Abdel Aziz M. Sartawi  Maher M. Abu-Hilal  Ibrahim Qaryouti 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1999,46(1):109-115

The purpose of the study was to test a structural model which involves training variables and work environment variables in the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Two instruments were used to collect data from people with a disability (n = 113) about their views of the training program and work environment. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis revealed the following results: the factor representing psychological support and suitability of training environment influenced positively the disabled workers' view of their work; the factor representing job selection, trainers, and efficacy of program had a negative effect on the view of the people with disability on their work environment; while job selection had a direct negative effect on how others perceive the disabled person.  相似文献

Role of water molecules in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate reversed micelles in n-heptane     

Taleb H. Ibrahim 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2010,347(5):875-881

Recently molecular modeling was employed on the metal-extracted aggregates that form during the liquid/liquid extraction of transition metals. During the extraction process, the aqueous phase pH is adjusted with sodium hydroxide. In additional to the formation of the transition metal-extractant reversed micelles, sodium-bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (NaDEHP) reversed micelles can also form. According to the classical model of reversed micelles, water molecules act as promoters for the formation of reversed micelles. Water molecules act as “gluing” agents for micellization in apolar media. Here we report a unique finding about the role of water molecules in reversed micellar aggregates using molecular modeling. The molecular modeling of the reversed micellar system of NaDEHP in n-heptane clearly shows that water molecules can act as an “antimicellization” agent. Water molecules have no gluing effect on the formation of NaDEHP reversed micelles. In fact, large NaDEHP reversed micelles are formed in “dry” conditions.  相似文献   

The education of an industrial middle class in Arab-Islamic countries     

Ibrahim Assad Odeh 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1993,39(4):307-317

The absence of an industrial middle class in Arab Islamic countries has been, and still is, a major obstacle to national development. These countries, like others in the Third World, mostly inherited their systems of industrial education from former colonial or mandated powers, that is, from industrial nations, without taking into consideration the different social and socio-economic situation. A model is proposed here for a kind of industrial university, the Djamiat Al-Sináh. The name alludes to the Mosque as a centre of common activity, and tries to express the cultural and social contexts, and the target groups, of the institution. The model relies on social and industrial evolution, and meets the urgent need of Arab societies for an alternative to Eurocentric models. In the Djamiat, a practice-oriented education is to be provided, based on principles of professional efficiency and creativity, competence and entrepreneurial initiative. The students are to become co-ordinators, organizers, technicians and industrial trainers as well as independent small businessmen. The model is understood as a contribution to the education of an industrial middle class and to the promotion of trade and industry.

Zusammenfassung Das Fehlen einer industriellen Mittelschicht in den arabischislamischen Ländern war und ist ein Haupthindernis für die nationale Entwicklung. Diese Länder haben ebenso wie andere Dritte-Welt-Länder ihre Systeme industrieller Ausbildung von früheren Kolonialherren oder Mandatsländern übernommen, das heißt von den Industrieländern ohne Rücksicht auf die geänderte soziale und sozialökonomische Situation. Es wird hier ein Modell für eine industrielle Universität vorgeschlagen, die Djamiat Al-Sináh. Der Name deutet auf die Moschee als Zentrum allgemeiner Aktivitäten hin und versucht, die kulturellen und sozialen Zusammenhänge und die Zielgruppen der Institution auszudrücken. Das Modell basiert auf der sozialen und industriellen Evolution und erfüllt das dringende Bedürfnis arabischer Gesellschaftssysteme nach einer Alternative zu eurozentrischen Modellen. In der Djamiat soll eine praxisorientierte Bildung angeboten werden, die auf den Prinzipien professioneller Effizienz und Kreativität, Kompetenz und unternehmerischer Initiative basiert. Die Studenten sollen Berufe wie Koordinatoren, Organisatoren, Techniker und industrielle Ausbilder, sowie unabhängige Kleinunternehmer ergreifen. Das Modell wird als ein Beitrag zur Ausbildung einer industriellen Mittelschicht und zur Förderung von Handel und Industrie verstanden.

Résumé L'absence d'une classe industrielle moyenne dans les pays arabes islamiques a été, et est toujours, un obstacle majeur au développement national. Ces pays, comme d'autres du Tiers Monde, ont pour la plupart hérité leurs systèmes d'éducation industrielle des anciennes puissances coloniales ou mandataires, c'est-à-dire des nations industrielles, sans qu'on ait pris en considération leur situation sociale et socio-économique différente. On propose ici un modèele d'université industrielle, appelé Djamiat Al-Sináh. Ce nom compare la mosquée à un centre d'activité commune et s'efforce d'exprimer les contextes culturels et sociaux, et les groupes-cibles, de l'institution. Ce modèle repose sur l'évolution sociale et industrielle, et répond au besoin urgent des sociétés arabes d'une solution de remplacement aux modèles centrés sur l'Europe. Au Djamiat, l'enseignement doit être orienté vers la pratique et se fonder sur les principes de l'efficacité professionnelle et de la créativite, de la compétence et du sens de l'entreprise. Les étudiants y sont formés pour devenir des coordinateurs, des organisateurs, des techniciens et des formateurs industriels ainsi que de petits hommes d'affaires indépendants. Ce modèle est considéré comme une contribution à la formation d'une classe industrielle moyenne et à la promotion du commerce et de l'industrie.

