This study focused on linguistic ideas aimed at building linguist networks in the East and West. It made uses of an intellectual historical method. Documents, as books and scientific publications, were used both primary and secondary data. Linguists' writings were regarded as the major source. Historical papers, journals, and books that examine linguistic ideas, commentary on them, and other literatures linked to the subject were considered secondary sources. Re-reading was used to analyze the data received, particularly the aspects that had the most serious issues, were the most apparent, and attracted the most attention from linguists' ideas. This was done in order to come up with complete and critical findings that incorporate facts, hypotheses, and viewpoints. The study found that linguists who were connected in the network of linguistic study centers played an important role in disseminating linguistic ideas, both through the teaching and works of the kitab. This study concluded that Arabic linguistics had grown and developed in Islamic discipline in order to reach the totality of understanding of Lughat al-Tanzīl (al-Qur'ān). In general, the phenomena that stood out in the intellectual network were (a) the phenomenon of continuity and exploration with nuances of strict simāʻ and qiyās, (b) continuity and change with nuances of simāʻ and loose qiyās, (c) new synthesis through ikhtiyār (selection) and intikhāb (choice) processes with philosophical nuances, and (d) critical neo-synthesis with zhāhiriy nuances, which simplify ʻāmil, taʻlīl, and qiyās, ultimately affiliated to the Basrah and Kufa Network.

Macau was the first port on the China coast to come under the influence of a foreign power and will be the last to return to Chinese sovereignty. Its historical importance in the early transmission of culture between East and West is well known. After reaching its height as the centre of such contact in the second half of the 16th century Macau, like Portugal, languished in international affairs albeit with subsequent brief periods of relative importance.

AbstractIn summary, the multiple quotations and discussions of Psalm 82:1, 6-7 in the fathers of the second and third centuries show that the Psalm had a very early use in the life of the church. It was used first and primarily as a proof text for the divinity of Christ. This use of the Psalm dates back at least into the first part of the second century and possibly predates the Gospel of John itself. Its use in the east and west probably points to common ancestor in the very early collections of tetimonia. Secondly, an echo of another debate can be heard in Justin and Irenaeus when they discuss the contrast between the Psalm's "I said, 'You are gods.'" and its "You will die like men." This debate arose because of the primary use of the text. It concerns which people are called gods and in what sense, on the contrary, that some die "like men." It is this debate over the meaning of Psalm 82 that gave impetus to the development of a doctrine of Christian deification. This doctrine was thus carved out of a text used for both Christological and soteriological purposes and led to the very close association of the idea of the incarnation and deification. So Irenaeus was largely producing an cxegetical summary when he produced the catchy phrase that the Lord Jesus Christ "became what we are, that He might bring us to be even what He is himself."43 And with only slight polishing, Athanasius generated a topos for centuries to come when he stated that "He became man, that we might become god."44

ملخص البحث:ينبني مضمون هذه المداخلة على مناقشة طروحات أساسية في النقد الأدبي العربي المعاصر وتتمثل في أزمةالمنهج، والتشويش الحاصل فيه هذا عبر محاولات التجريب النقدي، ودعوة بعض الأصوات النقدية العربيةمغرباً ومشرقاً إلى النهوض بالنقد العربي، ومحاولة الاجتهاد في خلق نقد عربي أصيل له أصوله التاريخية، ولهامتداده الحداثي المنبثق من تأثره بما توصل إليه النقاد واللغويون الغربيون، خاصةً بعد نضج المنهج اللغويالوصفي عندهم، والذي استفاد منه نقدهم أيما استفادة. وقد حا ولت هذه المداخلة مناقشة كيفية تجديد النقدالدبي العربي المعاصر عبر دراسة بعض الاستشهادات النقدية لنقاد عرب معاصرين. وجدت الدراسة أنالمشكلات التي تواجه الناقد العربي، وغير العربي، في محاولاته الإفادة من النقد الغربي، ليست محصورة بالطبعفي المناهج، وإنما هي مواجهة متعددة الجبهات. وهي في كل مظاهرها، سواء اتخذت مظهر الحيرة المنهجية أمالتوظيف غير الدقيق للمصطلحات أم سوء فهم ما يسعى الناقد إلى توظيفه من منهج أو مصطلح أو غيره.الكلمات المفتاحية: قراءة الذات الحداثة مابعد الحداثة المصطلح النقدي إعادة التركيب. – - - -Abstract :This study is based on the essential questions in Arabic contemporary criticism manifested in the issue of methodology and the confusions thereof as the result experimental criticism. It aims to call Arab critics in the East and West to come up with an Arab criticism that is rooted in the historical identity but at the same time adapting the western views on the matter. This is significant due to the maturity of the descriptive linguistic approach in the western world which has a significant influence on their criticism. This study attempts to present a view on how should the Arab criticism be constructed through the views of modern Arab critics. The study found that the challenges faced by the attempt to construct an Arabic criticism by the Arabs or non-Arab are not restricted only to the issue of methodology but cover a number of other issues as well such as methodological ambiguity, inaccurate use of terminologies or misunderstanding and misapplication of methods.Key words: self-reading- modernism- postmodernism- criticism - deconstruction. Abstrak:Kajian ini adalah berdasarkan kepada persoalan penting dalam kritik kontemporer Arab yang terangkum dalam isu metodologi dan kesan kekeliruan yang timbul daripada percubaan-percubaan dalam bidang kritikan sastera. Ia juga adalah bertujuan menyeru semua pengkritik sastera Arab ti timur dan barat untuk cuba mencari landasan untuk sebuah gagasan kritik yang beridentiti Arab yang mencerminkan sejarah serta berupaya menyesuaikan perspektif barat dalam acuannya. Ini adalah penting kerana pendekatan linguistik deskriptif di barat telahpun matang dan mempunyai pengaruh mendalam dalam pemikiran kritikan sastera mereka. Kajian ini mengusulkan cara bagaimana kritikan sastera Arab boleh dibentuk melalui pelbagai pendapat yang telah dilontarkan setakat ini oleh penngkrtik sastera Arab moden. Kajian ini mendapati percubaan membentuk kritik sastera Arab dihambat bukan sahaja oleh masalah metodologi namun turut diburukkan oleh kesan kesamaran penggunaan metod, ketidaktepatan istilah, kesalahfahaman metod dan kelemahan penggunaannya.Katakunci: pembacaan Sendiri- modernism- pos modernism- Kritik -dekonstruksi.

