Philosophical Writing in the Face of Technology: From the Pharmakon to the Algorithm — Toward a Genealogical Critique of the Fate of Thought in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence
type: item
description: This study begins from a central problem situated at the intersection of philosophy, technology, and writing in a historically critical moment: how is generative artificial intelligence reshaping the nature of philosophical thought and the mechanisms of its production, and does philosophical writing preserve its critical and creative identity when surrounded by an algorithmic system that regenerates meaning according to probabilistic equations rather than the movement of thinking consciousness? The argument is grounded in a dual theoretical depth. On the one hand, it invokes the Platonic-Derridean concept of the pharmakon—that semantic ambivalence which makes writing both poison and remedy at the same time; on the other hand, it draws on Bernard Stiegler’s critique of technology as an organic extension of consciousness through what he called tertiary retention, that is, memory exteriorized into tools, platforms, and data structures. The depth of the argument becomes visible in the transition from the pharmakon—as a “double of danger and promise” in traditional writing—to the algorithm as a new digital pharmakon that reconfigures human symbolic production as a whole. The research seeks a dual aim: first, to critique the epistemological foundations on which generative artificial intelligence bases its claim to “producing thought”; and second, to construct a genealogical framework—drawing on Nietzsche and Foucault—to trace the historical and power-related conditions that produced the dominance of the algorithmic model in the field of writing and thinking. A review of the literature reveals a real research gap: existing studies are concerned either with the ethical critique of artificial intelligence or with the analysis of its computational techniques, but none has carried out a genealogical-philosophical critique that questions the effect of the algorithm on philosophical writing itself as both a practice and a form of symbolic resistance. The significance of this stu…

Andalusian Women's Rights between Islamic Legislation and Practice during the 4th-6th AH / 10th-12th CE Centuries
type: item
description: This study examines the reality of women's rights in Andalusian society. It focuses on the position women held within the family and social order. It also considers their presence as legal actors whose rights were guaranteed by Islamic legal rulings and shaped by prevailing social practice. The analysis shows that women possessed several social rights throughout the stages of family life. These rights appeared when the marital bond was formed, through the rules of guardianship, dower, shawar, and siyaqa. They also appeared when that bond ended, through issues such as withdrawal from marriage, the different forms of divorce, khul', waiting periods, proof of lineage, and custody. These fields reveal a careful system that aimed to preserve family balance and regulate relations among its members. The study also shows that women enjoyed financial rights that gave them a degree of economic independence. This was most evident in their right to maintenance, which was assessed in light of economic and social conditions. It was also clear in their right to inheritance, which was treated as a legal entitlement governed by precise rules. The findings confirm that Andalusian society had an advanced legal and social framework. This framework strengthened women's position within the family and recognized rights that reflected the level of social and economic organization reached in Islamic al-Andalus.

Manifestations of Dialogue with the Other in the Thought of Emir Abdelkader: A Sociological Reading
type: item
description: This article aims to analyze “the manifestations of dialogue with the Other in the thought of Emir Abdelkader from a sociological perspective,” by highlighting his vision as a civilizational model that establishes a comprehensive human awareness based on the values of tolerance and openness as components for building rational social action. The research addresses the Emir’s ability to achieve cognitive harmony between the Islamic reference in its original sources (the Holy Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah) and openness to rational and philosophical knowledge, reflecting a conscious communicative methodology that sought to produce a rational and humanistic conception of dialogue within contexts of conflict and social interaction. The article reviews his educational and health contributions as an expression of his reformist vision, which falls within a project of social modernization that balances material necessities and spiritual values in managing the relationship with the Other. The research relied on the sociological analysis method to deconstruct the intellectual and religious structures that formed the foundations of this dialogical system. The research concluded that dialogue for the Emir represents a deeply rooted civilizational strategy, whose relevance derives from its ability to promote coexistence and regulate the dynamics of social and cultural diversity within non-conflictual interactive frameworks.

Military Reform in the Ottoman Empire during the Reign of Sultan Selim III (1789-1807)
type: item
description: During its later period, the Ottoman Empire experienced decline in several fields. The military sphere was the most important because it formed the backbone of the state. The government therefore adopted reform as a means of restoring its strength. Sultan Selim III was among the most prominent reformers. He confronted major obstacles and sought a comprehensive reorganization of the military establishment. He also created new units known as the Nizam-i Cedid, or New Order. Selim III devoted much of his reign to building a strong and cohesive army. He introduced reforms in military organization and combat training. He also sought to modernize weapons and artillery so that they could meet the requirements of the nineteenth century. These measures marked an important beginning of effective Ottoman military reform. They were later expanded under Sultan Mahmud II, who benefited from Selim III's experience and continued his reformist project.

