The establishment of new medical faculties was a great step forward but the curriculum of the existing faculties should be periodically reviewed and if necessary revised, so as to adjust it to the changing needs of the countries. Emphasis was laid on the appropriate training of medical educators• Training for nurses and auxiliaries should continue to receive due consideration. The need for closer collaboration between ministries of health and medical faculties or other medical teaching institutions was stressed. (b) Border malaria meetings were found very useful for the co-ordination of inter-country eradication measures and should be enlarged as far as possible; malaria problem areas where the local vector had become resistant to insecticides required further epidemiological studies. (c) The problem of trachoma retained attention. It was noted that research was proceeding, especially towards the preparation of vaccines against trachoma. (d) Other communicat>le diseases were discussed； they included smallpox, leprosy poliomyelitis, enteric infections, venereal diseases, bilharziasis and onchocerciasis• The existence of cholera El Tor in areas previously free was of great epidemiological importance e (e) In the field of cancer, more attention should be given to research and to the establishment of national cancer registers. Epidemiological studies should be carried out on both cancer mortality and cancer morbidity- Concerted efforts on research, planning, case-finding and curative aspects should be pursued. (f) Environmental health and community water supplies played an important role in the health field, and WHO assistance in this respect should continue., (g) Health planning was an essential component of any long term national plans for socio-economic development• Health ministries should be adequately represented at National Development Boards. (h) Sound vital and health statistics services were very important and should be promoted or developed. EM/RCI4/H page 4 (i) The role played by health education in all health programmes was deemed of utmost importance。 (j) The control of drugs and pharmaceuticals deserved continued attention； in view of the great quantity of products which literally inundate the market, WHO assistance for the maintenance of adequate standards was urged。 Following is the resolution on the Annual Report of the Regional Director: EM/RC14/RC1 The Regional Committee, 1 Having reviewed the Annual Report of the Regional Director for the period 1 July 1963 to 30 june 1964； Noting with satisfaction the progress made during the last 15 years and especially during the last one； Considering the trans formations and developments which are taking place in the economic and social structure of most of the countries of the Region and their repercussions on the health programme; Realizing that these new programme trends will require more specialists, technicians and.

  • When Maqam Is Reduced to a Place Eyal Sagui Bizawe
    When Maqam is Reduced to a Place Eyal Sagui Bizawe In March 1932, a large-scale impressive festival took place at the National Academy of Music in Cairo: the first international Congress of Arab Music, convened by King Fuad I. The reason for holding it was the King’s love of music, and its aim was to present and record various musical traditions from North Africa and the Middle East, to study and research them. Musical delegations from Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Morocco, Algiers, Tunisia and Turkey entered the splendid building on Malika Nazli Street (today Ramses Street) in central Cairo and in between the many performances experts discussed various subjects, such as musical scales, the history of Arab music and its position in relation to Western music and, of course: the maqam (pl. maqamat), the Arab melodic mode. The congress would eventually be remembered, for good reason, as one of the constitutive events in the history of modern Arab music. The Arab world had been experiencing a cultural revival since the 19th century, brought about by reforms introduced under the Ottoman rule and through encounters with Western ideas and technologies. This renaissance, termed Al-Nahda or awakening, was expressed primarily in the renewal of the Arabic language and the incorporation of modern terminology. Newspapers were established—Al-Waq’i’a al-Masriya (Egyptian Affairs), founded under orders of Viceroy and Pasha Mohammad Ali in 1828, followed by Al-Ahram (The Pyramids), first published in 1875 and still in circulation today; theaters were founded and plays written in Arabic; neo-classical and new Arab poetry was written, which deviated from the strict rules of classical poetry; and new literary genres emerged, such as novels and short stories, uncommon in Arab literature until that time.

  • Contentious Politics in the Maghreb – Dynamics of Contention In
    Johan Roko graduated from the American University in Cairo in 2012 with an MA in Political Science. His research interests include processes of democratization and regime change, as well as foreign policy studies. Johan's work has focused on the contemporary Middle East Contentious Politics in the Maghreb – Dynamics of Contention in Tunisia and Morocco Johan R. Roko Abstract This article draws upon an early study of the spring 2011 unrest in the Arab world to examine and compare how popular mobilization could take place under the repressive conditions of the Tunisian and Moroccan regimes. The analysis is structured around concepts borrowed from Social Movement theory and Political Economy and tests their validity. The study finds that the Social Constructivist approach can best be adapted to understand the events of early 2011. In particular, this article emphasizes how economic pressures had spurred the creation of shared discourses and collective action frames which could be disseminated via Social Media in order to mobilize large groups. However, the role of social media was overstated while the Tunisian revolution and protests in Morocco took place, and this article highlights the continued importance of established forms of collective organization such as the trade unions. This article also looks at variations in how the regimes reacted to the unrest. One conclusion is that the Moroccan regime benefited from its traditional legitimacy and was more flexible in its encounter with protesters than the regime of Ben Ali - These characteristics are strengths which protected the Moroccan monarchy during those tumultuous days.

