Abstract:
In this paper, the assertion of cross-culture in the American literature is studied and put for discussion. Aside from the inspiration of the American writers of the Arabian Nights, the inspiration of the Arabian Culture is inspired as well. O. Henry is given as an example in his short story “A Madison square Arabian Night”. The first part of this research is going to highlight the importance of the Arabian Nights in the American literature. It tries to give a brief idea about the Arabian nights and according to this it is divided into five parts to give enough information as possible about these nights. The first part includes the understanding of the Arabian nights from different perspectives those found in some encyclopaedias, like the Encyclopaedia Americana, the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Encyclopaedia of Islam. For the necessity of historical background about the contents of the Arabian Nights, the paper deals with the authorship of the stories of the Arabian nights and the contents which includes a short summary of the story of the Arabian nights. A general idea about the origins of the thousand nights and a night is widely explained. The last part is dedicated to stereotype something about the influence of the Arabian nights on the other literatures. O. Henry wrote most of his major works in short story. Thus the short story is the most outstanding literary genre in this age and its explanation has a space in this paper in the sense that it gives a comparison between Baghdad and New York from O. Henry’s point of view. This paper deals with his major work A Madison Square Arabian Night since it is the work in which a very clear example of comparison between Baghdad and New York is composed. His thesis in this story reveals the cross-cultural dialogue and his tendency towards the orientalism.

Abstract:
The Arabian Nights is among the best known and least known of the world’s great classics. We’ve all heard of it, and may even remember a tale or two from our childhood story books (“Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, or “Aladdin”). But the unabridged, unexpurgated 1001 Nights is a massive work: a dozen volumes, thousands of pages. Not a quick or an easy read. Also, the stories it contains were meant to be performed by a professional storyteller; like most performance literature, they can seem pretty lifeless when pinned to the page.

Abstract:
It is difficult to lose a good story. Many of the best folk tales transcend the boundaries of language and nationality, and the Gilgamesh Epic, attested in Human, Hittite, Elamite and Akkadian cuneiform, is no exception. The latest Akkadian tablets to be inscribed with the story come from the site of Uruk of the late Babylonian period, some time after the fall of Babylon in 539 B.C. and perhaps as late as the Seleurid period, after the reign of Alexander the Great. The story had been popular for some two thousand years. Despite this popularity in so many countries and for such a very long period of time, the story of Gilgamesh was supposed to have died more or less with the death of cuneiform writing, although some residual themes were recognised in various versions of the Alexander Romance.

Abstract:
An Exploration and Celebration of Storytelling: Directing the Arabian Nights, explores my directorial practice and the challenges presented in staging The Arabian Nights as part of the UBC Department of Theatre and Film’s season at the Frederic Wood Theatre, March 17 – April 2, 2016. As presented in the following pages, my primary objective was to present a wholly entertaining, clearly directed production of The Arabian Nights by Mary Zimmerman. My practice explored the process of directing a large cast through a variety of disciplines including dance, live music, physical theatre, monologue and ensemble based storytelling. I believe that the combination of all of these disciplines can have a tremendously powerful empathetic effect on an audience while communicating clearly the story and the intentions of the playwright. I also explored the process of working with a Sound Designer to create a live musical score for the production. A particular challenge was working on a text translated from the tales of a different culture. Through the process of research, consultation and collaboration, I was able to better understand the challenges, pit-falls and rewards on working on this type of project. In the process of these explorations, I was able to engage with different aspects of theatre directing than I have in the past, expanding my theoretical and practical vocabulary towards my practice of directing theatre. This thesis includes my director’s preparation of the script, the journal chronicling my production process, production photos and a chapter containing my reflections on the experience in its entirety.

