Trauma of Survival and the Politics of Memory in Emile Habiby's The Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist
Abstract: Emile Habiby’s the Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist (1974) presents one of the most innovative and politically complex literary responses to the Palestinian Nakba and its enduring consequences. Through a distinctive fusion of satire, irony, absurdity, political allegory, and fragmented narration, Habiby departs from conventional representations of trauma and resistance. Rather than portraying Palestinian survival as a heroic or triumphant process of recovery, the novel presents survival as an …

Magnetic Metal–Polymer Composites with Ferromagnetic Particle Networks for EMI Shielding in Flexible Electronics
Abstract: The rapid expansion of flexible and wearable electronic systems has intensified the demand for lightweight, mechanically compliant materials capable of effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. In this study, magnetic metal–polymer composites with magnetically aligned ferromagnetic particle networks were developed and systematically investigated for EMI shielding in flexible electronics. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was employed as an elastomeric polymer matrix due to its excellent flexibility, dielectric characteristics, and compatibility with particulate fillers. …

Multilingual Education and Language Policy in a Globalized World: Toward Inclusive and Equitable Learning Systems
Abstract: Multilingual education involves teaching and learning in two or more languages, promoting linguistic diversity and enhancing educational outcomes. It acknowledges learners’ native languages and integrates them with dominant or global languages to foster inclusivity and cognitive development. Multilingual education (MLE) serves as a critical framework for promoting inclusivity and equity within increasingly globalized and culturally diverse classrooms. This paper explores the role of MLE and the influence of language policies …

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Multi-Objective Optimization of Agricultural Biomass-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Agricultural biomass can reduce the environmental burden of polymer composites, yet its heterogeneous structure creates competing effects on strength, moisture resistance, density, and process ability. This study developed an artificial intelligence-assisted framework for balanced composite formulation. Experimental data of agricultural biomass reinforced polymer composites were gathered, harmonized and validated using leakage-controlled validation. The mechanical and physical properties were predicted by artificial neural networks and conventional regression models. Explainable analysis gave …

An Explicit Approach to Compare Crosstalk Noise and Delay in VLSI RLC Interconnect Modeled with Skin Effect with Step and Ramp Input
Abstract: As the technology is acquiring frequency of the Giga-hertz range noise and delay calculations andavoidance of such factors in VLSI interconnects have become dominant to be considered. This paperrepresents a comparison between the crosstalk noise voltage level measured when the RLC on-chipinterconnect was modeled when the skin effect was considered under step input and the crosstalk voltagemeasured when the RLC line was modeled with skin effect under ramp input. In …

Unveiling Actionable Pathogenic Genes for Precision Oncology in Brain Cancers: Glioblastoma and Astrocytoma
Abstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) and astrocytoma are aggressive primary brain tumors characterized by significant molecular heterogeneity, complicating effective treatment. This study employed targeted next-generation sequencing of 529 cancer-associated genes on matched tumor-normal pairs from GBM and astrocytoma patients. Somatic variants were identified using a rigorous bioinformatic pipeline adhering to GATK Best Practices, with variant allele frequencies (VAF) calculated to assess clonal dominance. Functional annotation and driver mutation classification were performed using Ensemble …
