The study dealt with the issue of teaching Arabic calligraphy skills using technology with the aim of making a decision towards including them in the Arabic language courses, and to achieve the goal of the study, the two researchers used the descriptive survey method and an electronic questionnaire was designed to refer to the study population consisting of all teachers, teachers, supervisors and Arabic language supervisors who specialize in teaching them in the universities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Participants in the referendum (400) individuals, then the opinions were treated statistically using percentages, and the percentage of supporters and opponents limited its teaching and the reasons for each team. The result appeared in favor of the opponents by 85.4%, and among the most important reasons for the opposition is that the teaching of calligraphy is a basic written skill that must be studied and practiced in a real, tangible, real way that must be taught by hand and the student’s training in it in order to acquire the skill and develop away from technology, and the percentage of supporters was 14.6% and one of the most important reasons for their support The student’s use of the computer is a modern skill that the student needs a lot. So I think the time has come to take advantage of the long training time on the skills of beauty and speed in training the student to use the keyboard quickly, and teach him from the location of choosing fonts, and perhaps it will evolve to his teaching using Arabic script in the letter And other skills.

Abstract The Arabic language is the common official language for the Arab nation, and one of the most important components of its identity, and it is also the link that connects the past of the Arabs with their present and their future, as it recorded the historical changes of the Arab nation over the course of the development extending for more than 1,600 years, and embodied its characteristics and preserved its culture and civilization through time. Arabic is one of the oldest foreign languages taught in China, and it played a pivotal role in promoting exchanges between China and Arab countries in various fields, politically, economically and culturally. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Arabic language teaching in Chinese universities achieved a remarkable development under the enlightened educational guidance, and succeeded in preparing batches of distinguished people who contributed and are contributing to the development of relations between Arab countries and China. After entering the 21st century and with the establishment of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum and the consolidation of Sino-Arab strategic cooperation relations, especially with the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative and the concept of “One Community with a Shared Future for Mankind”, the cooperation relations between China and the Arab countries have reached a new threshold on various levels. Simultaneously, Arabic teaching in Chinese universities has entered the path of rapid development and achieved unparalleled remarkable results.

This article deals with the problems of the formation and functioning of modern terminology in the countries of the Arab East. It is important to trace the factors that influenced the process of forming its lexical composition. Following the national liberation movement of the Arab countries, starting from the second half of the 20th century has repeatedly raised the issue of the ofcial status of the Arabic language at the regional and global levels. The nationalization of education was a fundamental principle of the language of the Arab countries’ policies. It was about switching the entire national education system to Arabic, and the introduction of classical language as everyday communication.The transformation of the political situation in the Arab region was accompanied by the systematic repression of the colonial language, lexical enrichment of the composition of the modern literary language, the development of a national terminology. The rapid growth of science and technology has led to the emergence in the Arabic of many new concepts and intensive borrowing of foreign language terms. The task was to provide the new content in education that meets the needs of the world’s scientifc and technological progress. In the process of adaptation, foreign-language terms are adapted to the conditions of functioning of the Arabic language. The sociolinguistics approach to the study of Arabic terminology has allowed us to identify the main trends of its development.