Art Therapy and Its Role in Developing Social Skills among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the role of art therapy in developing social skills among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This therapeutic approach is grounded in the premise that art serves as an alternative means of communication, enabling children with ASD to overcome language barriers, which constitute one of the most significant challenges they face. Children with ASD exhibit marked deficits in a wide range of social skills, including impaired verbal communication, stereotyped behaviors, difficulty interpreting gestures and facial expressions, limited reciprocal interaction, and deficiencies in establishing and maintaining social relationships. Through a comprehensive review and analysis of previous literature, the present study highlights the contribution of art therapy to the enhancement of these social skills. Art provides a safe and alternative channel for communication that does not rely exclusively on verbal language or symbolic expression. It also creates interactive situations that encourage children with ASD to develop social relationships, reduce psychological stress, and increase their motivation to participate in social activities. Furthermore, art therapy contributes to alleviating social isolation and facilitates children's integration into collaborative artistic groups. Accordingly, the study recommends incorporating art therapy into therapeutic interventions designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The Language of Narrative and the Techniques of Constructing Narrative Discourse in Zayni Barakat
type: item
description: Jamal al-Ghitani's novel Zayni Barakat constructs its narrative discourse by employing history as an artistic medium rather than merely a record of events. The novelist relies on intertextuality with the chronicles of Ibn Iyas, particularly Bada'iʿ al-Zuhur fi Waqa'iʿ al-Duhur (The Wonderful Flowers in the Events of the Ages), drawing upon historical events and figures to recreate them within a fictional framework that reflects contemporary issues, foremost among them tyranny, oppression, and the violation of individual freedoms. His objective is not to rewrite history but to transform it into a tool for interpreting the present and revealing the similarities between the past and contemporary reality. Al-Ghitani also employs a variety of narrative techniques, most notably artistic opposition, ironic contrast, and the transformation of historical reports. He reshapes historical accounts and events in a manner that serves the artistic structure of the novel while endowing it with new semantic and aesthetic dimensions. Furthermore, the use of classical language and a documentary style reinforces the illusion of historical authenticity without compromising the fictional nature of the narrative. In this way, al-Ghitani successfully combines history and fiction, presenting a novelistic model that unites the authenticity of heritage with the modernity of narrative vision.

Population Growth and Its Effects on Natural Resources
type: item
description: Population growth is one of the most significant factors influencing the availability and sustainability of natural resources in the modern world. As the global population continues to increase, the demand for essential resources such as water, land, energy, and food has risen dramatically. This growing pressure has led to the overexploitation of natural resources, resulting in environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and depletion of ecosystems. the relationship between population growth and resource consumption, highlighting how rapid population expansion intensifies challenges such as deforestation, water scarcity, soil erosion, and climate change. Increasing urbanization and industrialization further accelerate resource depletion, often leading to unsustainable patterns of production and consumption. In many developing regions, limited resource management and unequal distribution exacerbate these issues, creating socio-economic imbalances and environmental stress. Moreover, the paper emphasizes the need for sustainable resource management practices to address the impacts of population growth. Strategies such as efficient resource utilization, adoption of renewable energy, conservation of ecosystems, and implementation of effective policies are essential for maintaining ecological balance. while population growth presents serious challenges, a combination of sustainable development practices, technological innovation, and responsible governance can help mitigate its adverse effects and ensure long-term resource sustainability.

The Structure of Historical Language and Its Narrative Manifestations in the Contemporary Arabic Novel: Al-Zayni Barakat by Gamal al-Ghitani as a Model
type: item
description: This study seeks to explore the dialectical relationship between historical and fictional discourse by examining the mechanisms through which the language of historians is appropriated and transformed into an aesthetic instrument in contemporary Arabic narrative. The study takes the Egyptian novelist Gamal al-Ghitani's Al-Zayni Barakat as a case study to investigate the extent of his ability to emulate the linguistic and structural features of Mamluk-era chronicles, particularly those of Ibn Iyas. The study concludes that al-Ghitani's employment of historical language was neither a mere retreat into the past nor a form of classical imitation. Rather, it constituted a conscious experimental technique aimed at creating a metaphorical equivalent and an artistic projection through which he addressed the political and existential crises confronting the individual during the 1960s.

