. In addition to that, the judge's powers were multiple and various. The judge supervised many plans of life like Shura (consulting), prayer and oratory.
‎Generally, the Murabiteen rule was characterized by the Islamic principles.
‎Thus, they did not decide anything without consulting the religious men like philologists. It was well-known that the Murabiteen ruler, Yousif Bin Tashfeen, was preferring and glorifying the philologists and religious men as well as taking their advice.
‎Yousif Bin Tashfeen's son followed his father's way in consulting the judges and the philologists in all the state's affairs. Even when his son succeeded the throne, he consulted the judges' advice. Thus, consulting judges became the habit of all the Murabiteen princes to follow

However, that had not continued only for two years where the constitution was suspended and the national council was dissolved; that situation was as an early retrogression for the state where the country experienced the growing of national movement that opposed the government's decisions and emergence of parties and societies such as (the constitutional movement).
After the second Golf war (1990-1991) the opposition movements stressed on the importance of the constitution as a sole and accepted base for politics and focused on restoration of the previous representative bodies like the Bahrain national council through the petitions that have been submitted to the ruling regime. They were concentrated primary on enlarging the range of political participation and considering consultation the main base for democracy. In spite of the positive developments that enhanced democracy and which have been occurred precisely since taking waters of governance by Sheikh Hamad Bin Issa in Bahrain in 1999, the political stability has not been achieved; so he issued a new constition in 2002 that aimed to adapt to internal pressures which were encountered by the country. The country remained to suffer from the traditional problems especially the political sectarianism that had spread in the country beside the absolute control by the government over the political bodies.

The research studies the nature of the American-French relations during 1958-1969; the period during which Charles De Gaulle assumed the power in France.
Charles De Gaulle, since he took power, pursued an independence policy apart from the outside world that aimed at bringing France back to the ranks of the great powers as it was in the past. That policy intersected with the USA as it was the leader of the West. The withdrawal of France from the NATO and developing its nuclear program were the considerable features of that rupture and intensive tension within the French-American relations.

"Educational Reformist Speech by of Imam Abdul-Hameed Bin Badees"

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 851-876

Imam Abdul-Hameed Bin Badees, the founder of Algerian Muslim Scholars Association, was regarded as one of the Algerian prominent scholars in educational reforming. Among the association leaders, he was distinguished by harangue, vision and method. He was educated and was living the tragedy of his society and culture in his own way. His comprehensive reformist activity, which was social, political, educational, religious and patriotic, had a prominent role in restoring Islamic Arabic prestige to Algeria and creating a society which could stand against the invaders to attain independence.
After being occupied by France in (1830 A.D.), the Algerian society was obviously controlled by the French culture that even some people of Algerian society were affected by it. In addition, Islamic thought was widely controlled by Sufism. These led to spreading heresies and myths. So, Algerian reformist scholars together with Imam Abdul-Hameed Bin Badees were pushed to search for means and ways to get the Algerian society out of retardation and ignorance and also to rid Islam of all what was falsely attached to it, i.e. all the things which afflicted the Islamic nation in general and the Algerian society in particular. So, the Imam directed all his reformist and educational efforts to treat the society by demanding to refer to Holly Qur'an and Sunnah through his reformist speeches which he was delivering in his lessons and teachings in Mosques, as well as his publications on papers which he published.
This research aims at eliciting the aspects of the Imam's reformist speech in education, teaching and press. Thus, it was decided to divide the research into: an introduction about the concept of speech and its importance in reforming; a summary about the life and personality of Imam Bin Badees. Furthermore, the educational reform in the teaching domain and the role of scholars and press in teaching and educational reform from the speech of Imam Bin Badees were also tackled.

Twenty five isolates of the fungus Alternaria alternata, the causative agent of leaf-spot disease, were obtained from diseased specimens of eight vegetable plants collected from several sites within the city of Mosul, Iraq. The isolates were purified by the slide-culture technique and the single-spore isolation technique and used to compare their radial growth rate and efficiency in producing conidia, both features are essential for successful spread of the plant pathogen.After 5 days incubation on PSA at (25±1)ºc isolate AA4 from Beta vulgaris gave the largest colony diameter (55mm) while isolate AA11 isolated from Raphanus oleracea gave the smallest (34.1mm).As regard the conidial suspension density, isolate AA20 from Abelmoschus esculentus gave the most dense suspension (14x105 conidia/ml) while isolate AA24 from Beta vulgaris gave the least dense suspension (8.2x105 conidia/ml) among all isolates. Both of these attributes are genetically controlled and very essential for successful spread of the pathogen.