ObjectivesHealth literacy research in Palestine is limited, and a locally validated tool for use among adolescents has been unavailable until now. Therefore, this study aimed to adapt health literacy assessment scale for adolescents (HAS-A) into Arabic language (HAS-A-AR) and Palestinian context and to investigate its psychometric properties.DesignWe conducted a cross-sectional household survey using a stratified random sample and household face-to-face interviews.Setting and participantsWe conducted 1200 interviews with sixth to ninth graders in the Ramallah and al-Bireh district of the West Bank, Palestine in 2017.MethodsWe translated and adapted HAS-A to be sensitive to the Palestinian context and tested its psychometric properties. We evaluated face and content validity during the back-translation process and checked for construct validity through exploratory factor analysis (EFA). We tested for internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha, MacDonald’s omega test and the greatest lower bound (GLB). Furthermore, we calculated the scale’s average inter-item correlation.ResultsEFA revealed that HAS-A-AR has a similar structure to the original HAS-A. It extracted three factors (communication, confusion and functional health literacy) whose eigenvalues were >1. Together they explained 57% of the total variance. The proportions of adolescents with high levels of communication, confusion and functional health literacy were 45%, 68% and 80%, respectively. Cronbach’s alpha, MacDonald’s omega and the GLB values for communication subscale were 0.87, 0.88 and 0.90, and they were 0.78, 0.77 and 0.79 for confusion subscale, while they were 0.77, 0.77 and 0.80, respectively, for functional healthy literacy subscale. The average inter-item correlation for the subscales ranged between 0.36 and 0.59.ConclusionHAS-A-AR is a valid and reliable health literacy measuring instrument with appropriate psychometric properties. HAS-A-AR is currently available for use among adolescents in Palestine and the surrounding Arab countries with similar characteristics as Palestine, including language, culture and political instability.

Purpose Young children, often called as teenagers (13-14 years) and tweenaged (8-12 years), are the new potential game changers for the big corporate. This paper aims to analyze Arab children’s influence for various products and services and across different buying process stages. The primary survey was conducted to capture a child’s role in family decision-making by analyzing their consumer socialization, influencing strategies and their influence across various products and buying stages. Design/methodology/approach Based on the review and the research gap, a bilingual questionnaire in English and Arabic language was developed. The research study was organized in three stages. It commenced with a pilot study conducted with ten school students in the age group of 8-10 years. The second stage involved contact with the schools by telephone to brief them on the purpose of the study and to request the participation of their students. The last stage was based on the survey conducted in the time period of September-November 2016-17. Findings Almost 25 per cent of the children surveyed prefer to buy stationary and books after discussing with their parents. On the other hand, food/beverage is one particular item where children go ahead and buy theses item themselves even without discussing with their parents (42.50 per cent of the total respondents). As per children’s perception, they are most influential in the final decision stage (mean = 1.84 and SD = 0.499), followed by search and evaluation stage (mean = 1.80 and SD = 0.441) and start stage (mean = 1.79 and SD = 0.488). Research limitations/implications Further research is needed in Arab countries, especially with parents of different social status, as their shopping behaviour is expected to differ. Also, as this analysis is based on child’s perception, parents’ views must also be analyzed for better results. Practical implications The is the first-of-its-kind research in the Gulf region. This empirical research highlights the need for global marketers to understand the distinct features and identity of a young Arab consumer. Despite Oman being a very traditional culture which emphasizes on conformity to group norms and social acceptance and hence confirms to collectivistic culture, where kids are supposed to be obedient, there is this new wave of super energetic, more informed young kids who take their own consumer decisions. Originality/value After going through the extensive literature review of different countries/cultures, there has been very clear understanding that despite being an important family member, almost no research has been focussed on kids in gulf nations.

The Departments of Arabic are established in universities with the aim of raising the standard of Arabic Studies in higher institutions and with the objective of researching into the problems of Arabic language and literature in order to find solutions to them. The purpose of this article is to assess the current state of Arabic in Nigeria and examine the contributions of the Departments of Arabic in Nigerian universities to the spread and development of Arabic, its pedagogy, its challenges, its curriculum development as well as the problems and prospects of the Departments. Structurally, the paper is divided into four sections. While the first section discussed the growth and development of Arabic learning in the Departments of Arabic in Nigerian universities, the second section examined the achievements of the Departments. The third section was devoted to the investigation of the problems that face the Departments while proffering solutions to them. The fourth and last section concluded the study.  The study found that the Departments of Arabic has contributed immensely to raising the standard of Arabic and its culture in Nigeria through its curricula did not accommodate the needs of the present time. The paper suggested, among other things, that Arabic curricula should be updated to cater for the needs of the present time. It also recommended that universities in Arab countries should endeavor to have Academic Linkages and Educational Collaborations with Nigerian universities as well as with other universities in non-Arab countries in order to facilitate student and staff exchange, research and resource sharing and thereby enhance, promote and deepen the theory and practice of Arabic Studies as crucial academic discipline in the community of world universities and global knowledge economy.

