Full textAbstract:
Using Yemen as a case study, this medical anthropological dissertation examines experiences of serious illnesses and injuries in developing countries that lack the financial and medical capabilities to treat them. Yemeni patients suffering from cancer and other complicated conditions must currently go abroad to pursue advanced medical care. Despite the great cost, medical travellers are from all social classes. The dissertation draws on multi-sited and multi-locale research to explore hardships that result when medical possibilities, and awareness of them, surpass financial abilities. I situate the international medical travel of Yemeni patients and family members in a global context. This highlights both worldwide commonalities surrounding sophisticated medical technology, and specifics related to Yemen as a developing country with its particular historical and cultural context. In this study, I employed an array of methods: interviews with Yemeni medical travellers in India and Jordan, participant observation in Yemen's central hospital, scourings of Yemen's Arabic newspapers from the first half of the 20th century, and open-ended surveys with doctors, religious scholars, and members of the Yemeni Parliament. Data sources are interwoven throughout the dissertation. Chapters parallel the various steps that patients and family members take throughout their medical journeys. In the conclusion, I argue that medicine should not be viewed as a consumer good for the market to regulate. In pursuing and providing high-tech medicine, patients and their families fulfill moral, social, and familial obligations.

Full textAbstract:
Il seguente elaborato di tesi si propone di analizzare il linguaggio mediatico utilizzato nel descrivere le notizie inerenti alla distruzione del patrimonio culturale yemenita.
Il conflitto attuale in Yemen ha visto le forze dei ribelli Huthi, nella loro avanzata verso Sud con l’obiettivo della conquista del Paese, schierarsi con le forze dell’ex presidente ‘Abdallah Saleh, un tempo nemiche. A questa alleanza si oppone il presidente ‘Abd Rabbo Mansur Hadi, supportato dalla Resistenza popolare del Sud e, soprattutto, dall’Arabia Saudita, a guida di una Coalizione militare che, con l’annuncio dell’inizio dell’operazione “Decisive Storm” e la successiva “Restore Hope”, ha dato il via ad una campagna militare di bombardamenti contro i siti conquistati dalle forze ribelli.
Tale contesto ha provocato, oltre a una crisi umanitaria senza precedenti, aggravatasi in maniera tale da divenire irreversibile nell’arco di pochi mesi, anche profonde devastazioni al ricco e multiforme patrimonio culturale yemenita.
Le notizie prese in esame riportano la distruzione dei luoghi-simbolo della civiltà e della storia yemenita; l’analisi linguistica delle notizie vuole mostrare da un lato in che modo esse siano soggette al punto di vista di chi li riporta, esito di determinate influenze politiche, dall’altra come spesso a uno stesso messaggio, proprio a causa di queste influenze, venga assegnato un peso diverso.

"The illegal targeting of healthcare in the Yemen armed conflict: A quantitative and qualitative content analysis of the experiences of humanitarian actors and the Yemeni population." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Teologiska institutionen, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-388911.
Full textAbstract:
The illegal targeting of healthcare in armed conflict is nothing new but its continuance and impunity at a time when the protection of it has formally never been higher, for instance through the UNSC Resolution 2286, motivated this study. Therefore, the thesis analyses how the illegal targeting of healthcare affect humanitarian actors operating in Yemen as well as the local population. How the population and humanitarian actors perceive and interpret the violent targeting of healthcare was explored as well. This study is based on a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 11 media outlets and 25 documents provided by humanitarian actors. As a theoretical framework the humanitarian principles, international humanitarian law and the politicisation of humanitarian aid were addressed. Moreover, securitization theory was used in order to explain how humanitarian actors securitize the targeting through language. The results show that consequences of the illegal targeting for humanitarian organisations are limited access to the field as well as the closing of facilities and withdrawal of staff due to security issues. For the Yemeni population consequences are a limited access to healthcare as well as a loss of trust in the safety of medical facilities and therefore they often take the decision to not seek medical care. The analysis shows that humanitarian actors present the illegal targeting as a threat to the survival of beneficiaries and connect this to their own organisational survival and through that securitize the illegal targeting.

