Spatial Analysis of Climatic Comfort in the Wadi Al-Kouf Basin, Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar, according to Oliver’s Index
type: item
description: This study analyzes the spatial and temporal distribution of bioclimatic comfort in the Wadi Al-Kouf Basin, located in the Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar region of northeastern Libya, using Oliver’s Temperature–Humidity Index (THI). The research integrates climatic data from the NASA POWER project for the period 1981–2023 with remote sensing data (Sentinel-2 and ASTER DEM) to derive key environmental variables, including vegetation cover (NDVI) and topographic characteristics (elevation and slope). Data processing and analysis were carried out using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and statistical techniques. The results reveal pronounced spatial and temporal variability in bioclimatic comfort levels. Cold discomfort conditions dominate during winter and spring across most of the basin, while heat stress prevails in summer, particularly in July and August. Autumn represents a transitional season. The analysis also indicates a strong correlation between reduced bioclimatic comfort, higher elevations, and sparse vegetation cover. The study highlights the need for climate-adaptive tourism and urban planning strategies to support sustainable environmental and tourism development in the region.

University Students’ Attitudes toward Media Bias in Libyan Satellite Channels: A Field Study”
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the attitudes of Libyan university youth towards media bias in Libyan satellite channels, and to analyze the extent of their awareness of this bias and its impact on their stances regarding national and societal issues. The study adopted a descriptive survey methodology, applying a questionnaire to a stratified random sample of 400 male and female students from Omar Al-Mukhtar University. The results revealed that the majority of students are aware of media bias, especially political bias, and that Libya Al-Hadath channel is the most followed among them. The results also showed that the way news is presented somewhat affects students' opinions and their awareness of national issues, and that there is a variation in the level of trust in news content among channels. The study recommends that Libyan satellite channels should focus on neutrality and objectivity in their media discourse, and avoid biased methods that may lead to a loss of credibility among the public, while emphasizing the importance of enhancing critical awareness among youth towards media content.

The level of social support for academically outstanding students: A comparative study between students at the Center for Excellence and outstanding students in public schools.
type: item
description: The study aimed to investigate the level of social support among a sample of academically gifted students enrolled in the Gifted Center and those in public schools in the city of Al-Bayda. It also sought to examine the significance of differences in social support levels according to gender and type of school. The sample consisted of 100 male and female students. The Social Support Scale, developed by Asmaa Al-Oraybi and Amani Abdel-Maqsoud (2001), was used. The results indicated a high level of social support among gifted students overall. Furthermore, the findings revealed no statistically significant differences in the level of social support based on gender, except in the dimension of satisfaction with support, which favored male students. However, statistically significant differences were found in the level of social support based on the type of school, in favor of students in public schools.

The development of commercial activity along the Benghazi-Wadai Road (1809-1909)
type: item
description: This research aims to study the development of trade along the Benghazi-Wadai Road between 1809 and 1909. This research explores the development of the road, its opening, and the impact it had on the policies of the Wadai Sultans during the first half of the nineteenth century. The research also examines the relationship between the Senussi and the Wadai Court during the second half of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century, its impact on trade along the road, and the volume of trade between Benghazi and Wadai, as well as the most important commodities exchanged. The research concludes with important findings that demonstrate that this road did not stabilize until after the mid-nineteenth century, that the peak of trade along the road occurred in the last quarter of the century, and that trade along the road lasted longer than any other route linking the Sahara to the Mediterranean.

Separate Accusative Pronouns in the Holy Quran, A Grammatical and Semantic Study
type: item
description: This research aims to explore the semantic implications of the use of disjunctive object pronouns in the Holy Qur’an. The use of the disjunctive form represents a departure from the common purpose of pronouns in general, which is to achieve brevity and conciseness in speech. For this reason, the attached pronoun is more natural to the Arab speaker and closer to their linguistic instinct. Thus, whenever the attached form is possible, the disjunctive form is not used except for specific semantic and rhetorical purposes. It is well known that the language of the Qur’an is distinguished by its precision in the choice of words and structures, which is among the reasons for its inimitability. This motivated us to examine the motives behind the use of the disjunctive pronoun in this divine style of eloquence, which can be summarized in restriction and specification, emphasis on the pronoun itself, or its occurrence as a dependent element following a word that separates it from its governing word.

Title and poetic text: A reading of the poetry collection "Yati al-Aashiqoun Ilaik" by the poet Muhammad al-Fayturi
type: item
description: This article seeks to examine the relationship between the title and the poetic text in Yati al-Aashiqoun Ilaik (The Lovers Come to You), a poetry collection by Muhammad al-Fayturi. The study is conducted through two approaches: first, by exploring the possible connections between the collection’s main title and the titles of its individual poems; and second, by investigating the semantic fields of the title’s vocabulary within the poems of the collection. The analysis also extends to what we call the “narrow text,” namely, the title at the level of the poem’s own structure—whether the poem consists of a single title divided into several numbered sections, or into multiple segments separated by visual semiotic markers.

