Abstract :

Poisoning is any unwanted effect on human body that can result due to exposure to natural or synthetic substances. Poisoning is highly related to the public awareness and the correct handling of these poisoning substances. This study was conducted to spot the light on the poisoning problem, mainly among children with an overall objective was to decrease the morbidity and mortality rates of children due to poisoning through better understanding of the causes, symptoms, and management of poisoning cases. The study was conducted on poisoning cases that were presented to the emergency room of Jenin Governmental Hospital and admitted to the pediatric unit during the period of January 2000 to August 2002. A total of 127 poisoning cases, up to 14 years old, were presented to Jenin Hospital during the study period. The results showed that the majority of cases were presented with mild to moderate poisoning symptoms, 74% of the cases aged from 1-5 years old, predominantly male. Most of the poisoning cases (85%) occurred at home and resulted from oral poisoning and with symptoms of digestive system poisoning. The majority of the poisoned cases were due to chemical products including pesticides and petroleum materials mainly kerosene. Our findings strongly indicate a lack of public awareness about handling of chemical materials (storage, labeling and first aid in case of poisoning). Carelessness and lack of parental knowledge might be one of the main factors that led to most of the poisoning cases, house was not calming oases in Palestine. Therefore, childproofing home and educational programs from the Ministry of Health and other Non-Governmental-Organizations could be the most effective prevention methods to decrease morbidity and mortality from accidental poisoning in children. In addition, the establishment of poison control center may have an essential role in controlling the poisoning problem.

Abstract

The study attempts to shed some light on the Palestinian folkloric poetry which is currently being considered as one of the pillars of the Palestinian resistance. It aims at deepening the nation's roots in the homeland of our ancestors and reemphasizing our link with national heritage which our enemies try their best to obliterate and distort. In fact, the study touches a topic of deep concern to the Palestinian people. This concern has always been felt by the poet Muhareb Theeb who has used his tongue and the string of his rababah to chant purely Palestinian tunes in the homeland, exile and Diaspora. Therefore, writing down this verbal heritage is a national responsibility that must be taken by individuals, groups and establishments.

The present study is introduced to fill in a gap and root one of the adobes of our folkloric heritage. Despite his popularity and productivity, Muhareb Theeb's works have not yet been studied or even documented by any researcher.

Basically, the study attempts to highlight Muhareb Theeb's role in promoting the Palestinian folkloric literature through answering the following questions:

· What's Muhareb Theeb's rank? What is his position?

· To what extent is his rank consistent with his position?

Abstract :

This thesis deals with the study of Surat Al-Isra’ on two levels: syntactic and semantic levels. It aims at highlighting the syntactic patterns of the sentence in Surat Al-Isra’ and studying some of the linguistic aspects meaningfully. The first level of the study didn’t exceed the descriptive limits of the syntax. The researcher noticed that the sentence took several forms in Surat Al-Isra’. He highlighted the number of the repetitions for each form so as to reveal those patterns which are frequently used in Surat Al- Isra’ and those rarely used. Meanwhile, the other level of the study dealt with a number of syntactic problems meaningfully after displaying the problems through connecting them with the ancient and modern grammarians and linguists and comparing those opinions to conclude a clear explanation for those problems. The study arrived at the wondrous nature of the Noble Qur’an in its display of the problems and aims of the Law of Islam. Also, the syntax is not just an apparent or external structure but it came out through the meaning inside the soul that led to that structure. The most important conclusions of this study are: 1. The modern and the ancient scholars paid attention to Surat Al-Isra’. 2. Arabic Language is the one language that is able to express in its wonderful methodology with great aims. This is what makes it a wondrous language. 3. The predicate clause was used more than the stylistic clause in Surat Al-Isra’. 4. The diversity of the style in its both parts the requested and the non-requested achieved varied rhetorical meanings according to the stylistic text in which they appear. 5. The syntactic structure revealed how much the harmony was among the meanings of the predicate and the composition in the text. This harmony led to the wondrous nature of the Qur’an. 6. The study of syntax in the verses showed that the adjectives appeared in the different images, and so did the conjunctive. But the opposition didn’t appear except in the identical form. 7. The Qur’anic expression about time in all its directions was with great wondrous nature. The forms which were shown in this study, revealed clearly the ability of the Arabic language in expressing time in all its minute details that makes the events and verbs take place. Most of the time meanings of the verbs appeared in agreement to the use of these verbs whether in its morphological or in its syntactic text with the help of the verbal and abstract context. 8. The style of omission made a syntactic and obvious aspect in which the Qur’an aimed at brevity. This style varied. Sometimes the letter was omitted. In other places the verb or the noun was omitted. This omission led to the variety of the meanings that comes out from this omission. 9. The meanings of moving forward and backward were harmonious in their context. These meanings led to rhetorical meanings as care and capitalization. This aspect was varied to include moving forward of the predicate, subject and object.