Arabic is one of the main languages in the world and rich with cultural heritage. Arabic has a strong influence in literature and even in media. According to Ulama or Scholars, Arabic language is the most proper language which can explains a wider meaning with lafaz{ or simple word. The formation of a word can refer to several meanings. The Arabic vocabulary covers all fields. In its development, the Arabic language has borrowed many vocabularies from other languages, however, Arabic has also contributed a great deal to Eastern and Western languages. This can be found on the words which are in the Arabic dictionary. Theory of language that became the foundation of this research can help the writer in choosing the right concept to analyze the object of this research. Moreover, in this research, the writer will use a morph semantics concept which combines morphological and semantic concept. Morph semantic can be interpreted as a branch of linguistics that identifies grammatical units and their meanings. This research uses descriptive-analytical method, a research method that try to describe and interpret object with what it is. The study uses a qualitative approach, namely analytical procedures that produce descriptive data in the form of words written or spoken of the person or behavior that can be observed. The resultof this study indicates that; (1) Fi'l ma>d}i> in the dictionary does not undergo all changes according to the existing rhymes, only a few can experience the form of the fi'l ma>d{i> to mazi>d.

Abstract Background The principle of initial value (Wilder's law of initial value) proposes that the “direction of response of body function to any agent depends to a large degree on the initial value of that function”. Indeed, in several trials on renal denervation (RDN), pre-treatment blood pressure (BP) has been consistently and repeatedly found to predict the decrease in BP after RDN. Efforts to discover further statistically significant and clinically meaningful predictors of BP response to RDN failed. Objective By use of a new methodological approach, we aimed to determine predictors of BP response after RDN in patients with resistant hypertension. Methods The study population comprised 266 patients with resistant hypertension (mean age 62 years, 34% females, mean BMI 30.5 kg/m2, 27% had coronary heart disease, 42% had diabetes mellitus and 61% had hypercholesterolaemia) who underwent radiofrequency RDN with the Symplicity catheter at the Universities of Homburg and Erlangen. Clinical data including 24h ambulatory BP (ABP) were obtained prior to, and 3, 6 and 12 months after RDN. The primary parameter of response was defined as change in 24-hour systolic ABP after 6 months from pre-treatment values. As expected, change in 24h systolic ABP correlated with pre-treatment 24h systolic ABP (r2 linear = 0.225, p<0.001), with change in 24h systolic ABP = 73.82 + 0.55 x pre-treatment 24h systolic ABP. To overcome the predominant role of the pre-treatment BP that may mask other factors, we calculated for each individual patient the “expected systolic ABP decrease” by applying this regression equation and the “excessive systolic ABP decrease” by subtracting the measured from expected change in 24h systolic ABP. We divided the study population into 2 groups (above [responders] and below [non-responders] of the median change in excessive 24h systolic ABP. Results Neither pre-treatment 24h systolic or diastolic ABP, nor office systolic or diastolic BP differed between the two groups (all p>0.20). Following RDN, 24h systolic ABP decreased in the responders by −23.3±16 vs non-responders +1.4±11 mmHg at 6 month, and 24h systolic ABP values were also significantly lower in responders at 3 and 12 months (all p<0.001), without difference in number of antihypertensive drugs between the groups. Of all clinical variables at baseline, office heart rate (65.6 vs 68.7±12 bpm, p=0.024) and HbA1c (6.07±0.88 vs. 6.37±1.23%, p=0.035) were lower in responders compared with non-responders. Finally, a multiple regression analysis confirmed that pre-treatment 24h systolic ABP (beta +0.565, p<0001), HbA1c (beta −0.167, p=0.004) and office HR (beta +0.106, p=0.057) were independent predictors of decrease in 24h systolic ABP. Conclusion In patients with resistant hypertension, lower HbA1c and office HR were identified as predictors of BP response in addition to pre-treatment BP. This finding may help to identify hypertensive patients who benefit most from RDN. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: Other.