Linking Biochemistry Concepts to Food Safety Using Yogurt as a Model     

Tahl Zimmerman  Mariama Ibrahim  Rabin Gyawali  Salam A Ibrahim 《Journal of Food Science Education》2019,18(1):4-10

This laboratory activity was designed to strengthen our Food and Nutritional Science students’ knowledge of biochemistry concepts and the relationship between these concepts and food science. The result was a laboratory experience in which biochemistry concepts are taught using yogurt as a model, in order to link those concepts to food safety, an important area of food science. The students employed a colorimetric method to measure the lactase activity of bacterial strains found in commercial yogurts and were encouraged to relate the activity to bacterial lactic acid production, fermentation, and food safety. Students were assessed with pre‐ and post‐test exams, laboratory reports, class performance rubrics, and the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI). The result demonstrated that the students successfully completed the learning objectives and were motivated during the activity. This exercise could be used as a template for a simplified and engaging way to introduce food science majors, as well as other students, to complex biochemistry and molecular biology concepts using food, particularly yogurt, as a model.  相似文献

Review on development progress of automatic manual transmissions control     

ALIAmirIbrahim QINDa-tong ATTIANabilAbdulla 《重庆大学学报(英文版)》2004,3(2):38-42

In recent years, the sustainable development of automatic manual transmissions (AMTs) control in vehicles is conspicuous. The control applications have grown fast and steadily due to the tremendous progress in power electronics components and the control software that enhance the requirements for delivering higher vehicles performance. AMTs control strategies achieve a reduction in the driveline dynamic oscillations behavior during gear shifting and clutch starting up processes. AMTs future expectations are an increase of torque capacity, more speed ratios and the development of advanced and efficient electronic control systems. This paper concerns with the progressing view of AMTs in the past, today and future, gives an overview of the potential dynamic problems concerned with AMTs and some control strategies used to solve those problems.  相似文献   

How simple is reading in Arabic? A cross‐sectional investigation of reading comprehension from first to sixth grade          下载免费PDF全文

Ibrahim A. Asadi  Asaid Khateb  Michal Shany 《Journal of Research in Reading》2017,40(Z1):S1-S22

This study aimed to examine, from a cross‐sectional perspective, the extent to which the simple view of reading (SVR) model can be adapted to the Arabic language. This was carried out by verifying, in both beginning and more skilled readers, whether the unique orthographical and morphological characteristics of Arabic contribute to reading comprehension beyond decoding and listening comprehension abilities. Reading comprehension was evaluated in a large sample of first to sixth‐grade Arabic‐speaking children. The participants' decoding and listening comprehension abilities were investigated together with their orthographic and morphological knowledge. Path analysis indicated that reading comprehension was moderately explained by the SVR (56–38%). Orthographic and morphological knowledge explained an additional 10–22% of the variance beyond that explained by the basic SVR components. These findings demonstrate that certain linguistic aspects of Arabic impact reading processes differently when compared with other languages. The psycholinguistic implications of these findings are discussed in the light of previous findings in the literature.

What is already known about this topic?

• The ‘simple view of reading’ model explains reading comprehension as the product of decoding and listening comprehension.
• This model explains between 70% and 83% of the variance in reading comprehension in English, in which the contribution of decoding and listening comprehension varies as a function of the level of the readers.
• Orthographic transparency and other unique characteristics of the languages studied might influence reading comprehension in these languages

What does this paper add?

• Arabic is a diglossic language that is characterised by relatively unique orthographic and morphological features for which the validity of the simple view of reading (SVR) has not been tested.
• The basic components of the SVR (decoding and listening comprehension) have explained between 56% and 38% of the variance in reading comprehension in children from the first to the sixth grade.
• Decoding, as one of the basic components of the SVR, failed to contribute to reading comprehension when orthography and morphology were considered.

Implications for practice and/or policy

• This large‐scale cross‐sectional study is the first of its type to assess reading comprehension in Arabic.
• The study justifies the necessity to assess the suitability of the SVR in languages with very specific linguistic characteristics such as Arabic.
• The results emphasise the necessity of considering the complex orthography and the rich morphology of Arabic for improving teaching, assessment and intervention.

The contributions of relationships with parents and teachers to Turkish children’s antisocial behaviour     

Ibrahim H. Acar  Moon Y. Q. Evans  Kathleen M. Rudasill  Suleyman Yıldız 《教育心理学》2018,38(7):877-897

The present study examined the concurrent contributions of parent–child and teacher–child relationship quality to Turkish children’s antisocial behaviour, with a specific focus on the moderating role of teacher–child relationships (closeness and conflict) on parent–child relationships when predicting antisocial behaviour. Participants were 94 children (56 boys) with mean age of 7.05 years (SD = .88) enrolled in 24 classrooms from five elementary schools in a suburban school district in Turkey. Mothers reported on their relationship with children and teachers reported on their relationships with children as well as children’s antisocial behaviour. SAS PROC MIXED was used to test hierarchical regression models of children nested within classrooms. Results showed that teacher–child conflict moderated the association between parent–child conflict and children’s antisocial behaviour. Such that, higher parent–child conflict was related to higher levels of antisocial behaviour at the context of higher levels of teacher–child conflict. In addition, teacher–child closeness also moderated the association between parent–child conflict and children’s antisocial behaviour. Such that when teacher–child closeness was at average or high levels, lower levels of parent–child conflict was related to lower levels of antisocial behaviour. Teacher–child conflict was positively associated with children’s antisocial behaviour. Limitations and future directions of the current study are discussed.  相似文献