Abstract:
The Arabian Nights has been present in the literature of the West since the beginning of the eighteenth century and the translation of Antoine Galland in 1704. Critics have identified its stories in the work of a wide variety of Western writers, most notably, William Beckford, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Alfred Tennyson, W. M. Thackeray, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Edgar Allan Poe, Gustave Flaubert, Stendhal, Goethe, Alexandre Dumas, Marcel Proust, Leo Tolstoy, Jorge Luis Borges, A. S. Byatt, and Marina Warner. However, relatively little has been said about the implications of The Arabian Nights for modern and modernist writers from James Joyce to Jean Rhys. Even less has been written on the relationship between the ancient epic and the emergence of the modern short story form. Focusing on the work of three short fiction writers who published on the cusp of modernism: Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, and Joseph Conrad, this thesis explores the place of The Arabian Nights in the emergence of modern short fiction in Britain. My study is not an attempt to trace the origins of The Arabian Nights as it features in modern short fiction. The project is more centrally concerned with how The Arabian Nights allows us to re-read the modern short story rather than the other way round. This thesis is less concerned with The Arabian Nights per se, than it is with how The Arabian Nights has been borrowed, taken up, appropriated, translated, adopted and adapted within a specific strand of modern short fiction published between 1877 and 1899. The borrowings I consider are both conscious and unconscious, casual and sustained, and it is not the aim of the thesis to trace back ‘Arabian Nights’ allusions to a precise origin, assuming such a thing were possible. Rather this thesis is more interested in The Arabian Nights as a recurring intertext of the short story. If, as I will argue, both The Arabian Nights and the modern short story have their origins in the oral tale, their intimacy also needs to be explained within the context of modern print culture. The turn of the century periodical incorporated and propagated tastes for exotic tales of the East for metropolitan audiences, a fact which undoubtedly informed the short fiction of Stevenson, Wilde and Conrad. Those same periodicals were looking to the past as much as the present, outwards as much as inwards. This is perhaps also true of the modern short story itself, which does not merely embrace the modern and embody it in short print forms, but also looks to the elongated oral tales associated with the likes of The Arabian Nights. Stevenson, Wilde, and Conrad represent a particularly concentrated response to The Arabian Nights at the turn of the century, when the modern short story in Britain was in its infancy. Through these writers, my study works to relocate the modern British short story (which I argue has been too readily restricted to the confines of England and Europe), within a broader transnational frame.

Abstract:
Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a utilização da noção de adab ( ), no \"Livro das Mil e Uma Noites\". Dividido em três capítulos, no primeiro deles tentamos recuperar, através de diferentes estudos dedicados ao tema, a evolução e a variedade de usos desse termo ao longo dos séculos. Essa abordagem visa, sobretudo, mostrar a dificuldade de fixar-se uma definição precisa para o termo, devido ao vasto corpus de adab e a variedade de assuntos que aborda. Num segundo momento, foi observada a presença do termo adab nas narrativas do chamado \"ramo sírio\" do Livro das Mil e Uma Noites. Essa observação teve como ponto de partida a advertência, contida em seu preâmbulo, de que suas histórias estariam \"plenas de adab. Tomando como referência os elementos associados ao termo neste preâmbulo fizemos um levantamento das formas de sua ocorrência e, em seguida, passamos a explorar de maneira mais detalhada sua função através da análise de uma narrativa em particular. Assim, encerramos o trabalho com a análise da história O segundo dervixe ( ), onde a presença desse termo é importante no desenvolvimento da trama. Dando destaque aos momentos da história onde o termo adab se faz presente, efetuou-se a sistematização e a análise de seus significados, enfatizando-se a representação feita por ela da figura do adb ( , o possuidor de adab).
This work aims to analyze the use of the concept of \'adab in the Arabic cycle of narratives known as \"Arabian Nights\". Divided into three chapters, the first of them try to recover, through different studies devoted to the subject, the evolution and variety of uses of the term throughout the centuries. This approach aims, mainly, to show the difficulty of a precise definition for the term, due to the vast corpus of \'adab and the variety of subjects it covers. Secondly, the presence of the word \'adab was observed in the narratives of the \"Syrian branch\" of the \"Book of the Thousand and One Nights\". This observation had as its starting point the warning contained in its preamble, that their stories were \"full of \'adab.\" Taking as reference the elements associated with the term in this preamble, we did a survey of the forms of their occurrence and then, we explore in more detail its function through the analysis of one specific narrative. Thus we closed the work with the analysis of the story \"The second dervish\", where the presence of this term is very important in the development of the plot. Highlighting the moments in history where the term \'adab is present, we performed the systematization and analysis of their meaning, emphasizing how it represents the figure of the \'adib (the possessor of \'adab).