Examining the Factors Affecting Classroom Interaction in the (EFL) Libyan Context
type: item
description: This article examines factors affecting classroom interaction in the Libyan EFL context, emphasizing its vital role in language acquisition. Interaction is defined as the real-time correspondence between teacher and students. Establishing a positive classroom atmosphere is crucial for student progress, largely dependent on the teacher's role. The article is divided into three sections. The first defines interaction, discusses various interaction types and their advantages and disadvantages, and outlines the roles of both teachers and learners in creating opportunities for language acquisition. The second section presents key factors influencing classroom interaction and student progress, selected for the Libyan context but potentially applicable to other EFL settings. The third section discusses specific characteristics of classroom interaction that teachers can employ to foster a positive environment, enabling students to develop their interactive performance. The study argues that awareness of these elements is essential for enhancing the effectiveness of EFL classroom interaction.

Public Secondary Schools in Al Bayda: A Study of Spatial Distribution and Adequacy Levels by Locality
type: item
description: This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of public secondary schools in Al-Bayda city and to assess their adequacy and geographic equity in meeting the population’s needs. The research employed an integrated methodology combining descriptive and quantitative analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial statistical tools, such as the Average Nearest Neighbor, Standard Distance, and Directional Distribution. Data were collected from multiple sources, including Google Earth Pro, to establish an accurate spatial database. The results revealed significant disparities in the spatial distribution of schools, with 54.55% concentrated in the Al-Ghreeqa district, while areas such as Al-Bayda West and the Old Zawiya suffered from a complete absence of secondary schools. Statistical analysis indicated that the distribution pattern is dispersed and non-random, with a clear concentration in the central and eastern parts of the city, reflecting a deficiency in geographic equity and affecting accessibility to educational services. The study also highlighted the need to reconsider and redesign the spatial distribution of schools to accommodate population growth and future educational requirements.

A study of the manuscript "Training the Learner on Ladder Logic" by Rahuma bin Muhammad al-Sari
type: item
description: This research examines a manuscript by one of the Libyan scholars, Sheikh Rahoma Muhammad al-Sari, entitled "Training the Learner on the Logic of the Ladder." In it, the author provides a detailed explanation of the text "The Ladder of the Ladder" by the scholar Abu Zayd Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-Saghir al-Akhdari, which deals with the science of logic.

The Impact of the Maxim ‘Conduct toward Subjectsis Contingent upon Public Interest’ in Contemporary Islamic Political Jurisprudence
type: item
description: Public interest serves as a well-defined guiding principle employed by rulers, politicians, and leaders in governing the affairs of the nation and ensuring its welfare. From this standpoint, the jurists of Islamic law formulated the legal maxim stating that “the ruler’s actions toward his people are contingent upon the public interest.” This maxim is, in fact, one of the most important principles in the field of Islamic governance (al-siyāsah al-sharʿiyyah), as it constitutes the foundation for deriving rulings on newly emerging issues and unprecedented cases for which there is no explicit text in the Qur’an or the Sunnah. Contemporary legal systems contain numerous applications rooted in this very principle, such as the expropriation of private property for public benefit, and the presumption of criminal intent in certain types of crimes.

Imam Malik's approach to citing the etiquette of the people of Medina and Imam al-Shafi'i's criticism of it
type: item
description: This study examines a fundamental jurisprudential disagreement between two prominent methodological approaches in Islamic legal theory: Imam Mālik’s reliance on the practice of the people of Madinah as an independent source of legislation, and Imam al-Shāfiʿī’s critique of that principle. The study aims to define the concept of the practice of the people of Madinah, present the evidences cited by Imam Mālik, and analyze the reasons that led him to prioritize it over solitary reports (khabar) due to its practical connection to transmitted Sunnah and its communal continuity, which lends it strength in authenticity and indication. The study also explores the legal foundations adopted by Imam al-Shāfiʿī and highlights his rejection of considering the practice of the people of Madinah as an independent proof. He maintains that such practice is only valid if it reveals an established evidence from the Qur’an, Sunnah, or consensus, and should not be preferred over solitary reports

University Students’ Reliance on Artificial Intelligence Tools and Its Relationship with Academic Achievement and Analytical Thinking
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the extent to which students in the scientific faculties at the University of Derna rely on artificial intelligence (AI) tools and to analyze their relationship with academic achievement and analytical thinking. The study employed a descriptive-analytical correlational approach and was conducted on a sample of 209 students using a questionnaire consisting of two axes: the use of AI tools and faculty members’ attitudes toward this usage. The instrument’s validity and reliability were verified and reviewed by experts. Findings revealed that students’ use of AI tools reached 57.9%, indicating a high level of utilization, with statistically significant differences based on specialization but not on GPA. Results also showed a strong positive correlation between the use of AI tools and students’ analytical thinking. Faculty members emphasized the importance of using such tools under academic supervision and educational guidance. The study recommends directing students toward responsible and conscious use of AI, while enhancing the role of faculty members in guiding and monitoring this process to strengthen analytical thinking and academic achievement.