  • The Pleasures of Polyglossia in Emirati Cinema: Focus on ‘From a to B’ and ‘Abdullah’
    The Pleasures of Polyglossia in Emirati Cinema: Focus on ‘From A to B’ and ‘Abdullah’ Doris Hambuch United Arab Emirates University [email protected] ABSTRACT: Polyglot films highlight the coexistence of multiple languages at the level of dialogue and narration. Even the notoriously monolingual Hollywood film industry has recently seen an increase in polyglot productions. Much of Europe’s polyglot cinema reflects on post-war migration. Hamid Naficy has coined the phrase “accented cinema” to define diasporic filmmaking, a closely related category. The present essay considers polyglot Emirati films as part of an in- creasingly popular global genre. It argues that the lack of a monolin- gual mandate is conducive to experiments with language choices, and that the polyglot genre serves best to emphasize efforts made to ac- commodate the diversity of cultures interacting in urban centers in the United Arab Emirates. Case studies of Ali F. Mostafa’s From A to B (2014) and Humaid Alsuwaidi’s Abdullah (2015) demonstrate the considerable contributions Emirati filmmakers have already made to a genre, which offers a powerful potential for cinema in the UAE. A comparative analysis identifies the extent to which each of the two films reveals elements inherent in three of the five sub-categories out- lined by Chris Wahl. Keywords: Ali Mostafa; Emirati cinema; film analysis; Humaid Alsu- waidi; multilingualism; polyglot cinema Introduction The United Arab Emirates is a comparatively young nation, founded in 1971 as the union of seven emirates in the north of the Arabian Peninsula. Cinemas did not become popular in the UAE until the mid-1990s (Yunis, 2014), and until very recently, they screened exclusively movies made in Hollywood, Bollywood, or Egypt.

While historically defensible, in that Egypt preceded these others in having its own studios and industry, such an assessment nonetheless tends to foreclose on the possibilities for those films inhabiting the “non-Egyptian” model ever be accorded the status of popular cinema. Moreover, where local distribution and exhibition for North African films has been historically partial or non-existent (due to commercial decisions that have historically favored Egyptian, Indian, and Euro-American productions), it has been difficult for many directors in countries like Morocco to avoid the charge that their films—which are often more visible in European festivals than at home—are made for other markets or audiences. Whether in sympathy with the idea of distinctive local or national cinemas and resistance to cultural hegemony, or in suspicion of the politics of international funding and coproduction, many critical treatments of non-Egyptian Arab films make of the popular an evaluative term that signifies local authenticity and a resistance towards European art cinema tendencies and that privileges commercial success over experimentation.

  • Study on the Role of Identity-Oriented Actors in the Syrian Crisis
    Study on the role of identity-oriented actors in the Syrian crisis Professor Seyed Ali Asghar KAZEMI1 PhD. Noushin Mirzaee JEGARLOUII2 Abstract Recent developments in Arab countries have provided new opportunities and possibilities for the transformation of the political climate, security and change the balance of power in the region. Since the beginning of 2011, the Middle East has witnessed major developments and serious changes. The main changes resulting from the Arab Spring in the Middle East can be "crisis development" in the region. Different approaches have been presented on the reason of the crisis in the Middle East, especially political and security developments in Syria. By 2011, signs of civil disobedience and political upheaval in the Middle East have been observed on the agenda of planners. From 2011 onward, identity components provided the context for civil disobedience radicalization and thus social violence has been formed in the form of security policy of radicalized groups. Keywords: security crisis of Middle East, the Arab Spring, Identity-Oriented Actors, Cooperative Security, crisis of identity and legitimacy JEL Classification: K33 1. Introduction In Syria, the country's strategic position in the region and the ethnic and religious structure within the society and the state have made some complexity in the process of transformation. Syria transformation has been under the dominance of the religious identification of Salafi groups who’s rooted in the ideology of Ahmad Ibn Hanbali, Ibn Timiyeh, Mawdudi, Mohammed Abdel Wahab and SayyidQutb. Each of these approaches have reflected signs of violence, Salafism and dealing with secular governments in the Arab Spring process.

