Sustainable Manufacturing: The Role of Additive Technologies in Waste Reduction
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is transforming modern manufacturing by significantly reducing material waste while enabling highly efficient production processes. Unlike conventional subtractive manufacturing methods—such as cutting, drilling, and milling—which remove excess material and generate large volumes of scrap, AM constructs objects layer by layer, depositing material only where required. This precise material placement minimizes waste generation and supports resource-efficient production, making AM a critical technology for sustainable industrial development. Beyond waste …

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 …