Migration Patterns and Their Socio-Economic Impacts
type: item
description: Migration is a dynamic and complex phenomenon that plays a significant role in shaping demographic structures, economic development, and social transformations across regions and countries. This study examines various migration patterns, including rural-to-urban, urban-to-urban, and international migration, and analyzes their socio-economic impacts on both origin and destination areas. Migration is often driven by factors such as employment opportunities, education, political instability, environmental changes, and improved living conditions. migration contributes positively to economic growth by supplying labor, enhancing productivity, and increasing remittances, which support household incomes and national economies. Urban areas, in particular, benefit from a diverse and skilled workforce, fostering innovation and development. At the same time, migration can also lead to challenges such as pressure on urban infrastructure, housing shortages, unemployment, and the growth of informal settlements. From a social perspective, migration influences cultural exchange, social integration, and demographic diversity. However, it may also create issues related to social inequality, marginalization, and access to basic services such as healthcare and education. In origin regions, migration can result in labor shortages and demographic imbalances but may also lead to improved living standards through remittances and knowledge transfer. the need for effective policies and planning to manage migration in a way that maximizes its benefits while minimizing its adverse effects. By adopting inclusive and sustainable approaches, governments can address the socio-economic challenges associated with migration and promote balanced regional development.

The Methodology Employed by Tajweed Scholars in Describing Arabic Letters An Analytical Study in Light of Modern Phonetic Studies
type: item
description: In this research paper, we aim to examine the texts of Tajweed scholars to explore the scientific efforts and methodological approaches they employed in describing the letters of the Arabic language and elucidating their functional characteristics in the Qur'an. Our objective is to place these views and methodologies within the context of the findings and insights provided by modern linguistics. Based on this premise, our research relies on a methodological framework built on two primary foundations: the first involves analyzing the texts to uncover the key principles and methodologies used in describing letters as physical phonemes isolated from the structural context of speech performance. The second foundation seeks to extract the most prominent principles of letter description as distinctive opponent units, i.e., phonetic units organized according to the laws of adjacency and their implications in the context of speech. One of the most important findings of this research paper is that Tajweed scholars had views and insights into establishing phonetic facts that closely align in their depth with the findings of modern phonetic studies. Additionally, they made significant contributions that could enhance contemporary Arabic phonetic research.

The Objectives of the Penal System in Islamic Jurisprudence
type: item
description: This study examines the objectives of the penal system in Islamic jurisprudence through a maqasid-based analytical approach. It argues that punishment in Islamic law is not an end in itself and is not founded on the mere infliction of pain. Its central purposes are the protection of essential interests, the prevention of crime, the removal of harm, the preservation of public order, the realization of justice, and the rehabilitation of offenders whenever rehabilitation is possible. The study also explains the principles of legality, proportionality, individual criminal responsibility, procedural fairness, and the protection of victims. It distinguishes between hudud, qisas and diyah, and ta'zir, while emphasizing that each category operates within a framework of legal authority and evidentiary safeguards. The analysis shows that the flexibility of ta'zir enables the legitimate authority to respond to new forms of criminality and to adopt sanctions that are appropriate to the offence, the offender, and the interests of society. Contemporary international standards on legality, humane treatment, non-custodial measures, rehabilitation, and restorative justice are used for limited comparative purposes. The study concludes that the Islamic penal system combines deterrence with mercy, social protection with individual dignity, and accountability with reintegration. Its effective application requires sound legislation, independent adjudication, qualified institutions, and a continuing commitment to the higher objectives of Sharia.

The Role of the Clinical Psychologist in Addressing Psychological Problems within the School Environment
type: item
description: This article aims to analyze the role of the clinical psychologist in addressing psychological problems within the school environment from a scientific perspective that links students’ mental health with the quality of learning and social adjustment. Schools are no longer merely spaces for knowledge transmission; rather, they have become developmental, social, and emotional environments where the needs of children and adolescents intersect with family expectations, curricula, and classroom relationships. The importance of clinical psychological intervention in schools has increased in light of the growing prevalence of anxiety, depression, bullying, violence, impulsive behaviors, and adjustment difficulties. Such problems may adversely affect academic achievement, social integration, identity formation, and readiness to learn. This article adopts a descriptive-analytical approach based on a review of psychological and educational literature and employs a multi-level framework that integrates prevention, early detection, clinical assessment, psychological intervention, family counseling, and coordination with educational and healthcare professionals. The findings indicate that the clinical psychologist plays a pivotal role in establishing a school environment that supports mental health, provided that clear professional guidelines, ethical autonomy, precise referral mechanisms, and institutional collaboration with school administrators, teachers, families, and health services are ensured. Furthermore, the article emphasizes that the effectiveness of school-based psychological care cannot be achieved through individual treatment alone but rather through a comprehensive system that integrates psychological support into the everyday culture of the school.

