Beam-column joints (BCJs) are recognized among the most crucial zones in reinforced concrete structures, as they are the critical elements subjected to a complex state of forces during a severe earthquake. Under such conditions, BCJs exhibit behaviors with impacts that extend to the whole structure and significantly influence its ductility and capability of dissipating energy. The focus of this paper is to investigate the effect of undamaged transverse beam (secondary beams) on the ductility of concrete BCJs reinforced with conventional steel and shape memory alloys bars using pushover analysis at tip of beam under different axial load levels at the column using a nonlinear finite element model in ABAQUS environment. A numerical model of a BCJ was constructed and the analysis outcomes were verified by comparing them to those obtained from previous experiments found in the literature. The comparison evidenced the capability of the calibrated model to predict the load capacity response of the joint. Results proved the ability of undamaged secondary beams to provide a noticeable improvement to the ductility of reinforced concrete joints, with a very negligible loss in load capacity. However, the effect of secondary beams can become less significant if the beams are damaged due to seismic effects. In addition, the axial load was found to significantly enhance the performance of BCJs, where the increase in axial load magnified the capacity of the joint. However, higher values of axial load resulted in greater initial stiffness of the BCJ.

This study examines the relationship between board gender diversity and financial performance. The annual data of Palestinian nonfinancial listed enterprises from 2015 to 2019 was analyzed using a longitudinal panel analysis for the study's purposes. When conditional mean regression methodologies were used in the study, the results indicate that there is an insignificant relation between board gender diversity and firm financial performance. However, when analyzing women directors' effect on a firm's financial performance, endogeneity is always a concern, therefore, we test for endogeneity by employing the Darbin-Wu Housman test and then by using 2SLS. Nevertheless, when looking at the dispersion of a firm's performance using quantile regression, the results show that having women on the board improves financial performance slightly, especially for high-financial-performing firms. The findings indicate that there is a legal significant gap hindering the protection of gender diversity in boardrooms, and limiting the existence and representation of women in leadership positions, specifically, board of directors. The results of this study contribute to corporate governance and business culture literature by shedding the light on the importance of board gender diversity, to improve the firm financial performance, and hence, protect the interests of all shareholders' categories.

Le Proche-Orient est le pays de la Bible, Le peuple He breu ancien, appartenant la race des S mits s mi-nomades, est venu avec Abraham, de m sopotamie en Palestine, terre de Canaan. Nous avons consid r les v tements du peuple des anciens H breux en nous basant sur la Bible et en observant des peintures murales et des bas-reliefs des divers payes de l'ancienne poque, Pour comprendre l' volution des v tements des gens de la pr sente r gion palestinienne, nous avons tudi les v tements traditionnels de la race b douine qui m nent jusqu' maintenant une vie nomade dans le m nent jusqu' maintenant une vie nomade dans le d sert, parce que nous n'avons pas pu connaitre le processus d' volution des v tements apr s l'ancienne poque la suite d' v nements historiques compliques. En conclusion, nous pouvons nous r sumer comme suit: 1) Nous pensons que la kimlah, costume important du peuple h breu ancien est devenu abajeh, manteau des B douins, puisque ces v tements servent prot ger le corps lors des changments de temps, et la nuit on les utilise comme couverture et comme sac pour y mettre des objets, et comme tente lors su travail. en un mot, les fonctions de la Simlah et celles de l'abajeh sont les memes l' poque ancienne et maintenant. 2) Nous pensons que la forme et l'utilisation de la Kethoneth ayant une forme de tunique et de la thob des B douins sont presque semblable. La kethoneth et la thob sont la tuniqu importante que portent jusqu' maintenant tous les peuples du Proche-Orient. 3) Comme on le voit dans la Bible, les femmes du peuple h breu et celles des B douins utilisent le voile pour couvrir la e te, et se servent d'accessoires pour d corer leur corps. A l'avenir, les vVtements des Palestiniens, dans une recherche pous approfondie, feront l'objet de a 2 me partie de l' tude des costumes du Proche-Orient.

During the spring season of 2014, a total of 148 melon and watermelon leaf samples were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic plants in the western and southwestern regions of Saudi Arabia and were tested for the presence of Watermelon chlorotic stunt virus (WmCSV) and other suspected cucurbit viruses by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Ninety-eight samples were found to be positive for the presence of WmCSV, nine samples were positive for the presence of Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV), and 22 showed a mixed infection with both WmCSV and CYSDV. No other cucurbit viruses were detected in any of the samples. Host range experiments revealed that eight out of fourteen tested plant species were susceptible to WmCSV. PCR products of approximately 1.2 kb were obtained after amplification using primers specifically targeting the coat protein region of WmCSV. Positive PCR results were confirmed by dot blot hybridization. Coat protein gene sequences from eleven WmCSV isolates indicated that the highest identity was between the 104WMA-SA isolate from the Wadi Baish location and a previously reported isolate from the AL-Lith location in Saudi Arabia. The lowest identity was observed between the 42WMA-SA isolate and an isolate from Palestine.