Halliday, Fred. "Aspects of South Yemen's foreign policy, 1967-1982." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1985. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/430/.
Full textAbstract:
This study analyses the foreign relations of South Yemen (since 1970 the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen) from independence in 1967 until 1982. It covers the first four Presidencies of the post-independence period, with their attendant policy changes, and ends with the resolution of two of the more pressing foreign policy conflicts with which South Yemen was concerned, its support for the guerrillas in North Yemen, who were defeated in the spring of 1982, and its conflict with the Sultanate of Oman, with whom diplomatic relations were concluded in October 1982. Chapter One provides an outline of the background to South Yemen's foreign policy: the outcome of the independence movement itself and the resultant foreign policy orientations of the new government; the independence negotiations with Britain; and the manner in which, in the post-independence period, the ruling National Front sought to determine and develop its foreign policy. The remaining four chapters focus upon specific aspects of South Yemen's foreign policy that are, it is argued, of central importance. Chapter Two discusses relations with the West - with Britain, France, West Germany and the USA. It charts the pattern of continued economic ties with western European states, and the several political disputes which South Yemen had with them. Chapter Three discusses the issue of 'Yemeni Unity' - the reasons for the continued commitment to this goal, the policy of simultaneously supporting opposition in North Yemen and negotiating with the government there, and the course of policy on creating a unified Yemeni state. Chapter Four considers the attempt to promote revolution in Oman, relations with other states in the Arabian Peninsula and the gradual lessening of tensions between them and South Yemen. Chapter Five discusses relations with the USSR and China - the growth of military and economic links with Russia, the large but not complete area of PDRY-USSR political agreement, and the continued if sometimes tense relationship with China. The study ends with a brief Conclusion, suggesting some broader implications of South Yemen's foreign policy in this period.

Al-Shibami, Fuad Hamoud. "Thermal comfort and energy efficiency in Yemeni houses." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2004. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/12842/.
Full textAbstract:
The question posed in this thesis is: by incorporate traditional architecture forms and design features, can new housing provide thermal comfort without the need for excessive use of air- conditioning as is the case in current new building methods and designs. There has been some evidence that the new type of housing being built in the hot areas in Yemen has inherently produced unacceptable comfort conditions resulting in a greater use of air conditioning while the traditional housing naturally provided more comfortable conditions and did not need to use air conditioning. This thesis investigated the effect of different building materials on both human comfort and energy consumption in domestic buildings in the Yemen with special reference to the City of Seiyun. The methodology used in this thesis was divided into two parts. The first part dealt with a questionnaire and building monitoring relating to the perceived thermal comfort inside three types of houses and the use of fans and/or air conditioning to maintain thermal comfort. Based on the results of this survey a computer model was calibrated and used to carry out a parametric study into the choice of building materials and architectural design to optimise the design of housing to minimise the use of air conditioning. The results of the survey indicated that occupants were more dissatisfied with their internal environment in housing constructed of concrete than in traditional housing and also they used a significant amount of air conditioning to maintain thermal comfort. The main conclusion to be drawn from this work was that it was possible to design new housing in such a way so as to reduce the demand for air conditioning and at the same time provide thermal comfort and inhabitant satisfaction with building appearance. Also one of the most effective design features was the use of a courtyard with a high thermal mass.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis is based on field-work in 1981-1983 in a small, peripheral and once isolated, town in the western mountains of the Yemen Arab Republic. A population of nominally tribal sedentary cultivators is structurally divided into three endogamous groups. The effects of monetarisation, male labour migration to Saudi Arabia, the emergence of a modern republican state, the collapse of cereal production and growth in cultivation of gast, a popular Yemeni stimulant, are examined. New criteria by which townsmen assess each other are contrasted with existing ascriptive diacritics of status. The opening of the community and a burgeoning entrepreneurial ethos associated with a laisser-faire frontier economy have blurred what are still regarded as immutable boundaries. Extreme situational manoeuvrability allows expedient and contradictory performances in different arenas of power as the male population seeks to adopt a romanticised lifestyle associated with the Yemeni tribesman. The ebullient optimism spawned by an unexpected advent of prosperity takes little regard of the cosmetic nature of development in rural Yemen. New notions of individualism have led 'to an increase in the proportion of nuclear households, weakening of the web of kin solidarity and an erosion of communal spirit which has given the community a reputation as being demoralised and divided. The study complements a growing body of ethnographic literature on south-western Arabia, most of which is concerned with larger or more centrally located Yemeni communities. I believe it contributes to anthropological understanding of stratification and economic and social change in the contemporary Middle East and sheds more light on the, as vet little studied q effects of the mass movement of male labour from the resource--poor to the oil-rich Arab states.

This study examines various sites of international travel for medical care. Focusing primarily on Yemenis' medical travel to Jordan and other countries, the study explores a variety of issues and experiences of care-seeking abroad. Topics covered include state and institutional support for treatment outside the country, linkages between countries that facilitate movements, medical travellers' funding and logistical decisions, and therapeutic reputations leading to destination selection. The following examples of medical travel are also considered: the special receptions of Arab royalty, an advanced care facility in Scotland, and organ donors and recipients. This study is set within a context of increasing globalization, where advances in medical procedures and devices, communication, and transportation all contribute to people's ideas about where to go for medical care.

