Surveying women's literature over the past two centuries, gynocriticism I has found, perhaps to our surprise, that one of the recurrent themes in the writings of both Third World and Western women has been madness. Time and again , women authors from different periods and literary traditions, with diverse cultural,ideological and epistemic affiliations and commitments, bring out this theme to demonstrate emphatically and unequivocally how the symptoms of psychologicaldisfunctionality, together with definitions of madness, are culture-produced and bound, the products of a virulently hierarchical and patriarchal symbolic order.

This chapter demonstrates how the media representation of immigration in France is at odds with the recent production of literary works by French authors of Maghrebi origins. Referring to novels by Faïza Guène (Les gens du Balto), Saphia Azzeddine (La Mecque-Phuket), and Nadia Bouzid (Quand Beretta est morte), it shows how the concerns of the “first” and “second” generation of immigrants are a thing of the past, as these writers choose to deconstruct the usual discourse about Maghrebi-French people, inscribe their narrative in different literary traditions, and assert their place in Literature.

ملخص البحث:كان الاتجاه الإسلامي في الأدب ثالث أهم الاتجاهات التي تجاذبت الأدب، وخاصة في مجال القصة والرواية. و كان جل كتاب القصة الأوائل ذوي نكهة إسلامية إصلاحية، ومن هؤلاء نذير أحمد وسرشار وعبد الحليم شرر الذي كان له تأثير كبير في أهم الروائيين الإسلاميين في باكستان، وهو نسيم حجازي الذي تميز كأستاذه بالروايات التاريخية. وهذا النوع من الروايات هو الذي ميز الروائيين الإسلاميين أكثر من أي نوع آخر من الروايات، ومع ذلك كتب نسيم حجازي روايات واقعية ذات مستوى عالمي، وِمن أهم هذه الروايات الواقعية روايته "خاك أور خون" ومعناها: التراب والدم. وهذه الرواية كغيرها من الروايات الباكستانية التي كتبت بعد قيام باكستان عام 1947م تناولت موضوع الهجرة الكبرى والمشاكل التي نجمت عنها، فكانت محاولة نسيم حجازي والآخرين لتذكير المسلمين بما فعله الهندوس والسيخ في رجالهم ونسائهم وأطفالهم وشيوخهم، لذا فإن هذه الرواية ممنوعة من التداول في الهند التي لا تفتؤ تحاول القضاء على كل ما له علاقة بالإسلام، وما جريمة هدم المسجد البابري عنا ببعيد! ويقال عن رواية التراب والدم إنها سيرة كاتبها الذاتية، حيث أودعها أفكاره وآراءه ومواقفه من القضايا المختلفة، وقد انطلق في كل ذلك من منطلق إسلامي واضح، فأحيا بها –أي بهذا الرواية- كثيراً من المعاني الإسلامية التي كادت تغيب عن الساحة الأدبية اليوم، فهي بحق رواية إسلامية عالمية تستحق الدراسة والتحليل.الكلمات المفتاحية: الأدب الإسلامي-الأدب الأردي-رواية "خاك أور خون-المحتوى-روائع الأدب الإسلامي. Abstract:The trend of Islamic literature in the third world is the most important trends studied literature, in the area of the story and the novel.

However, Nasiim Hijazi wrote realistic novels in international level, the most important of which is “Khac or Khun” (the dust and blood). This novel, like other novels of Pakistan, was written after the establishment of Pakistan in 1947 and deals with The Great Migration and the problems that caused it. It was an attempt from Nasiim Hijazi and others to remind Muslims what the Hindus and Sikhs did with the Muslims. This novel was banned from trading in India that was trying to eliminate everything has relation Islamic. The crime of destroying the Babri mosque is not far away from the event.  It is said that the novel is as  a biography of  the author, where he includes  his ideas, his views and viewpoints from various issues, where his assumption was from an Islamic perspective, to  revive - through this novel - a lot of Islamic meanings which  are almost absent from the literary study nowadays .

Novel ini sama seperti novel-novel lain di Pakistan yang menceritakan tentang kisah penghijrahan secara besar-besaran dan faktor-faktornya selepas penubuhan Pakistan pada tahun 1947.