Difficulties Encountered by Libyan EFL Students to Speak English Fluently: The Case of the Fourth-Year Students, English Department, Omar Al-Mukhtar University
type: item
description: Fluency remains a major challenge for many Libyan students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), particularly at the university level. Despite years of English instruction, many students struggle to express themselves fluently and confidently, which negatively affects their academic performance and future career prospects. This study investigates the psychological and educational factors influencing oral English fluency among 29 fourth-year Libyan EFL students at Omar Al-Mukhtar University (OMU) in Al-Bayda City. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative and qualitative data collected through a questionnaire and classroom observations. The results were analyzed and presented using percentages. The findings indicate that no single factor alone significantly affects students’ oral fluency; rather, fluency is shaped by the interaction of multiple factors. Educational factors include student absenteeism, lecturer-dominated classrooms, limited vocabulary knowledge, grammatical errors, reliance on the mother tongue, insufficient English practice, classroom activities, and instructional resources. Psychological factors include fear of making mistakes, introverted personality traits, low motivation, and lack of self-confidence.

The Political, Economic, and Scientific Impacts of the Ghuzz Tribes' Rebellion in Khurasan (548-552 AH / 1153-1157 AD)
type: item
description: The rebellion of the Ghuzz tribes contributed to a shift in the political balance, especially after Sultan Sanjar and his advisors failed to unite in confronting their criminal actions. The psychological nature of these tribes emerged clearly in their defiance of authority and their role in inciting sedition. The rebellion also led to a deterioration in economic conditions, widespread famine, and mass migration due to violence and killings. Furthermore, scholars and jurists clashed with the Ghuzz over their actions, which contradicted both religious doctrine and knowledge. Despite religious admonitions and sincere counsel, the Ghuzz were not deterred from their wrongdoing and crimes.

Migration and Agricultural Dynamics in the Tafrata Plain: Relationships, Repercussions, and Challenges for Rural Development
type: item
description: The phenomenon of migration is considered one of the problems of the current era. The increasing growth of migration in its various forms has prompted a group of researchers to investigate the factors that drive human groups to move outside their geographical area. This spatial mobility is no longer limited to movement from one place to another; rather, it has begun to affect multiple levels, particularly the agricultural level, which in turn impacts the socio-spatial and economic structure of the original rural community. These effects are particularly evident in areas suffering from social fragility. This study examines migration and agricultural dynamics in the Tafrata Plain in northeastern Morocco, shedding light on the relationships and interactions between them and their implications for socio-spatial and economic transformations and the organization of the rural area in general.

Comma Placement Challenges Faced by Undergraduate Translation Students When Translating from English to Arabic: A Case Study at Omar El-Mokhtar University
type: item
description: This study examines the challenges faced by undergraduate translation students at Omar El-Mokhtar University in placing commas when translating from English into Arabic. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzed students’ performance on a translation task and collected supplementary data through a structured questionnaire. The quantitative results revealed notable difficulties: only 35% of students correctly used commas in non-restrictive clauses, while 28% applied serial commas appropriately. Overall, 42% of translations contained comma-related errors that affected clarity. Questionnaire findings showed that 78% of students had only partial awareness of English comma rules, and 65% reported low to moderate confidence in applying them. Major challenges included handling comma placement in complex sentences, transferring punctuation rules to Arabic, and distinguishing between different comma functions. Despite recognizing the importance of punctuation for translation quality, many students relied on intuition rather than formal rules. The study highlights the need for greater pedagogical emphasis on contrastive punctuation to enhance translation accuracy and coherence.

The multifaceted role of Andalusian judges through the lens of Al-Muraqaba al-‘Ulya fīman Yastaḥiq al-Qaḍāʾ wa-l-Futyā by Abū al-Ḥasan al-Nabāhī
type: item
description: This study examines the multifaceted role of Andalusian judges through the lens of Al-Muraqaba al-‘Ulya fīman Yastaḥiq al-Qaḍāʾ wa-l-Futyā by Abū al-Ḥasan al-Nabāhī. It explores their contributions across three key domains: scientific, social, and economic. Scientifically, the judges engaged in teaching, authorship, scholarly travel, and intellectual debate. Socially, they combated heresies and moral corruption, contributed to charitable efforts, supervised endowments and orphan affairs, and promoted virtue through public guidance. Economically, they played a role in regulating markets, managing public resources, and responding to economic crises through religious leadership and legal rulings. The study adopts a narrative-analytical approach and relies primarily on al-Nabāhī’s work, alongside other biographical sources. It concludes that the Andalusian judge was not merely a legal functionary, but a scholar, reformer, and social guide who exercised substantial influence in all aspects of public life.