Yar, Mohamed Shirin Yassin. "Strategies of reading as communication with reference to Yemeni tertiary learners." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1992. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10020196/.
Full textAbstract:
Reading is an important skill for all languages and all language learning. It is a skill complex to understand, complex to teach and complex to learn. This thesis addresses the issue of reading from the reader's point of view. It provides a detailed analysis of the reading strategies used by the Yemeni learners of English at the tertiary level as they read textbooks. In doing so it draws from two domains of second/foreign language learning, viz reading and strategies. Within the framework of these two domains it focuses on readin g strategies, depending on the first part (reading) on the reader-text interaction view of reading and for the second part (strategies) on the conscious effort involved in solving a reading problem. It investigates two related aspects of the reading process: reading problems arising in the creation of meaning as far as the systemic and schematic knowledge is concerned and reading solutions as given by the reader. The concept of 'strategy' is first examined as it is found in learning and communication studies. It is then presented in reading and reading models. Studies that have addressed the issue are then reviewed. Reading strategies are investigated through a five-stage design where a different instrument is used in each stage. Subjects in each of the five stages (questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, doze/recall tasks and verbal protocols in Li and L2) range from 60 to 100 in number, coming from two different disciplines, viz Education and Engineering. The data of the study are analysed using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results present a picture of the strategies the readers used in reading texts in Arabic and in English in the form of some twenty-four different strategies, which are categorised as problem identifying and problem-solving ones. These strategies are then discussed with reference to the reading models presented earlier. On the basis of this, implications for theory and pedagogy are made.

Watson, Janet Constance Elizabeth. "Aspects of the phonology and verb morphology of three Yemeni dialects." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1989. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28629/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis challenges a number of widely held assumptions concerning dialectology. Generative approaches to dialectology have assumed that related dialects share identical underlying representations and that dialect variation results from different rules or different ordering of the same rules. In the introduction, it is demonstrated that this position is untenable. Firstly, it is claimed that there can be no such notion as an objective dialect and that the term 'dialect' is most sensibly used to describe what native speakers perceive to be their language variety; and secondly, it is argued that different dialects may have independent underlying representations. In this light, the task of the dialectologist is seen to be examination of the different levels of the grammar in which dialect variation may and does take place. In terms of this overall perspective, the thesis adopts a model of underspecification first proposed by Pulleyblank (1986) and Archangeli (1984). While certain aspects of the phonology are viewed as language universal, this model does permit and exploit language specific variation, and thereby proves particularly apt for an approach to dialectology which rejects positing a single underlying representation for cognate forms in related dialects. These general principles are applied to a study of three mutually intelligible dialects spoken in the western mountain range of North Yemen: Hubaiji, Gabiini and Kusmi. Aspects of phonology and verb morphology are investigated and it is seen how dialect variation is manifested in different components of the grammar. Chapter one establishes the set of syllable types and examines syllabification processes. Chapter two determines the identity of vocalic features and the vocalic matrix: to this end, the minimal vowel is established for the dialects. In chapter three, consonantal features are considered and the identity of the minimal consonant Is determined. Chapter four looks at the sound triliteral verb in terms of voice and inflection. Chapter five considers the possibility of two minimal segments within a single prosodic system and establishes the Identity of the minimal consonant at the lexical level. Chapters six, seven and eight investigate dialect variation in the lexical component by considering: feminine verbal and nominal inflections; non-sound triliteral verbs; and [+R] spread (the spread of lip rounding) as it affects vowels of the perfective verbal stem. In the Appendix, note is made of utterance-final phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
Nineteenth and twentieth century migratory networks had a formative, yet unrecognized, impact in the lead-up to the 1962 establishment of the Yemen Arab Republic. Migrants from Northern Yemen to Aden built discursive spaces for contesting economic and political oppression that served as a foundation for later channels of political dissidents and reformists to oppose the Imamic regime, often walking a tightrope between their own calls for reform and the interests of foreign state actors. Those spaces were preserved in the later development of similar networks after 1962 and paved the way for generations of migrants to contest or advance reigning economic and social orders via labor migration to oil-rich states.