Determination of the ideal hardness values for samples compounds and alloys fabricated from powder oxide of single metal elements

Yahiya N. Yahiya AL-Jamaal; Ayad J. Jargess

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 991-1012

In this paper, the best values of the hardness of CuO and ZnO and their alloys have been determined. This is performed according to the chemical form of CuxZn1-xO for values 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1. Different pressure values (8, 10, 12.5, 15, 17) have been applied on the samples. After that, the hardness measurements have been performed with and without thermal coefficients according to the annealing and cooling. The annealing temperatures were 2, 3, 4 hr. Next, slowly cooling in the air (inside the oven) and fast cooling in the air are done, as well as, in water and oil.
The measurement results of the hardness of compressed and non-annealed CuO and ZnO under different pressures indicate these values were very small and approach to zero. This can be attributed to the lack of cohesion at room temperature.
Moreover the measurement results of the hardness of CuO have shown that the compressed samples under pressure (15-17 ton/cm2) and annealed with temperature 1000 Co have the highest values of the hardness, these samples have been annealed from 3 to 4 hr., then have been cooled slowly in the air and fast in the oil, their hardness values were 122 1nd 123, respectively. This depends on the method used in the study (Rockwell Hardness Test). With respect to the ZnO, the hardness values were different compared to the hardness values of CuO. The hardness value of CuO was 4, this depends on the(VickersHardness Test). The reason behind that may be attributed to the fragile, slack nature and smallness sizes of the grains.
The alloys with the chemical form CuxZn1-xO have been fabricated;studying of the pressure effects and thermal coefficients on the hardness values has been achieved depending on the method of (VickersHardness Test) because this method is more suitable for alloys. The hardness values of non-annealed alloys were very small because of the lack of cohesion of their grains; while the hardness of the annealed alloys which treated by slow and fast cooling have identical values approximately. Finally, it is observed that hardness reduces when mass percentage of ZnO/CuO is increased.

Hashim Fathi Yassin

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 1031-1038

Photocoagulation therapy is a method of treating detachments of the retina (the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye) with an argon laser. The high-intensity beam of light from the laser is converted into heat, which forces protein molecules in the affected tissue to condense and seal the tissue. So photocoagulation bleeding of retina with Argon laser of a diabetic patient is considered one of the modern method for searching ofa relationship between the energy of laser beam and spot area of bleeding retina.The aim of the research is the choice of the energy needed for space required, leading to reduced patient stay under the laser device and reduce the fear factor of the patient.The quality information that has been obtained can be used in future as database which can be embedded into a laser device can work automatically.

Lombard Speech Effects on the Production and Perception of Plosives

Esam Ahmed Abdulrahim; Wisam Saeed Abed

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 1039-1050

In the presence of noise, the characteristics of speech are changed which is known as the Lombard effect. This effect is perceptually felt with an increase in intensity of speaking. These changes in the characteristics of speech production are to ensure intelligible communication in noisy environments. These changes also result in the performance degradation of speech systems like speaker recognition and speech recognition. Human speech production mechanism is affected by this phenomenon.
Acoustic and auditory changes occur when a speaker modifies his/her vocal output to increase the vocal effort and to articulate in a more precise manner for better communication. The Lombard effect increases the degree of speech intelligibility unlike other levels of noise pollution.
This study attempts to assess the effect of this phenomenon on the production and perception of plosives of English, Standard Arabic and Baghdadi Arabic. Certain acoustic tests will be conducted on English and Arabic speakers with full computerized analysis of data.
Keywords: Lombard speech, intelligibility, plosives, acoustic features

An Analysis of Discourse Markers in Online Chat Discourse

Nashwan Mustafa Al-Sa; ati

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 1051-1062

This study investigates the types, functions, frequency and importance of discourse markers (henceforth, DMs) in thirty private synchronous online Yahoo chat texts. The data are drawn from same- and cross- sex dyadic interactions. Adopting Schiffrin's (1987) and Fraser's (1999) models, the study seeks to address certain research questions such as how are the forms of DMs in online chat discourse realized; which DMs are the most frequent; Does gender type play a role in the chatters' use of DMs, etc.
Certain hypotheses are formulated out of which DMs are frequently used in online chat. Second, there are differences in the use of DMs in same- and cross-sex dyadic interactions; it is also hypothesized that conjunction is the most frequent DM in all types of interactions; and that some DMs are informal while others are quite formal.
The results of the study match the hypotheses raised. Thus, it has been found, among the concluding remarks, that there are frequent use of DMs by chatters and that there are gender differences in the use of DMs though conjunction has the highest percentage.

Problems of Translating Tawriya (pun) in Some Glorious Qur'anic Texts into English

Ziyad A. Mahmood

College Of Basic Education Research Journal, 2014, Volume 13, Issue 2, Pages 1063-1080

This paper sheds light on an Arabic rhetorical phenomenon called
At-Tawriya (pun) which is predominantly manifested in some literary and religious texts. It occurs when a speaker uses an expression with two meanings one of which is the surface, obvious, straightforward meaning called المورّى به Almuwarra bihi which comes first to the addressee's mind, though it is not intended by the speaker; the other is the deep underlying one called المورّى عنه Almuwarra canhu, and although it is intended by the addresser, it does not cross the addressee's mind. At-Tawriya makes the addressee think that the surface straightforward meaning is the intended meaning since it first evokes in his/her mind and consequently s/he misunderstands the deep underlying meaning which is the one intended by the speaker. The study aims at (1) exploring the nature and causes behind using At-Tawriya. (2) pointing out some problems a translator may face when rendering Qur'anic verses (ayahs) including such a phenomenon into English. The study hypothesizes that unawareness on the part of the translators of the punning nature of some Qur'anic texts may lead them to misunderstanding of the underlying intended meaning and therefore producing literal and inaccurate renderings. The study comes out with the conclusion that At-Tawriya is not as clear cut as other rhetorical devices to be easily recognized by translators for its intended meaning is always covered by the unintended one. Hence, it is considered a problematic area for translators especially when the surface unintended meaning is supported by a contextual evidence.