The Role of Marvelous Characters in Al-Faqih's Novels
type: item
description: This study explores the role of marvelous characters in shaping the narrative events in the works of the author Al-Faqih, and how their presence enriched the narrative structure, while also investigating their origins. The research's significance stems from offering a fresh perspective on Al-Faqih's literary output, highlighting the marvelous world—a prominent artistic theme in his literature that has not received sufficient in-depth study. Furthermore, this research connects Al-Faqih's work to Arab and local heritage, contributing to the revival of aspects of this tradition. The study reveals the interconnectedness of these characters: jinn are linked to sorcerers as their servants, and some Muslim jinn aid righteous saints. These characters are also connected to transformed beings, as jinn, by means of sorcerers, often transform humans into animals, while righteous saints restore the transformed to their original forms. Marvelous characters are also associated with animals; certain animals are sought as offerings for sorcerers or to expel evil spirits. Al-Faqih masterfully utilized these characters to create a marvelous narrative that evokes anxiety and confusion, transporting the reader from the familiar to the extraordinary.

"Preliminary Report on the Training Excavations at the Balagrae Settlement During the Spring Seasons of 2018 and 2019."
type: item
description: This report deals with the archaeological training excavations at the Balaghrai site during the spring 2018 and spring 2019 seasons, the purpose of which was to train the students of the Department of Archaeology on scientific archaeological detection, and how to document the archaeological objects and architectural structures revealed by the excavation work, according to the methodology of single-content excavation, and to train them on documentation by writing, drawing and photographing, which resulted in Writing these two reports documenting the architectural structures, archaeological deposits, collecting finds such as pottery and coins, trying to date them, and linking them with the revealed walls and architectural structures and the stratigraphic sequence represented in Trench H2, and comparing them with what was found in previous excavations, especially the excavations of Sidi Akhrebesh, we concluded from this that the site of these excavations reflects the historical periods from the beginning of the first century BC to the fifth century AD. This site also shows the stages of recovery during the first century to the middle of the second century AD, and the relapse by monitoring the natural disasters represented by the earthquake of 262 AD and the devastating earthquake that occurred in 365 AD, then the continuation of settlement after the middle of the fourth century until the middle of the seventh century AD.

Similarities and differences between the architectural elements of Byzantine churches in the Cyrenaica region
type: item
description: This study deals with the church buildings that were built in the Cyrenaica region during the Byzantine Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries AD. These buildings are considered early examples of churches. This study relied on excavation reports and archaeological surveys conducted on churches that had not been excavated. The research methodology was to compare the architectural elements in these buildings and the building materials techniques. The results of this research are that the building materials were local, except for the marble and wood used in the ceilings, which were imported from the Mediterranean basin. The mosaic floors inside the churches were most likely laid by technicians who came from outside the region and trained the local church technicians. Also, the number of churches built east of Wadi al-Kuf were more than those built west of it. It can be concluded from the size of the rural churches and the amount of decoration in them that the economic situation in the region was prosperous during the fifth and sixth centuries AD.

Date Palm Cultivation in the Jaghbub Oasis: Prerequisites and Obstacles, 2023
type: item
description: This study is based on an attempt to shed light on palm cultivation in the Jaghbub Oasis and to identify the prerequisites that contribute to this and to identify some of the obstacles that negatively affect it, the most important of which is the absence of government support for this craft with the farmer's inability to cover the costs of cultivation in light of his limited income, which resulted in the neglect of palm trees and thus they became vulnerable to diseases and pests that spread corruption in the palm tree As for the climatic factors in the oasis, they are considered among the most important factors that positively affect palm cultivation. From this standpoint, the study recommends greater attention to the agricultural sector and appropriate support from the government to make the palm tree one of the most important economic resources in the country, especially since the palm fruit has a very great nutritional value.

The Party Conflict in Cyrene during the Republican Era and its Effects on the Region
type: item
description: The Greek cities in Greece witnessed a development in their political systems. Some of them had a system that moved from monarchy to aristocracy to democracy, as happened in the city of Athens. Others had systems whose development was limited only to the king and the aristocrats, i.e. a monarchy-aristocracy, as happened in the city of Sparta. The city of Cyrene in Libya inherited this political development in its constitutions from monarchy to aristocratic and democratic, then returned again to the rule of aristocrats only. This development was caused by the political parties and the conflict between them, which had a great impact on the future of the city of Cyrene and its region. The political development in the city-state of Cyrene was limited to the transition from monarchy to aristocratic rule, while the democratic system failed miserably in managing the city's governance, unlike the aristocrats who had political experience. This research relied on the narrative, analytical, and comparative approaches.
