Careful Observation

The notes kept during the pilgrimage journeys and the observations, impressions and determinations of the authors provided the formation of the type called pilgrimage travelnames. Many examples of this species have been written both in and outside the Anatolian area. Tatar Turks are one of the societies in which writing works with pilgrimage content outside Anatolia has turned into a literary tradition. In this study, the Haj Seyâhatnâma of Musa Jarullah, a Tatar thinker, will be discussed. The manuscript is registered at 06 Mil Yz A 5924 in the National Library Manuscripts Collection. Seyâhatnâma is located on the sheets 1a-28a of a notebook, all of which are 66 sheets. The countries and events on the route are presented with careful observation in the sea route. In the work, many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, England, Russia, India, China, especially Turkey; important figures such as Ataturk, Ibn Saud, Muhammed Asadullah, Karim Khakimov, Ferdinand de Lesseps; important observations about the Suez Canal, the Istanbul Strait, the Maghrib Strait and the Cenup Strait and the holy lands are included.

Gamal Abdel Nasser

In 2011 Egypt witnessed more protests than any other country in the world, kicking off a revolutionary process that would unfold in three waves of revolution, followed by two waves of counterrevolution. This chapter briefly contrasts the period of Gamal Abdel Nasser to the recent wave of upheaval. Nasser and the Free Officers implemented wide-ranging reforms by overthrowing the monarchy, declaring a republic, implementing land reform, expropriating the Suez Canal, expelling British troops from Egypt, and joining the nonaligned movement in efforts to move away from the colonial past. In so doing they turned a coup into a “revolution from above.” By contrast, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has not implemented any major reforms. His actions have led to the reconstitution of the old Mubarak regime, but with even greater authoritarianism aimed to crush any entity that is seen as independent of the regime. Instead of setting Egypt on a path of greater economic independence, Egypt’s reliance on foreign donors has grown, with increased financial flows from the Gulf. As a crude form of “payback” for this financial support, Egypt handed over the Tiran and Sanafir islands to Saudi Arabia.

Paul Groussac’s Void: The French Writer and the Argentine Tradition

The Many

The French-Argentine Paul Groussac embodied a wide range of writerly functions and cultural-political positions within the Argentine cultural field between the 1880s and the 1920s: writer, playwright, chronicler, traveler, literary, art, and music critic, historian, educator, editor, and director of the National Library during 44 years. This essay considers his place in the history of Argentine literature looking at two of the many ways in which he inscribed himself in it. The first takes up the production and reproduction of the ontological privilege of French identity as a form of legitimization for his public—and often polemic—interventions, through which he sought to establish scholarly-disciplinary practices, protocols, and conventions that would articulate an entire critical field around his own authority. The second proposes to think his alternatively weak and strong inscriptions in the literary tradition through his own narrative production: his fiction and dramaturgy, travelogues, and biographical sketches. In other words, this essay situates Groussac in an Argentine literary tradition (conceived as an organic and institutionally sanctioned textual corpus) he believed to have founded and established, a selfrepresentation that led Borges to say that Groussac saw himself as “a missionary of Voltaire among the mulattage.”

Significance Instability has worsened significantly in Yemen since the Huthi 'coup' against President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi in January. His government has been forced into exile; the Huthis have fought pitched battles with local opponents for control of the southern port city of Aden; Saudi Arabia has led an intensive campaign of airstrikes and imposed a naval blockade of major seaports; and al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has expanded in the south east. Located next to some of the world's most important shipping routes, Yemen's crisis could have significant ramifications on regional maritime security and world trade. Impacts Maritime domain awareness in the Gulf of Aden and southern stretches of the Red Sea could be significantly reduced. Risk of accidents between Iranian and Saudi coalition vessels has increased, but a more serious confrontation is unlikely. US, European and regional navies will mobilise to protect the viability of the Suez Canal maritime corridor.

CouncilAt a meeting in Cairo in June 1954, attended only by diplomatic representatives in Cairo of the League's member states, the Arab League Council approved a Pakistani proposal to hold an Arab-Islamic conference in Jerusalem. A number of appointments of League officials were made at the session, which also decided to contribute financially to the establishment of a religious institute in the Gaza Strip. The 22d session of the Council opened in Cairo on October 30, under the chairmanship of Shaykh Ibrahim al-Fadl (Saudi Arabia). A resolution was passed congratulating Egypt on the signing of the Anglo-Egyptian agreement on the Suez Canal Zone. According to press reports, it was decided at a further session of the Council to form an Arab mutual defense pact, to defend Arab states against “foreign aggression”. The pact would be a development of the present Arab collective security pact. It had also been decided, according to the press, to let Arab governments deal as they wished with United States offers of military and economic aid.

Objectives: Clinical trial productivity has not been investigated in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, including Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait. We aim to assess the productivity of clinical trials conducted in the GCC region. Specifically, we aim to estimate the number of clinical trials conducted and estimate the proportion of clinical trials conducted in the GCC countries published in peer-reviewed journals. Methods: The clinical trials registry of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) was searched for clinical trials conducted from January 2000 to October 2019. The productivity was assessed by the publication status of the trials in the registry and through the search in Medline indexed journals. Results: A total of 682 trials were found from the GCC region, with an overall trend of 4.1 trials each year. However, the clinical trial productivity from our area contributes to only 0.37% of the trials globally. When comparing the raw data, Saudi Arabia shows the highest proportion by contributing 66.6% of the clinical trials from the region (p < 0.001). Oman contributed 3.5 %. After normalization to population, Qatar shows to be the highest with 42.78 trials per million. A total of 238 trials were conducted before 2016, of which 46.6% were published. Conclusion: Saudi Arabia is the leading country in clinical trial productivity in the GCC region. Countries should utilize the triple helix model to a partnership with industry and improve their contribution to science.

scholarly journals Acid-resistant Cretaceous thecamoebian tests from the Arabian Peninsula: a suggestion for study of agglutinated rhizopods in palynological slides

Abstract. Rare specimens of Centropyxis aculeata (Ehrenberg, 1832), cf. Difflugia oblonga (Ehrenberg, 1832), Amphitrema flavum (Archer, 1869) and an unidentified spherical form (similar to a protozoan ‘cyst’ in van Hengstum et al., 2007) were observed in the palynological preparations of cutting samples from a drill-hole in southern Saudi Arabia. These thecamoebians were found in Cretaceous formations in association with typical Cretaceous spore, pollen and dinoflagellate cysts. Since the youngest rock formation in this drill-hole is of Cretaceous age, contamination due to caving from post-Cretaceous sediments is thus ruled out. Although the oldest record of thecamoebians comes from Neoproterozoic strata, their pre-Holocene occurrences are rare and patchy. Since many thecamoebian tests are autogenous and are made of acid-resistant proteinaceous material, they occur in the palynological preparations of fossil sediments. It is suggested that careful observation and search for thecamoebians in palynological slides could potentially lead to new discoveries of these microfossils from Phanerozoic sediments from all over the world.