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to shed light on how contemporary Egyptian culture is represented in video games. Egypt, being part of the Middle East, and given its ancient history, has become subject to many stereotypes and tropes and falling into the realm of Orientalism. This thesis builds on previous works concerning representations of the Middle East, focusing on the representation of contemporary Egypt. In light of the problematic nature of stereotypes and Orientalism towards the Othering of the minorities, I conducted a close reading of two games depicting Egypt, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 from a western perspective and The Race 2: The Last Chase from a native perspective, comparing them in the process, to highlight the different approaches native and non-native designers used in their representation of contemporary Egypt. The analysis shows that the American game, although it tried to give an “accurate” representation of Egypt by modeling a close replica of the Ramses Station in Cairo, still managed to use Orientalist visuals and stereotypical elements in its depiction. On the other hand, the Egyptian game relied on everyday life aspects and references relating to the native. Finally, I suggest a few guidelines for game designers wanting to achieve respectful representation to follow to avoid alienation of the represented Other.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation stands at the intersection between human rights, contemporary postcolonial literature, and medieval folkloric texts, specifically the One Thousand and One Nights, also known as the Nights, by an unknown author. The Nights was first translated to French by Antoine Galland, when it appeared as a series from 1704 to 1715. This was followed by subsequent English translations and other translations into many other languages. Today, the Nights continues to captivate the world’s literary imagination. The dissertation focuses on selected popular textual and visual human rights narratives published from 1994 to 2014. These narratives are by celebrated human rights artists and authors from different parts of the globe: they are both non-Western and Western, but all have spent a significant portion of their personal lives and careers preoccupied by rights and social justice issues, both locally and universally. I focus on the following texts: Dreams of Trespass: Tales of A Harem Girlhood (1994) by Moroccan author and feminist Fatima Mernissi; Women Without Men (2009) by the exiled Iranian artist and director Shirin Neshat; Women Without Men by exiled and celebrated Iranian novelist called Shahrnush Parispur; Habibi (2011) by novelist Craig Thompson; and The Dream of Shahrazad (2014) by Emmy-Award-winning South African documentary film maker/director François Verster. The varied texts tackle human rights issues such as colonization, wars, human trafficking, rape, violence, torture, women’s subjection, environmental justice; freedom of speech and movement; forms of classism; and racism. I attempt to explore how and why these works are employing the Nights’ narrative model, as well as its formal and aesthetic aspects, to enable modern human rights narratives. While the direct connection to the Nights is obvious, I also trace obscure references to the Nights’ stories, genres, and themes. I focus on how “The Story of King Shahryar and Shahrazad” and its plot about storytelling to heal and save lives interplays with a modern sense of rights issues such as violence, genocide, trauma, healing, and legal appeals for justice. I offer a reading of the Nights’ stories referenced in each work to theorize why human rights artists and authors include them directly or obscurely within their narratives. I conclude that these stories from the Nights were chosen for their themes of social justice, discrimination, trauma, torture, judicial discourse, and feminist empowerment. I also conclude that contemporary human rights artists and authors incorporate elements from the Nights in intertextual ways that enable them to construct currently applicable allegories of human rights advocacy.

Abstract:
One Thousand and One Nights, which can be traced back to as early as the 9th century, is probably the greatest introduction to Arabic culture through literature. This colossal and diverse book has drawn the attention of scholars, researchers and students to classic Arabic literature as well as influenced many prominent authors and filmmakers. It is not just a book of careless and unconnected stories but rather a piece of esteemed literature which has been read and analysed in many countries all over the world. However, it is also true that this book has been criticised for its sexual promiscuity and degraded portrayal of women. The aim of the presentation is to prove that underneath the clumsy and seemingly funny structures of One Thousand and One Nights, there is a description of overflowing sexuality. Through the sexualised or erotic description of female bodies, the book gives agency to women but at the same time depicts them derogatively, and thus fulfils the naked desire of the then patriarchal society. The presentation will highlight how sexual promiscuity or fathomless female sexual craving is portrayed through figurative and grammatical language, which objectifies the female characters but at the same time enables them to be playful with the male characters, and thus motivates them to become more powerful than the males. Finally. the presentation will focus on language or narrative as an act of survival from the perspectives of the female characters, which is most evident in the case of Scheherazade who saved not only her life but also lives of countless maidens by her mesmerizing storytelling talent.

