Abstract: ABSTRACT Purpose: Chronic pain (CP) acceptance is a major factor in determining the well-being of patients with chronic pain. The chronic pain acceptance questionnaire (CPAQ) was translated and validated into Arabic (CPAQ-Ar). Methods: 244 patients with CP completed the CPAQ-Ar, the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the short form health survey (SF-36), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21). 110 patients completed the CPAQ-Ar twice separated by two weeks to investigate test-retest reliability. Results: Cronbach’s α was 0.902 while the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.917. The standard error measurement (SEM) was seven points while the minimal detectable change with 95% confidence interval (MDC95) was seventeen points. The CPAQ-Ar showed moderate to high correlations with the PCS, the BDI-II, the SF-36, the MFIS, the PSQI, and the DASS-21 indicating a good concurrent validity. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed that the CPAQ-Ar consists of two subscales. Better pain acceptance associated with male gender, older people, employed participants, low pain intensity, and single pain site. Conclusions: The CPAQ-Ar is a valid and reliable tool for the measurement of pain acceptance in Arabic speaking patients with CP

Abstract: في عالمنا اليوم نلمس الكثير من الصراعات والأزمات المتنامية نحو هلاك البشرية اذا ما كتب لها الاستمرار. فأينما نظرنا نجد صراعات مصيرية بين الشمال والجنوب والشرق والغرب. وما من قادر على حل المنازعات السياسية والازمات الاقتصادية المتنازع عليها والكوارث البيئية والاجتماعية، الا وان يلجأ الى حلول العامل السحري المنقذ الأعظم في هذه المعادلة، ألا وهو احلال مبادىء الإنسانية ، فمن آمن بوحدتها على الرغم من تعدد الأطراف والجهات والمتنازعين، لا يجد سوى روح الانسانية لتبقى واحدة في الجوهر مهما اختلفت الأعراق والمذاهب والطوائف والايديولوجيات والمصالح. قديما نادى كونفوشيوس بمبدأ السلام الداخلي، وتعاقب العديد من المفكرين في محاولة لإبراز أثر احلال السلام في حل الكثير من القضايا والمنازعات. وفي طرحي هذا أحاول البناء على ما بناه الأوائل من دعاة السلام ،من خلال إضفاء صفة للمواطنة العالمية المنشودة باعتبارها الحل السحري العصري لأزمات وصراعات الحاضر والمستقبل، ألا وهي المتمثلة في مبدأ محبة الإنسان والآخر والكون باعتباره وطنا لكل مواطن بالمعنى العالمي https://burhaninstitute.org/?p=930

Research Title: المواطنة العالمية والتربية من أجل السلام .. كما يجب أن تكون
Author: Amani Ghazi Jarrar, Published Year: 2021

Abstract: السلام هدف إنساني وغاية نبيلة تسعى الإنسانية لتحقيقها على امتداد تاريخها الحضاري، وقد ازدادت الدعوة للسلام والعمل على إرساء دعائمه وتعميمه في العصر الحديث كأداة تفاهم تجمع شعوب العالم حول هذا الهدف. لقد بدأ الاهتمام بدراسات السلام كميدان أكاديمي في الجامعات العالمية منذ الخمسينات، وكان التركيز في البداية على السلام في مواجهة العنف المباشر، كما هو الحال في الاعتداء والتعذيب والاضطهاد والحروب، ليتطور فيما بعد إلى تناول العنف غير المباشر، أي ما يعانيه الناس نتيجة للنظم الاجتماعية والسياسية والاقتصادية التي تؤدي إلى الموت أو الانتقاص من آدمية الإنسان وانتهاك حقوقه مثل : التمييز العنصري والتعرض للجوع وإنكار حقوق الإنسان. والتربية دعوة للحياة، والحياة في جوهرها هي السلام مع الذات ومع الآخرين ومع البيئة المادية، ومن هنا فإن التربية من أجل السلام تتراوح في مداها من السلام بين الدول والشعوب إلى الأفراد داخل الأسرة أو الجماعة وأخيراً إلى الإنسان نفسه. https://burhaninstitute.org/?p=1050

Research Title: TOWARDS SOCIAL JUSTICE AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP AS AN INTELLECTUAL APPROACH AND GLOBAL ASPIRATION FOR HUMANITY (IN A STRIFE-RIDDEN WORLD)
Author: Amani Ghazi Jarrar, Published Year: 2021
Faculty: Arts

Abstract: In today’s world, we encounter a great number of exacerbating conflicts and crises that may even lead to annihilation of human life on this planet, if they are allowed to persist. Into whatever direction we turn, we witness raging fateful North/South and East/West struggles. However, nothing would enable us to overcome such ongoing political conflicts, economic crises, environmental catastrophes or social afflictions other than using a great panacea and supreme instrument of this equation – that is, to put the necessary human principles in place. Whosoever believes in the oneness of humanity – irrespective of the multiplicity and diversity of its parties, regions, and warring factions – finds nothing at the core, save that essentially indivisible human spirit, notwithstanding the diversity of ethnicity, creeds, denominations, ideologies, and interests. file:///C:/Users/aj8in/Desktop/Towards-Social-Justice-Global-Citizenship-dr-Amani-Jarrar-1 (1).pdf