Full textAbstract:
Online Social Networking Sites (OSNSs) have become an essential part of human communication and interaction all over the globe. They have also offered numerous opportunities to language learners across geographic borders, paralleled by a new research interest in their potential. The present study joins this relatively new line of research as it adds data from a sample of Yemeni English language learners about their use and perceived benefits of using OSNSs in English. The data were collected through an online survey distributed to undergraduate Yemeni learners of English at two universities in Yemen. The final sample included 60 participants (37 female and 23 male), between the ages of 19 and 33. The survey consisted of 31 questions, 28 of which were Likert scale questions and 3 were open-ended questions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple t-tests for independent samples to examine potential gender differences. The open-ended responses were subjected to content analysis to identify common themes and categories of responses. These were grouped, tabulated in tables, and illustrated with quotes from the data. The main conclusion of the study is that Yemeni college students are actively participating in OSNSs and are aware of the language benefits these online sites carry for developing their English skills. Moreover, the participants reported that OSNSs are helpful for building various aspects of their English proficiency, but found them most useful for their writing and reading skills, expanding their vocabulary, having access to authentic materials, and communicating with English speaking friends, both native and non-native speakers. They ranked their usefulness in the following order: Facebook, WhatsApp, Google Plus, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Additionally, the results reveal that both men and women have equal access to OSNSs and perceive OSNSs as equally beneficial for their English skills. There was only one statistically significant difference concerning the frequency of using Facebook as men reported higher frequency of use than their female counterparts. The study offers insights into the potential of using OSNSs in the language classroom. The majority of the participants believed that OSNSs can be a valuable teaching resource if used effectively by their English teachers. They saw the role of OSNSs as supplementary to the usual classroom procedures, mainly in providing authentic contexts for learning, assessment, and facilitating the communication between students and teachers. The findings also suggest that to take advantage of these new opportunities, Yemeni teachers need to have adequate training and regular access to resources, which appeared to be lacking at the time this study was carried out.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedWhy have Yemen’s counterinsurgency and counterterrorism polices been less effective against the Huthi movement compared to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)? This paper finds that the military’s poor counterinsurgency and counterterrorism policies, the international effort to combat AQAP, the Huthi’s ability to recruit and mobilize large numbers of followers, and the Huthi leadership’s pragmatic alliances gave the Huthis the advantage over AQAP and the Republic of Yemen. Yemen faces multiple security problems. Foremost, the country faces threats from various groups including the Huthi Movement, AQAP, Hirak, and tribal elements with the Huthis recently capturing Sanaa. The country’s oil supply will soon to run out, which is the main source of government revenue. The country is still in the process of transition required by the Gulf Cooperation Council-negotiated agreement after the Arab Spring. These problems are exacerbated by corruption, social, and economic problems. Finally, state failure remains a real possibility, with the various groups battling for control. In this case, Yemen could become the next Somalia. The worse scenario for the U.S. would for Yemen to become a safe haven for a group intent on attacking U.S. citizens and interests.

Lo Yemen è un paese tribale e tradizionale, dove prevalgono strutture patriarcali e dove il fondamentalismo islamico attribuisce alla donna una posizione sfavorevole nella famiglia e nella comunità, limitandone la partecipazione alla vita pubblica. Le donne sono sottoposte a varie forme di violenza e di discriminazione, compresa la violenza domestica, la privazione di istruzione, il matrimonio forzato, le restrizioni alla libertà di movimento, l'esclusione dai ruoli e dei processi decisionali, l'emarginazione dai processi ereditari, la privazione dei servizi sanitari e le mutilazioni genitali femminili.
Il matrimonio infantile ha infatti forti impatti fisici, intellettuali, psicologici ed emotivi sulla vita di queste giovani donne, le conduce a rapporti sessuali forzati ed aumenta la loro vulnerabilità. Le opportunità di istruzione vengono eliminate, poiché gli investimenti in essa vengono visti come uno spreco, e la possibilità di crescita personale diminuisce in modo esponenziale. Il matrimonio priva le bambine della loro infanzia portando in molti casi a gravidanze precoci e a situazione di servitù domestica e sessuale, su cui non si ha alcun controllo.
Il governo yemenita ha fallito nella protezione dei bambini dal matrimonio minorile, non fissando o applicando una chiara età minima per il matrimonio e non fornendo a donne e ragazze protezione da matrimoni forzati e abusi coniugali.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the ways in which two educated Yemeni women understand and engage with storylines in their society which position them as 'sisters of men' obliged to conform to expectations of 'good' wives, mothers, daughters and Muslims. My own long immersion in Yemeni society, and de se experience of being discursively, interactively and structurally positioned as a woman and a wife in that context created a compelling desire to explore the ascribed social identities, roles and relationships of women in Yemen. In keeping with the feminist underpinnings of this study, I used a holistic method of investigation, the life history interview, and a voice relational mode of analysis that facilitated engagement with the women and their multiple subjectivities and positionings. Findings suggest that far from understanding themselves as de facto victims of their men and their religion, these strong and outspoken characters actively and willingly embrace those storylines derived from Islam but live them in sometimes unexpected ways. I also collaborated with my storytellers in the construction of personal narratives to enable readers to understand a little more about the world that these women inhabit, and help transform "information into shared experience" (Denzin 2009: 216). This study makes conceptual, methodological, practical and political contributions and suggests areas for further research.