본 논문의 목적은 이스라엘의 정보활동이 정체성 즉 국민들의 자의식의 형성과 변화, 그리고 국가건설 과정에서 미친 영향력을 분석하는데 있다. 19세기말 유대인들은 역사의 희생자 이미지를 공유하고 있었으며 이들에 대한 박해는 정치적, 신앙적 공동체인 독립국가 이스라엘 건설을 추동하는 요인이 되었다. 당시 이스라엘의 정보요원들은 유대인들을 팔레스타인으로 이주시키는 한편, 아랍인들과 투쟁하면서 국가건설에 매진했다. 다시 말해서, 정보활동은 유대인들의 국가건설을 위한 민족주의인 시오니즘을 구현하는 수단인 셈이다. 1948년 독립이후에도 정보기관은 아랍 국가들의 방해에도 불구하고, 미국과 소련 등 국가들과 협상을 통해 UN에서 공식적으로 국가승인을 획득하는데 큰 역할을 담당하였다. 그럼에도 이스라엘은 아랍 국가들로부터 '사라져야할 국가'로 인식되면서 국가정체성이 부인되었다. 이후 4차례에 걸친 전쟁에서 승리와 이집트와 정상회담을 통해 비로소 국가성을 인정받게 되었다. 이스라엘은 이를 성서상의 '약속의 땅'의 회복이라는 예언의 성취로 이해하며 승리자로서의 정체성을 공유하게 되었다. 결론적으로 이스라엘에서 정보활동은 국가의 독립과 건설, 그리고 국민들의 자의식의 형성과 변화를 유발한 기제였다.

본 논문은 로버트 하조의 1993년 논문을 바탕으로 중동지역에서의 평화와 갈등의 과정을 분석 하였다. 중동지역에서는 이스라엘과 연관된 수많은 무력적 충돌 가능성이 상존하고 있는 지역이다. 특히 로버트 하조의 분석처럼 팔레스타인과 시리아, 그리고 이스라엘 간의 관계는 중동 문제의 핵심이라고 볼 수 있다. 그가 지적한 이 두가지 문제는 우리가 그간 간과해왔던, 혹은 전체적으로 중동문제를 일괄적으로 다루어왔던 결과이다. 아랍 이스라엘 분쟁은 역사상 가장 다루기 힘든 분쟁 중 하나이다. 이에 관련하여 로버트 하조의 분석은 여러면에서 시사하는 바가 크다고 볼 수 있다. 먼저 1993년 로버트 하조는 '이 분쟁은 끝나지 않는 투쟁이다.' 라고 결론 내렸다. 본 논문에서는 진전, 혹은 개입 기간 부족이라는 관점에서, 그리고 현 시대의 전략적 환경에 대항하는 방식으로서 그의 분석을 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 여러 가지 실증적 문헌연구를 통해 하조의 평가가 유효하다는 것을 증빙해 보려고 한다. 1993년부터 미국, 이스라엘, 그리고 시리아가 희망적인 합의를 이끌어 낼 수 있다는 잠재적인 시각이 다양한 논의들과 결합되어 진행된 가운데, 난민들에 대한 귀환의 권리, 국경문제, 그리고 예루살렘에 대한 논쟁은 가까운 미래에는 제기되지 않을 것으로 보인다.

지난, 2021년 5월 이스라엘과 팔레스타인 사이에서 대규모 분쟁이 발생했다. 분쟁 시작 14일 만에 이스라엘군(Israeli Defense Forces, IDF)의 전승으로 양측간의 휴전이 조인되었다. 이처럼 IDF가 최단기간 내 최소 피해로 분쟁을 승리로 이끌 수 있었던 이유 중 하나가 바로 IDF 내 여성 인력의 활약이 켰기 때문이다. 또한, 현재 IDF에서 여성 인력은 33%에 달하고, 여성의 강점을 활용할 수 있는 분야에서 남성 인력과 융합하여 다양한 임무를 수행하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에는 IDF가 경험한 사례를 통해 우리나라 병역자원 부족이라는 미래 도전을 극복하는 실마리를 찾을 수 있을 것이다.