  • 9 Sayı : 26 Sayfa: 250 - 265 Mart 2021 Türkiye Araştırma Makalesi
    AVRASYA Uluslararası Araştırmalar Dergisi Cilt : 9 Sayı : 26 Sayfa: 250 - 265 Mart 2021 Türkiye Araştırma Makalesi PARALLELS BETWEEN THE FOREIGN POLICY TENDENCIES OF ARAB STATES AND THE CONTENTS OF THEIR NATIONAL ANTHEMS Dr. Burak KÜRKÇÜ. ABSTRACT This paper investigates the parallels between the foreign policy aspirations of Arab states and their national anthems by making the content analysis of their lyrics. The lyrics of national anthems, as poetic declarations of the national feelings and the raison d’état of independent states, present important clues about the national interest conceptualization and foreign policy orientation. After the content analysis of the national anthems of Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Jordan, this paper finds out that the lyrics of the anthems of Arab republics include more patriotic words and stronger tone than those of the monarchies; and their tones get stronger in times of conflict and war. Unlike republics, Arab monarchies seem to prefer shorter lyrics and use their anthems even without lyrics for a long time. Republics attach specific importance to the anthems in terms of promoting the national values and expressing the feelings of their people about independence, and their anthems are mostly selected by organizing national competitions. For Arab republics it would appear that the changes in their anthems accompany the changes in their foreign policy. Whenever Arab republics involve in more conflictual foreign policy, their anthems accompany with stronger lyrics while their tones get softer in the times of peace. Keywords: Anthem, Foreign Policy, Arab States, Monarchy, Republic.

  • Soixante-Dix Ans De Chansons Pour La Palestine
    Soixante-dix ans de chansons pour la https://www.contretemps.eu Palestine redaction Si la chanson est reconnue depuis longtemps comme un écho des opinions populaires, voire comme un instrument de ralliement derrière une cause, dans le cas de la Palestine elle joue un rôle supplémentaire. Ce n’est pas un mystère : l’entreprise de colonisation du territoire palestinien s’est très tôt accompagnée d’une colonisation culturelle qui a entravé, menacé de disparition, voire totalement nié la culture palestinienne. Dans un tel contexte, les chansons palestiniennes, ou même celles qui « parlent de Palestine », en plus de participer à la lutte proprement dite, constituent en elles-mêmes des actes de résistance, des « preuves de vie », des preuves de créativité d’une population qui ne se laisse pas détruire. C’est cette histoire que nous allons explorer ici. L’article qui fait autorité sur l’histoire récente de la Palestine à travers la musique est celui de Joseph Massad, publié en anglais en 2003[1]. C’est à partir de cet article que je propose ici une approche similaire, en français, complétée par une mise à jour rendue nécessaire notamment par l’arrivée massive du rap dans les années 2000. Cette approche sera également étendue aux musiciens occidentaux qui, depuis les années 1980, contribuent à la mise en musique d’une histoire palestinienne, y compris depuis 2005, à travers leur participation à la composante culturelle de la campagne internationale de Boycott, Désinvestissement et Sanctions (BDS) lancée contre l’État israélien. Néanmoins, comme Massad, je ne rechercherai pas l’exhaustivité, mais à souligner comment la musique d’une époque réagit à l’actualité, comment elle exprime les sentiments populaires, parfois en contradiction avec les discours officiels, mais aussi comment elle mobilise les populations selon des registres « de leur temps ».

  • Arab Ethno-Pop As Seen Through the Prism of the Jordanian Youth: Recreation of Locality, Scattering Globalization, and the Triumph of Amusement
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.11, No.23, 2020 Arab Ethno-pop as Seen Through the Prism of the Jordanian Youth: Recreation of Locality, Scattering Globalization, and the Triumph of Amusement Tsonka Al Bakri School of Art and Design, The University of Jordan, Amman 11942, Jordan Abstract Music preferences amongst young people provide a significant indicator for understanding their ethnic identities. When quantified and studied, the suggested marker could pose to be a substantial asset that establishes a solid understanding of local music and its role as a socio-indicator for aesthetic preference, and resembles an important aspect of cultural, and ethnic self-determination. Grounded in both historical and socio-cultural analysis, this research will study how music, as a medium, shapes and identifies the given nation’s preference in music. The qualitative aim of the research is to explore the underlying meaning behind popular Arab music. The aim will be accomplished by utilizing a reflective terminological study based on a quantitative analysis (in the form of a questionnaire schemed to cooperative students from the ‘Yarmouk University’ Irbid, Jordan). The data attained from the questionnaire will be employed as a premise for the formulation of the results; and hence, confirming the true importance of contemporary music culture in the development of personal values and musical criteria. Focus is mainly pivoted on modern Arab pop music being interpreted as ‘ethno-pop’, and interactions found between Western pop and Arabic music will be discussed thoroughly. This conjunction will be looked at as in fact being an exchange of experiences and symbolic norms.