Full textAbstract:
The Fall Armyworm is a serious pest of many crops throughout most of the Western Hemisphere particularly those belonging to the family Gramineae. This pest is usually controlled by insecticides which, however, cause many health and environmental problems. Although a rich bank of sorgum germplasm occurs in Yemen, no effort has been made to identify the Yemeni cultivars which might express resistance to armyworm attack. There is very little information to show at what time of the growing season and at what planting stage the sorghum cultivars are most susceptible to armyworms. Therefore, eight Yemeni and two American sorghum cultivars were planted in Tucson, Arizona, during 1983 and 1984. The experimental design was a randomized complete block arranged in split-split plots with four replications. The main plots were the varieties, and subplots were two planting dates and two infestation times. The plants were artificially infested with laboratory reared, first instar larvae. Infestation consisted of five larvae per plant in 1983 and ten in 1984. Results demonstrate the 'IBB' and 'TURBA' received the least leaf damage and 'SGIRL-MR1' and 'ALBAIDA' received the most in 1983. However, during 1984, 'TURBA' and 'HAIDRAN' showed the greatest degree of resistance and 'SGIRL-MR1', 'AMRAN', 'ALMAHWIT', and 'ALBAIDA' the least.

Accordingly, that competition transformed the region’s dynamic into something of a RSC (Buzan and Wæver, 2003 p. 187) – to be more precise, the Gulf became a distinct sub-complex of the Great Middle East RSC. After the Gulf War II (1990-1991) and even more so following the U.S invasion of Iraq in 2003, this RSC was defined by the competition between Saudi Arabia and Iran, as each sought to expand their influence over the other regional states. Consequently, the region was divided in two camps: first, the multilateral security and political organisation of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (usually alluded to as the Gulf Cooperation Council or GCC), including Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Oman; and second, Iran and its proxies in the region. Yemen and Iraq occupied a shifting and unstable space in between these two camps, with the latter oscillating between quiet recipient of GCC assistance and outright hostility to the GCC states, and the former relying heavily on GCC assistance and gaining partial membership in the GCC Secretariat in 2001. This paper asserts that the GCC approach to regional politics and security has been largely determined, whether passively or actively, by the policies and threat perceptions of Saudi Arabia. At the same time, Saudi Arabian policy has been tempered by the interaction of other actors behaving within Security Complexes at the global, regional and domestic levels. By extending the RSC framework to the case of the Gulf region, this thesis examines the degree to which the nature of cooperation and conflict among the AGC shapes their interactions with external powers, including Iran and Iraq, but especially with their southern neighbour Yemen. The importance of this project is that it should add to the ongoing debate on the importance of Yemen’s security and stability for Saudi Arabia and the other GCC members. It concludes that at the core of Arabian Peninsula security dynamics, Saudi Arabia’s relationship with Yemen impacts other regional relations with the smaller Gulf states and Iran, even at the same time that it is conditioned by those same relationships.

Partant des résultats obtenus par Al Ward (2009), qui soulignent l'existence de difficultés interculturelles chez les étudiants yéménites en France qui peuvent conduire à des malentendus et à des conflits interculturels, nous avons ainsi décidé d'étudier ces difficultés interculturelles en cherchant des réponses aux questions suivantes, relatives à la nature de ces difficultés, au pourquoi de leur existence et à la façon de pouvoir y apporter des solutions. Avec l'objectif de répondre à ces questions, nous avons élaboré un questionnaire en nous référant aux mots associés de Zarate (1989), pour collecter auprès des étudiants yéménites, leurs représentations de la culture et de la société françaises. Nous avons également procédé à des entretiens avec des étudiants déjà en France, afin de pouvoir appréhender leurs difficultés. En croisant les deux enquêtes pour les analyses, nous avons pu dresser une liste de difficultés interculturelles qui peuvent survenir dans les communications interculturelles franco-yéménites. Nous avons, ensuite, constaté que ces obstacles peuvent avoir plusieurs origines, par exemple : la méconnaissance de la culture étrangère, l'absence de culture dans les programmes d'enseignement des langues, les représentations négatives de l'Occident régies par les discours religieux et les traditions et les coutumes yéménites qui limitent les contacts entre sexes opposés. Pour remédier à cet état de fait, nous avons procédé à une expérimentation en introduisant le multimédia dans la classe de langue. Grace à ce vecteur, les apprenants ont pu découvrir les traditions, les coutumes et le pays dont ils apprenaient la langue.Ils ont été amenés, ensuite, à réaliser des mini-recherches sur la culture française pour pouvoir accéder, par eux-mêmes, aux différents aspects de la culture étrangère.Enfin, les résultats obtenus après ces deux expériences ont montré une évolution remarquable des représentations des étudiants. Ces résultats soulignent également une décentration des apprenants par rapport à leur culture d'origine et une relativisation de leurs représentations antérieuresBased on the results obtained by Al Ward (2009) which point out that theexistence of intercultural issues among Yemeni students in France, and lead tomisunderstandings and intercultural conflicts. We decided to study these interculturalproblems by seeking answers to the following questions: what are they, why theyexist, and how can we find solutions? With the aim of answering these questions we developed a questionnaire with reference to associated Zarate (1989) words, to collect immediate representations of French culture and society. We also did interviews with students already in France in order to understand their problems. By combining the two surveys in the analysis, we have a list of intercultural problems which may occur in the French-Yemeni intercultural communications. We then found that these problems can be linked to several causes