Abstract:
Cooling load is the energy needed to be removed from a space by a cooling system to provide the desired level of comfort. Large space load requires high energy from the cooling system. A new technique of reducing the cooling load using condensate to pre-cool air stream entering the evaporator of a vapor compression air-conditioning system is presented in this paper. In a cooling process, water vapor condensation normally occurs when the evaporator coil surface temperature becomes lower than the dew point temperature of the humid air entering the evaporator. The cooling process results in appreciable amount of condensate in climatic conditions with high relative humidity and temperature such as those in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The rate of condensate yield is calculated using actual climate data of three typical summer days of Dhahran area for the months of June, July and August. These months are the most humid and hottest during the year. Each month is represented by a typical day determined by the average of the three hottest and humid days during the same months of the past three years. It is found that the condensate obtained during night time is more than the day time because of the high relative humidity at night. The results indicate that the cooling load can be reduced up to 10 % when the air entering the evaporator is pre-cooled by 4 °C using the condensate. In addition, the daily condensate yields from the evaporator coil in June, July and August are 1.27, 0.92 and 1.31 kg/kW-CDD, respectively.

The gravity survey was conducted as a pilot case study to explore part of Dammam Dome in greater detail. Gravity data were collected solely during night hours due to low noise levels. A significant part of the survey was conducted during the summer holiday period, , when there was no student are on campus. A total of 235 gravity measurements were made using a Scintrex CG5 gravitometer, while a Trimble R10+ differential GPS (DGPS) was used to measure the stations’ location and elevation with the highest accuracy. All gravity data were reduced using several algorithms, and their outcomes were cross-compared. The Complete Bouguer anomaly map for the campus was then generated. Several enhancement filters including edged detection and shallow to deeper source separation were applied. Data were inverted, and 2.5D and 3D models were created to image the subsurface conditions. The main purpose of this study is to better understand the subsurface geology, tectonic settings of the Dammam Dome by applying the high-resolution gravity method before carrying out any comprehensive geophysical (seismic) 3D survey.

Abstract:
Geothermal energy is the heat energy stored in the subsurface of the Earth due to the decay of radioactive elements within the mantle and the crust (Schubert et al., 1980). This energy is continuously produced, making it a sustainable and renewable energy source (Owusu and Asumadu-Sarkodie, 2016). One of the key advantages of geothermal energy is its capacity to provide baseload power that can be run constantly to fulfill the energy demands of any society, making it a dependable and persistent source of energy. Unlike other renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, geothermal energy, it is not affected by weather or daylight and can supply a consistent source of electricity day and night. Saudi Arabia possesses significant geothermal resources along of western boundary for both volcanic and non-volcanic geothermal systems (Chandrasekharam et al., 2014; Lashin et al., 2014; Al-Douri et al.,2019; Abu-Mahfouz et al., 2023). One of the potential geothermal areas is in Jizan, Southwestern Saudi Arabia (Hussein et al., 2013; Chandrasekharam et al., 2016; Arrofi and Abu-Mahfouz, 2023). Despite the fact that Jizan has a medium-high enthalpy system, it is largely underutilized. One of the most prevalent challenges encountered during exploitation is a low permeability reservoir to allow fluid circulation. However, it can be addressed by undertaking a detailed study of characterizing natural fractures both in the surface and subsurface. Natural fractures might enhance fluid circulation and permeability, making geothermal extraction a more viable option (Arrofi et al., 2022; Viswanathan et al., 2022; Abu-Mahfouz et al., 2023). It is crucial to investigate the distribution, orientation, and connectivity of fractures in geothermal systems. In the Al-Ardah geothermal field, located in Jizan, hydrothermal fluid is believed to flow from the eastern region, following the dip direction of the regional faults, and discharge on the western side (Arrofi et al., 2023). The reservoir area is indicated to be in the eastern region of Al-Ardah within the granitic rock (Fig. 1). Additionally, the granitic rock in the Al-Ardah area had undergone significant alteration due to intense interaction with the thermal water (Lashin and Al Arifi, 2014). It also suggests that the reservoir is located in the eastern part of the hot springs area. This study aims to characterize fractures and investigate fluid flow in the eastern part of Al-Ardah, Jizan, using an outcrop analogue (see the study location in Fig. 1).