Arabic skills are the tools by which children are prepared for the educational procedures on which their life depends. Deaf and hard of hearing students (DHH), must be able to grasp the same Arabic terms as hearing students and their different meanings in a context of different sentences less than what they are supposed to be due to their inability. However, problems arise in the same Arabic word and their different meanings in a context for (DHH) students since the way of comprehending such words does not meet the needs and circumstances of (DHH) students. Therefore, researchers introduce web-based method for Arabic words and their meanings in a context prototype that can overcome those problems. Methodology: The study sample consists of 30 (DHH) students at Al Amal City of Palestine, Gaza Region (GR). Those participants that agreed to take part in this study were recruited using a purposeful sampling method. Additionally, to examine the survey information descriptively, the Statistical Packages for social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 was used. A sign language teaching movie is utilized in the prototype to standardize the process and verify that Arabic vocabulary and their implications are comprehended. The Evolutionary Process Model of Prototype technique was utilized to create this system. Finding: The findings of this study show that the prototype built is workable and has the ability to help DHHS differentiate between phrases that have the same letters but distinct meanings. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to a better understanding and application of Development of Web-based Arabic Assessments for (DHH) Students in developing countries, which will help to increase the use of Development of Web-based Arabic for (HDD) students in those countries. The empirical models of Web-based Arabic for (DHH) students are established as a proof of concept for the proposed model. The results of this study are predicted to have a significant impact to the information system practitioners and to the body of knowledge.

최근에 전자문화지도에 대한 관심이 늘어나면서 다양한 주제를 기반으로 한 전자문화지도들이 연구되고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 기존의 전자문화지도들은 대부분 단일 주제로 제작되므로 주제들 간의 연관성 분석이 어렵고, 해당 주제들이 서로 연계되어 있지 않아 다양한 관점을 기반으로 한 활용이 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 전자문화지도에 레이어 기능을 활용하여 다양한 주제들을 표현하는 방안을 제시한다. 또한, 전자문화지도에서의 주제별 중첩 기능을 활용하여 주제들 간의 연계 관계를 효율적으로 파악하고 다양한 주제들의 연관 관계를 통해 새로운 지식을 도출해 낼 수 있는 활용 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Varieties of the cereals produced in the Biblical times and the ways these cereal foods have been grafted into Korean food culture has been pursued, and the regulations of agricultural life and the metaphors or parables of cereals represented throughout the Bible have been studied. The word "grain" appears eight times in the KJV and one hundred seventeen times in the RSV. On the other hand, the word "corn" shows up one hundred and one times in the KJV but not in the RSV at all. Wheat, one of the earliest cultivated and the most important grains for food is mentioned fifty two times in KJV and generally the rich in those days lived on wheat in the parched state or in the form of bread. Barley, one of the staple cereal crops of Palestine is referred to thirty six times in the KJV. It was less expensive than wheat and so was used mainly for the food of such animals as horses, donkeys and cattle, but sometimes it was mixed with flour and used for making bread for men, mostly for Poor men. The spelt (in ASV and RSV) and the rie(in KJV) appearing in Exodus 9:32 is a kind of grain, which is translated into Na-mack (in Hangul Revised Bible ; HRB), Ssal-bori (in Hangul Common Translated Bible : HCB) and Ho-mil (in Hangul King James Bible; HKJB) but which should be put into Spelt-mil in Korean. The lentil appearing in Genesis 25 : 34 is translated into Pat (red-bean) and Bul-kong respectively in HRB and HCB but the same word in the Second Book of Samuel is translated into Pat in both HRB and HCB. HCB translates lentil into Bul-kong in Genesis and into Pat in the Second Book of Samuel (23:11). HCB and HKJB which put lentil into Pat in previous parts translate the word into Nok-tu in the Second Book of Samuel. The word, lentil here should be put into lentil-kong and parched pulse into "Poken-Chong-ja" not into Poken-Nok-tu. Millet which is translated into Cho should be put into Gui-jang. filches should not be classified as a grain or a cereal but as a flavor or a condiment, so the word filches should be put into So-Hoi-hyang or Hoi-hyang. Regulations in reference to agriculture are included in the Bible. That is, it is seen that the Bible regulates the observance of the sabbatical year and feasts, the partition of land, how to sow and so on. It is also observed that grains are used for metaphors or parables: wheat represents the peaceful times and straws are compared to trifles. As seen above, there should be more prudent examinations and standards for the translation of grains into Pat, Pul-kong, Nok-tu, Gui-ree, Ssal-bo-ri and Na-mack.i-ree, Ssal-bo-ri and Na-mack.