Full textAbstract:
This life history study explores the textual practices of four Yemeni women from Northtown, a town in the North of England. The study takes a social and ideological view of literacy, one that regards literacy as a social practice occurring within 'webs of people and institutions' (Barton, Hamilton and Ivanic, 2000:14). It explores the ways in which literacy and language practices are linked to the womens' lives, social worlds and to their narratives. I have used life history methods that draw from feminism, critical theory, post-modernism and post-colonialism to co-construct the informants' stories. This investigation models a research method that grows out of a feminist approach of reframing power relationships, knowledge construction and individual experiences. I have used narrative inquiry as the process for this research, to enable the distinctive voices of the women to emerge from the research data and for their individual stories to be crafted.

Full textAbstract:
2011 became a year of revolt for the Middle East and north Africa as a series of popular uprisings toppled veteran strongmen that had ruled the regions for decades. The contentious mobilisations not only repudiated orthodox explanations for the resilience of Arab autocracy, but radically asserted the 'political imaginary' of a sovereign and united citizenry, so vigorously encapsulated in the popular slogan al-shab yurid isqat al-nizam (the people want to overthrow the system). In the Republic of Yemen, revolting citizens precipitated the resignation of perennial President Ali Abd Allah Salih and demanded a fundamental reconfiguration of the prevailing social contract into a modern civil state (al-dawla al-madaniya al-haditha). It is tempting to situate the root causes of these historic citizen revolts in the political inertia and moral bankruptcy of (neo)patrimonial Arab autocracies, their neoliberal economic policies, unemployment and social inequality, a youth bulge or new media technologies - all of which doubtlessly constituted crucial enabling factors. For the historian, however, the story runs much deeper than such 'presentist' interpretations suggest. Adopting a dynamic, process-orientated approach, this doctoral dissertation examines why and how the revolutionary mobilisation in 2011 transpired in relation to Yemen's history of contentious politics. The narrative is built around the argument that the revolt was the result of three parallel, dynamic processes: the erratic and limited liberalisation process since Yemeni unification in 1990, the 'oligarchisation' of power sine the 1994 war, and the 'politics of calculated chaos' - a paradoxical propensity of the Salih regime to foster disorder and dissent in order to position itself as the defender of the republicanism and Yemeni unity. When regime changes in North Africa precipitated a shift in political opportunities, these processes culminated in the formation of a loose, temporary and heterogeneous opposition coalition that mounted a singular contentious challenge against the regime. Traditional powerbrokers, however, soon stifled the brief revolutionary moment as they politicised, co-opted and superseded the citizen movement. Loosely inspired by the histoire de la long duree, the thesis contextualises the emergence and trajectory of the Yemeni citizen revolt in the political economy imperatives, deep-seated regional divisions and collective memories of past regimes and revolutions, such as the pre-Islamic South Arabian kingdomes, the millennial Zaydi Imamates or the twin revolutions of the 1960s. It thereby revels some striking historical parallels to earlier episodes of contention in terms of longstanding demands, ideas and repertoires, which continue to constitute frameworks of reference for contemporary contentious politics.

Full textAbstract:
Several developing countries introduced family planning programs to reduce their population growth rates. The rapid spread of birth control programs in the developing countries was at times accompanied by measures which violated human rights. In response to the ethical violations and coercive policies on population control, toward the end of 1980s various international committees formulated a reproductive health approach to overcome the limited population control approach. Unlike other population control programs, the focus of reproductive health program is on “reproductive process,” where as the most immediate focus of family planning programs is on fertility. Although studies refer to reproductive health approach as an extension of fertility control approach, literature on reproductive health provides very few systematic approaches toward developing explanations of reproductive health. The current approaches on population control are influenced by the ideological shift towards a broad-based approach which involves fertility or family size as one of the components of reproductive health. The present study uses intermediate variables framework suggested by Davis and Blake to organize reproductive health explanations. The proposed framework suggests that the state of reproductive health is indicated by intercourse, conception, and gestation variables and assumes that reproductive health is a latent dimensional outcome indicated by the measures of the intermediate variables. Also, there is noticeable lack of studies on reproductive health in Muslim countries. Given this shortcoming in the literature on reproductive health, the proposed model on reproductive health is used to assess the reproductive health of women in Yemen. The data are from the Yemen Demographic and Maternal and Child Health Survey (YDMCHS) conducted in 1997. Structural equation analysis is used to analyze the data. It is found that gender power or women's empowerment is more influential than economic status in determining reproductive health outcomes. The results of the study provide support for the proposed model. Implications for social policy making are discussed.

