For as long as humans have existed, there has been a need for humans to connect with water. One of the thrilling ways to achieve this connection is through watersports. It dates to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks where they practiced swimming, rowing, and sailing. These activities had cultural and religious roots. Today, watersports centers are a thriving industry that offers a diverse range of activities, from traditional sailing and rowing to advanced sports like kiteboarding and jet skiing. These centers do not only provide equipment and instruction but also a sense of community for water sports enthusiasts. People nowadays are willing to commute for hours to participate in such activities. Watersports centers act as a gateway to water-based activities. They are recreational facilities connected to water bodies, making watersports available for a wider range of individuals in a safe and organized manner. It often is placed in a scenic location and includes training, gear rental and strictly considers safety measures.

This thesis attempts to analyze the traumatic events and behavioral manifestations of trauma involving select enslaved characters from Leila Aboulela’s historical fictional novel River Spirit (2023), set in late 19th century Sudan in the midst of the Mahdist revolutionary war. In bringing the novel’s enslaved characters’ traumatic experiences to light, this research relies on concepts from the psychoanalytical trauma theory models of Sigmund Freud and Cathy Caruth, as well as Judith Herman’s trauma model outlining the three cardinal symptoms of Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD): hyperarousal, intrusion, and constriction. This research forms an understanding of the aforementioned concepts within the context of Aboulela’s novel, findings associations with PTSD and its symptoms within the dissociated and disturbed mental states of Akuany-Zamzam, Hibra, the Al-Ubayyid governor’s slaves, and the pregnant woman of the Khartoum slave caravan, all of whom had endured slavery and its cruelties. In exploring the traumatized psyches of the characters, this research also delves into Akuany-Zamzam’s connection with the Nile rivers, as even through the tragedy and turbulence of slavery and war, she finds comfort in its waters. The manifestations of the enslaved characters’ traumas were revealed through repetitive, disturbed behavior of both the unconscious and conscious varieties, ranging from memory flashbacks to violent nightmares, as well as complete mental disconnect, derealization, and depersonalization in the face of, and following, the traumatic event.

This research examines the significance of organizational culture (OC) among the staff of medical centers which are at the forefront of healthcare deliveries. It illustrates the extent to which there is a prevalence of understandable culture among the staff and demonstrates the strength of whether the subculture mirrors the dominant culture among medical and non-medical staff. To perform this analysis the sample categorized into two groups to know the strengths of association and difference between the responses of each group. It found that there is a hierarchical culture that mirrors the dominant culture the of center whereas there is no subculture which makes the employees less innovative due to their work nature. The study suggests that medical centers need to approach employee engagement in making decisions about the cultures or subcultures in an organization which will affect the employee’s productivity positively.

This research dives deep into the social media app of Tiktok, exploring how the app impacts aspects of users’ behavior under the context of the ‘Uses and Gratification’ and ‘Social Comparison’ theories while also delving into how marketing on the app influences the behavior of its users as consumers (purchase decisions and buying habits). A combination of quantitative research and qualitative data was used to depict a deeper understanding into the research. The quantitative data of this research is built on the foundation of primary data derived from pre-existing research and studies, and the qualitative data was produced through a survey was conducted garnering about 91 responses. Diverse results were achieved for this survey; out of six propositions proposed 2 were proven false, two were proven true, and two were proven neutral. Therefore, there was a balance in the responses and accuracy of findings. However, the literature found provided appropriate evidence to support all of the propositions. This brings us to the limitation of the research that the sample size (number of respondents) is not an accurate depiction of all Tiktok users and their behaviors, hence one must keep this in mind while drawing conclusions and assumptions solely based on the results. The implications of this study can be to better understand how Tiktok users behave when they interact with the app and how their interactions can further affect their consumptions. Companies, psychological experts and researchers/academics can all benefit from this research when studying about the impact of Tiktok

In a world where people delve into the use of idioms and view them as a way to express emotions that cannot be expressed through everyday language, it is critical to understand that idioms are more than just random expressions of languages; they are key pillars in conveying culture's traditions, beliefs, and shared experiences, as well as playing a vital role in influencing how people interact, think, and view the world. However, these idioms are difficult to communicate across cultures, making it difficult for translators to translate them, let alone machine translation (MT) tools, which many claim will only provide poor-quality translations. Given this, the purpose of this study is to compare ChatGPT and Google Translate's performance in translating idiomatic expressions from the first chapter of “The Catcher in the Rye.” Furthermore, it aims to go further into the realm of idioms and assess the accuracy and effectiveness of these MT tools for translating idiom meanings from English to Arabic in order to establish cultural bonds through improved translation methods. This study incorporates both qualitative and quantitative analysis to examine the most common strategy employed by ChatGPT and Google Translate, according to Mona Baker's translation strategies, as well as assess translation quality in terms of accuracy, fluency, and cultural sensitivity. The results indicate that ChatGPT is more accurate than Google Translate when it comes to translating idiomatic expressions from English to Arabic.

Background: no arabic validated scale is available to date to measure ai literacy. the currentstudy aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a first arabic translation of theartificial intelligence literacy scale (ails) among university students from four arab countries(i.e. lebanon, saudi arabia, Morocco and Palestine).Methods: online cross-sectional data collection took place in July 2023 among universitystudents (N = 1849, mean age of 21.37 ± 3.84 years, 74.3% females).Results: the arabic version replicated the original four-factor structure of the ails. internalconsistency reliability coefficients were excellent (cronbach α = .92). Moreover, scalar, metricand configural invariance was supported across sex and country. Finally, concurrent validitywas established through significant negative correlations of the ails scores with levels of fearof autonomous robots and artificial intelligence.Conclusion: Making an arabic version of the ails available can guide course designs anddevelopment at the higher education system, to include ai in both curricula and assessmentsettings