Modern American novel appears to be a type of novelistic prose, in which with the help of specific literary approach from the standpoint of conscious historicism the events with a real historical basis are recreated and discussed in the light of historical perspective. This idea is practically embodied in the novel "The Goldfinch" by D. Tartt, whose author experiments with the genre features of the novel, constructing within its boundaries her own modification using the method of reconstruction. The novel "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt has fragmented structure and numerous elements of the plot that resonate, reflecting each other and at the same time imitating the literary models of novels by Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Joanne Rowling. Engaging in a dialogue with predecessors through the deliberate use of literary techniques, creating the effects of intertextuality (borrowing and recycling of themes, explicit and implicit quotations, translations, plagiarism, allusion, paraphrase, imitation, parody, dramatization, the use of epigraphs, reminiscence), D. Tartt rewrites the authors’ life-style models and literary traditions according to her own worldview, preserving the most important and instantly recognizable in the prose if each artist. Here it is expedient to speak of the hermeneutical aspect of reconstruction, which seeks to reproduce the true meaning of the realities of the past and the present, by reproducing the situation of their occurrence. By introduction into the contemporary discourse certain elements and ideas of the previous cultures, a kind of dialogue space between the past and the present is created. Thus, the modern American novel attempts to revive some of the former literary codes, as well as to rework some of the artistic conventions of the past. The balance of historical perspective, the equilibrium of the past and the present in the new novel is achieved through the organic synthesis of contemporary postmodern and traditional realist strategies.

The Hydraulic Laboratory of Liège University, Belgium, is historically considered from its foundation in 1937 to the mid-1960s. The technical facilities of the various Buildings are highlighted, along with canals and instrumentation available. It is noted that in its initial era, comparatively few basic research has been conducted, mainly due to the professional background of the professors leading the establishment. This state was improved in the past 50 years, however, particularly since the Laboratory was dislocated to its current position in the novel University Campus. Biographies of the leading persons associated with the Liège Hydraulic Laboratory are also presented, so that a comprehensive picture is given of one of the currently leading hydraulic Laboratories of Europe.

Allusions to other texts abound in John McGahern's fiction. His works repeatedly, though diffidently, refer to literary tradition. Yet the nature of such allusiveness is still unclear. This article focuses on how allusion in The Pornographer (1979) is depicted as an intellectual and social practice, embodying particular attitudes towards the function of texts and the knowledge they represent. Moreover, the critique of the practice of allusion that the novel undertakes is shown to have broader significance in terms of McGahern's whole oeuvre and its evolving attempts to salvage something of present value from the literature of the past.

Oral route is presently the gold standard in the pharmaceutical industry where it is regarded as the safest, most economical and most convenient method of drug delivery resulting in highest patient compliance. Over the past three decades, orally disintegrating tablets (FDTs) have gained considerable attention due to patient compliance. Usually, elderly people experience difficulty in swallowing the conventional dosage forms like tablets, capsules, solutions and suspensions because of tremors of extremities and dysphagia. In some cases such as motion sickness, sudden episodes of allergic attack or coughing, and an unavailability of water, swallowing conventional tablets may be difficult. One such problem can be solved in the novel drug delivery system by formulating “Fast dissolving tablets” (FDTs) which disintegrates or dissolves rapidly without water within few seconds in the mouth due to the action of superdisintegrant or maximizing pore structure in the formulation. The review describes the various formulation aspects, superdisintegrants employed and technologies developed for FDTs, along with various excipients, evaluation tests, marketed formulation and drugs used in this research area.

Background: Oleanolic Acid (OA) is a ubiquitous product of triterpenoid compounds. Due to its inexpensive availability, unique bioactivities, pharmacological effects and non-toxic properties, OA has attracted tremendous interest in the field of drug design and synthesis. Furthermore, many OA derivatives have been developed for ameliorating the poor water solubility and bioavailability. Objective: Over the past few decades, various modifications of the OA framework structure have led to the observation of enhancement in bioactivity. Herein, we focused on the synthesis and medicinal performance of OA derivatives modified on A-ring. Moreover, we clarified the relationship between structures and activities of OA derivatives with different functional groups in A-ring. The future application of OA in the field of drug design and development also was discussed and inferred. Conclusion: This review concluded the novel achievements that could add paramount information to the further study of OA-based drugs.