Al-Nood, Hafiz Abdul Hamid. "Prevalence of sickle cell gene in Yemen." Thesis, Swansea University, 2004. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42767.
Full textAbstract:
To determine the prevalence of the sickle cell gene (HbS) in Yemen and amongst people from different regions of the country living in the capital, Sana'a City, cord blood samples from 1500 consented mothers were collected from hospitals in Sana'a City between July and December 2001. The names and original homes of the parents were recorded. Cationic HPLC analysis was used for screening while isoelectric focusing (IEF) and DNA- PCR were used to confirm haemoglobin S (HbS). Thirty-three samples were found to show Hb FAS giving an overall likely Hb S gene frequency of 0.011. The Hb S gene frequency varied with the part of the country from which the parents came. Amongst people from Taiz and Haja in the west the gene frequency was more than 0.04 but less than 0.004 amongst people from Ibb, adjacent to the governorate of Taiz. Of 66 chromosomes from babies carrying HbS, only 1.5% additionally carried the presence of-158 (C→T) G-gamma globin gene Xmm I site compared with 16.1% of 168 chromosomes from babies without Hb S from the same regions of the sickle cell trait samples identified in this study indicated that the beta S haplotype in not that associated with a milder course found in east Saudi Arabia. In addition to the absence of both Hind III/Ggamma and Hind III/Agamma beta globin polymorphic sites in 26 sickle cell trait samples suggesting the predominant of the African sickle cell haplotype (Benin) in Yemen. The results of this study thus show a higher Hb S gene frequency in the western coastal part of Yemen than in the central mountainous and eastern desert areas. The incidence of affected homozygous births may therefore reach 20/10,000 in the western coastal part of Yemen. A survey to evaluate health care of sickle cell patients was performed using 86 patients attending hospitals in Sanaa City, Yemen. The results showed that the clinical services provided to the sickle cell patients in Yemen were generally very poor. Limited health resources can best be invested in developing a program of education, screening and health care initially prioritising those communities residing in the western areas of Yemen with the highest Hb S gene frequency.

En examinant les composantes : medias, developpement et milieu rural au yemen, il est confirme que la radio et la television sont considerees comme un secteur "public" a developper en tant que symbole de modernite. Or, l'utilisation de ces medias pour servir le developpement dans le milieu rural est confrontee a une realite beaucoup plus complexe. D'abord, il y a une ambiguite apparente dans le contenu des strategies de developpement due a l'absence d'un choix ideologique precis produisant, par consequent, des messages contradictoirs. Ensuite, les agents de developpement -concepteurs, executeurs, ou communicateurs- appartiennent tous aux milieux sociaux privileges peu sensibles aux problemes du milieu rural defavorise. Ainsi les messages destines a ce public ne repondent pas assez a sa realite ou a ses bsoins. D'autres facteurs lies au milieu rural interviennent aussi comme l'emigration, l'analphabetisme, le clivage social et la segregation de sexeWhen examining the componants : media, development and rural areas in yemen, it is proven that radio and television are considerd as a public sector to be developed as a symbol of modernity. Now, the utilization of these media to serve the development in rural areas is confronted by a very complex reality. At first, there is an apparent ambiguity in the contents of the development strategies due to the absence of a precis ideological choice which, consequently, produce contradictory messages. Next, the development agents -plannerts, executors, or communicators- belong all of them to privileged social groups that have littel sensibility to non-privileged rural areas problems. Thus, messages meant for the rural public do not correspond enough to it's reality nor to it's needs. Also, other factors interfere such as the emigration, the analphabetism, the social division and sex segregation

As the title of the thesis suggests, this is a study of the problems and concerns experienced by student teachers in The Yemen at different stages in their training (second, third, first year of teaching). An initial exploratory case study of one teacher training institute, using interviews, was utilized to generate items for two questionnaires (about problems, and related beliefs respectively) completed by about 800 student -s in all 11 General Teacher Training Institutes in the country. The items covered several areas: School Material Conditions and Resources, Teaching Demands, Relationships with Professionals and Adults, Teaching Competencies, Institutes' Courses, Job Rewards, Pupils' Response to Teaching, and Students' Security. Applying Factor Analysis to the ratings of the total population for the 'problems' questionnaire showed no sufficiently strong structure of problems (patterns). Further analysis using commonsense categories showed that most problem areas were of great concern to the majority of student teachers and beginning teachers and these concerns were stable across stages, except for Students' Social/Emotional Security which showed consistently decreased concern over successive stages. When males and females were studied separately, the patterns of change were different, and diverse changes ii were found for the various (single-sex) institutes. Variables such as Background (Urban/Rural), Institutes attended, Primary School Location, Job Location for beginning teachers, seemed to be dominated to a large extent by sex differences. Males mainly expressed higher concern about job rewards, females about their own ability to cope with the tasks of classroom teaching. Variables such as Age within Stages, and Stage of Joining Institutes, did not appear to have influence upon students and beginning teachers' problems. The results of the 'Beliefs' questionnaire were analysed similarly and showed patterns of results which did not correspond with the 'Problems' results in a way which could allow the concerns to be explained by the belief s. The initial exploratory case study sample was followed longitudinally by interviews. This approach showed different patterns of increasing concerns on entry to teaching. Possible explanations for the different patterns are discussed. Interviews with a sample of institutes' lecturers suggest an awareness by the majority of lecturers of some of the common problems expressed by student teachers. iii The substantive findings and methodological issues are discussed in relation to the literature (e. g. Fuller, Gibson, Lacey ... ). Some suggestions for improving teacher education in The Yemen are offered.