Biodegradable Polymer Composites for Environmental Sustainability
type: item
description: Biodegradable polymer composites have gained significant attention as environmentally sustainable alternatives to conventional synthetic polymers. Traditional plastic materials, widely used in packaging, construction, and consumer products, often create serious environmental problems due to their non-biodegradable nature and long-term persistence in ecosystems. In response to increasing concerns about plastic pollution and resource depletion, researchers have focused on developing biodegradable polymers and composite materials that can decompose naturally without causing long-term environmental damage. Biodegradable polymer composites are typically produced by combining biodegradable polymers with natural fibers or fillers such as cellulose, starch, bamboo fiber, and agricultural residues. These materials offer several advantages, including reduced environmental impact, improved mechanical properties, and the ability to degrade through natural biological processes. Common biodegradable polymers used in composite materials include polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and starch-based polymers. When reinforced with natural fibers, these polymers exhibit enhanced strength, durability, and thermal stability, making them suitable for various industrial applications.

Cognitive Linguistics and Other Sciences: An Integrative Approach
type: item
description: A constellation of cognitive sciences has converged to shape a new linguistic orientation known as Cognitive Linguistics. Moving away from the traditional view of language as an isolated formal system, this approach regards language as a mental-cognitive activity. By adopting experimental and embodied perspectives aimed at studying the human mind and its mechanisms for processing language and concepts, it conceives of language as a cognitive activity rooted in bodily, sensory, and intellectual experience. Consequently, Cognitive Linguistics has become a thoroughly interdisciplinary field, nourished by the theories and insights of neighboring disciplines — namely traditional linguistics, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, artificial intelligence, anthropology, and the educational sciences. This paper highlights the cognitive interweaving between Cognitive Linguistics and these fields. Such interaction is grounded in theoretical and methodological synergy that has established a comprehensive approach to the study of language and mind — one that transcends disciplinary isolation toward an integrative horizon. This synergy opens new possibilities for understanding language in light of the mental and cognitive processes and the cultural contexts that both produce it and are reproduced through it. Within this framework, our study is titled “Cognitive Linguistics and Other Sciences: An Integrative Approach.” The following guiding questions underpin the research: What is Cognitive Linguistics, and what are its theoretical foundations? Which scientific disciplines intersect with Cognitive Linguistics? What forms of cognitive interaction and integration exist between Cognitive Linguistics and neighboring cognitive sciences? What contributions have these other sciences made to Cognitive Linguistics? These questions constitute the problem this study aims to address.

Recycling and Reuse of Industrial Materials for Sustainable Development
type: item
description: The rapid growth of industrial activities has led to increased consumption of natural resources and the generation of large amounts of industrial waste. These challenges have raised serious environmental concerns, including resource depletion, pollution, and the accumulation of waste in landfills. Recycling and reuse of industrial materials have therefore become essential strategies for promoting sustainable development and reducing the environmental impact of industrial production. By recovering and reprocessing waste materials, industries can conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental pollution. Industrial recycling involves the collection, processing, and transformation of waste materials such as metals, plastics, glass, and construction debris into new products or raw materials for further use. Reusing materials directly without extensive processing also helps extend the life cycle of industrial resources and reduces the need for new material extraction. Materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, and various polymers can be recycled multiple times without significant loss of quality, making them highly valuable in sustainable manufacturing systems.

Safeguarding of Cultural Property: A Dual Safeguarding System in Times of War
type: item
description: The safeguarding of cultural property during armed conflicts demonstrates the development of international humanitarian law (IHL) in keeping pace with the realities of military operations. It also reflects the growing international commitment to protecting cultural property through the significant efforts undertaken by the United Nations. Armed conflicts are often characterized by the destruction and looting of cultural property, as well as its illicit trafficking. In response, the international community has intensified its efforts to combat these crimes, culminating in international criminal prosecutions of those responsible. Despite these developments, imposing the obligation to safeguard cultural property on belligerents remains a significant challenge for several reasons.

Development of Lightweight Materials for Aerospace and Automotive Industries
type: item
description: The development of lightweight materials has become a critical focus in modern engineering, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries where reducing weight plays a significant role in improving performance, fuel efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Traditional materials such as steel and conventional alloys, although strong and durable, often contribute to increased structural weight and energy consumption. As a result, researchers and engineers have increasingly focused on designing advanced lightweight materials that maintain high mechanical strength while significantly reducing overall mass. Various lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, and fiber-reinforced composite materials have been widely adopted in aerospace and automotive applications. Aluminum alloys are extensively used in aircraft structures and vehicle components due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Similarly, magnesium alloys offer even lower density, making them suitable for applications where minimizing weight is essential. Titanium alloys are valued for their high strength, heat resistance, and durability, particularly in aerospace components exposed to extreme operating conditions.
