Title: The Untold Story of the Golan Heights: Occupation, Colonization and Jawlani Resistance
Authors: Dajani, Muna; Fakher Eldin, Munir; Mason, Michael
Abstract: This book is a collaborative project that aims to record and analyze the ways in which the Syrian community in the occupied Golan Heights resisted Israeli occupation and annexation and preserved its sense of Syrian identity. The book is multidisciplinary and includes theoretical framings of state and capitalist power, and popular politics. It also includes rich in ethnographic material and reflections by activists and students from the Golan and Palestine. BZU scholars and MA students contributed to the book along colleagues from LSE and the Golan Heights.2022-01-01T00:00:00ZExploring the potential of design thinking as an approach for exhibit development: the case study of the “Motion and Stillness” science exhibition

Title: Exploring the potential of design thinking as an approach for exhibit development: the case study of the “Motion and Stillness” science exhibition
Authors: Muhtaseb, Rami; Burqan, Heba
Abstract: This paper investigates the opportunities offered to exhibit developers by implementing a design thinking approach in developing science exhibitions. It uses the development of the “Motion and Stillness” science exhibition as a case study. In drawing on reflections on the exhibition development process and a subsequent practical training program, the paper proposes an exhibit development model that embeds stages of design thinking into exhibit development. Design thinking can have a noticeable impact on the exhibit development process by fostering its iterative nature and helping museums and science centers to move towards a visitor-oriented approach. It also suggests embedding some design thinking methods, such as the divergent and convergent thinking, could foster the formative aspect of the exhibit development process.

Abstract: The sustainable management of slaughterhouse wastewater calls for feasible treatment technologies to protect the environment and public wastewater treatment facilities. The technology of an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket provides an adequate procedural condition for the reduction of carbonaceous matter from the high organic wastewater resulting from the slaughterhouses. The scope of this research included a rapid review of current treatment technologies for slaughterhouse wastewaters and an investigation of the treatment efficiency of an aerobic stage after a pre-anaerobic treatment in a batch system. A batch reactor system of 1 m3 volume with a mixer was developed. The anaerobic stage of the batch reactor was initiated using 400 L of fresh slaughterhouse wastewater mixed with 40 L of primary sludge. Three samples from the anaerobic batch reactor were collected at a 10 d interval and then five samples were collected from the reactor after being under the aerobic condition at a 4 d interval. The removal efficiency of biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and PO4 was 25%, 62%, 42%, and 9% in 30 d, respectively. After the start of the aeration system, the removal efficiency was improved up to 94%, 69%, and 93%, respectively, except for PO4 which showed high variations within the sampling periods.

Abstract: Mucormycosis is a fulminant and rapidly progressing fungal infection associated with a high mortality rate. Mucormycosis is primarily seen in immunocompromised patients, especially those with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM), and recently in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.2022-01-01T00:00:00Z