Book Seven of Herodotus’ Histories contains his account of the Persian expedition against Greece led by King Xerxes in 480 BCE. This campaign followed from the one undertaken ten years earlier on the orders of his father, King Darius. That Persian force had landed at Marathon and been defeated by the Athenians in a famous battle that has ever since been considered a victory of European freedom over Oriental despotism. Xerxes, determined to avenge his father's defeat, raised a force reported by Herodotus to be of as many as two and a half million fighting men, only to come up against the 300 Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae. This narrative of these and the subsequent battles of Salamis and Plataea has been well known from its Herodotean source ever since; and the muscle-bound and blood-drenched deeds of the 300 have recently been made famous again by the movie of that name. The more recent sequel to 300 begins with a less accurate account of the Battle of Marathon; and, where the first movie ended with Plataea under way, Rise of an Empire ends with victory at Salamis all but won. Courses in Western or World History are likely to come upon the Persian Wars, and the recent popular movies might serve as an accessible and engaging introduction to these historical events and developments. But Herodotus’ account of how Xerxes came to his decision to invade Greece, with its consideration of politics, rhetoric, and religion, is, if not as thrilling, at least as telling. It tells the standard narrative of the conflict between East and West, and it tells of many ways in which the conflict was more complicated than that. It tells not just how the Greeks and Persians came to fight each other, but who the Greeks and Persians were that they might have fought, or not, but did.

SummaryRecently, there has been a proliferation of international agreements imposing minimum standards on states in respect of their treatment of foreign investors and allowing investors to initiate dispute settlement proceedings where a state violates these standards. Of greatest significance to Canada is Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which provides both standards for state behaviour and the right to initiate binding arbitration. Since 1996, four cases have been brought under Chapter 11. This note describes the Chapter 11 process and suggests some of the issues that may arise as it is increasingly resorted to by investors.

The intestinal roundworm of swine is pinkish in color and about the diameter of a lead pencil. Adult worms, taken from parasitized swine, frequently were observed with macroscopic lesions on their cuticule. Those possessing such lesions were rinsed in distilled water, and cylindrical segments of the affected areas were removed. Some of the segments were fixed in buffered formalin before freeze-drying; others were freeze-dried immediately. Initially, specimens were quenched in liquid freon followed by immersion in liquid nitrogen. They were then placed in ampuoles in a freezer at −45C and sublimated by vacuum until dry. After the specimens appeared dry, the freezer was allowed to come to room temperature slowly while the vacuum was maintained. The dried specimens were attached to metal pegs with conductive silver paint and placed in a vacuum evaporator on a rotating tilting stage. They were then coated by evaporating an alloy of 20% palladium and 80% gold to a thickness of approximately 300 A°. The specimens were examined by secondary electron emmission in a scanning electron microscope.

The fully processed low-carbon electrical steels are generally fabricated through vacuum degassing to reduce the carbon level and to avoid the need for any further decarburization annealing treatment. This investigation was conducted on eighteen heats of such steels with aluminum content ranging from 0.001% to 0.011% which was believed to come from the addition of ferroalloys.The sizes of all the observed grains are less than 24 μm, and gradually decrease as the content of aluminum is increased from 0.001% to 0.007%. For steels with residual aluminum greater than 0. 007%, the average grain size becomes constant and is about 8.8 μm as shown in Fig. 1. When the aluminum is increased, the observed grains are changed from the uniformly coarse and equiaxial shape to the fine size in the region near surfaces and the elongated shape in the central region. SEM and EDAX analysis of large spherical inclusions in the matrix indicate that silicate is the majority compound when the aluminum propotion is less than 0.003%, then the content of aluminum in compound inclusion increases with that in steel.