Aims: 1) To identify the characteristics of a sample of Yemeni Khat chewers in Sheffield. 2) To investigate how these characteristics are associated with: a) Self-rated "compromised‟ health. b) Self-reported oral health problems. c) Self- reported health conditions and d) Self-reported "high‟ nicotine dependence. Methods: This cross sectional study recruited a purposive sample of male khat chewers aged 18 years and above, selected during random visits to khat sellers. Data were collected through face to face structured interviews and validated using saliva and expired carbon monoxide samples. Data collected were analysed using simple descriptive, univariate and hierarchical logistic regression analyses. Results: Two hundred and four khat-chewing volunteers with a mean age of 44.84 years were interviewed. Sixty five percent were unemployed and 66% had a low level of completed education. Sixty five percent were tobacco smokers. Being older (OR=4.47, 95%CI=1.46-13.66), unemployed (OR=5.49, 95%CI=1.89-15.96), living in uncrowded housing (OR=2.65, 95%CI=1.13-6.22) and reporting low social participation (OR=2.61, 95%CI=1.22-5.61) were found to be statistically significantly associated with self-rated "compromised‟ health. A low level of completed education was found to be statistically significantly associated with self-reported oral problems (OR=2.27, 95%CI=1.02-5.04). Self-reported health conditions were found to be statistically significantly associated with being older (OR=3.10, 95%CI=1.32-7.28), unemployed (OR=4.25, 95%CI=1.57-11.47) and living in uncrowded housing (OR=2.96, 95%CI=1.38-6.37). Finally, self-reported „high‟ nicotine dependence was found to be statistically significantly associated with starting smoking in the UK or elsewhere as opposed to Yemen (OR=3.18, 95%CI=1.03-9.77), being divorced, single or widowed (OR=3.29, 95%CI=1.11-9.74) and reporting low social participation 2 (OR=3.69, 95%CI=1.18-11.51). Conclusions: A range of demographic and socio-cultural factors were identified that correlated with health impacts, reflecting social inequalities amongst this sample of khat chewers.

Full textAbstract:
Critical discourse analysis investigates the ways in which discourse is to abuse power relationships. Political debates constitute discourses that mirror certain aspects of ideologies. This study aimed to uncover the ideological intentions in the formulation and circulation of hegemonic political ideology in TV political debates that occurred in the 2011-2012 Yemen revolution, examining the question of how ideology was used as a tool of hegemony. The corpus of the study consisted of fifteen debates (73915 words) from four live debate programmes (The Opposite Direction, In Depth, Behind the News and the Revolution Talk) staged at Al Jazeera Arabic TV channel between 2011 and 2012. Al Jazeera was selected as the focus of this study because of its position as the most popular TV in the Arab world and due to its strong presence during the Arab revolutions. Two debate sides were identified: government, representing the president Ali Abdullah Saleh and his regime, and protesters, who represented the discontent populace gathering squares who demanded the abdication of the president. Data were also obtained from interviews conducted with the Al Jazeera staff who managed the debates. Analysis was conducted on the verbal discourse aspects of four debates, one debate from each programme, using critical discourse analysis: aspects from the van Leeuwen's (2008, 2009) Social Actor Network model, supplemented by additional linguistic features. The results were triangulated using computer-assisted corpus analysis for the entire corpus, the fifteen debates. AntConc (version 3.2.4w) was used to process the keyword lists, word concordances and collocations. The results of the analysis were then compared with the interviews with AJ staff. The main research finding was that although results of the critical discourse analysis correlated with those of the computer-assisted corpus analysis, they differed to a marked degree from the perceptions of Al Jazeera staff. Also, evident is that Al Jazeera and the protesters had similar ideological intentions, including glorifying the revolution and inciting protests, which was not the case with the government speakers. Overall, the findings show that Al Jazeera displayed evident bias, excluding the government from its debates in a way that runs counter to its mission statement and the tenets of objective journalism. The findings of this study illustrate the powerful role that language plays in shaping ideological media intentions and influencing the media audience.
