Faculty: Law

Abstract: Abstract The aim of the study is to show the extent of the criminal liability of perpetrators of Internet begging who solicit others’ sympathy on social media with the aim of obtaining financial compensation, which is through electronic transfers through various electronic means of payment. This requires a national and international legal action to curb this crime because it is on the rise. This study followed the descriptive, analytical and comparative approach. The descriptive approach is through the study of national laws in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, laws in the United Arab Emirates and relevant international laws. The analytical approach is through the analysis of those previous laws. The comparative approach is through the comparison between the previous laws and the demonstration of strengths and weaknesses in each law. The study found that the UAE legislator was better than the Jordanian legislator when explicitly providing the crime of Internet begging in the Cybercrime Act because this shows the importance of the crime and illustrates its devastating effects on society, but the Jordanian legislator refers this crime to the Jordanian Penal Code, and the perpetrator is punished with a penalty that is more severe than provided by the UAE Cybercrime Act. With regard to the recommendations, I wish the Jordanian legislator to explicitly provide the crime of Internet begging and the proposed provision as follows: "anyone who commits the crime of Internet begging using the means of Information Technology in any form or means shall be punished with imprisonment for a period of not less than three months or a fine of not less than five thousand dinars and not more than ten thousand dinars or both of these penalties."

Research Title: A Green, Solvent- and Cation-Free Approach for Preparing 5-Fluorouracil-Loaded Alginate Nanoparticles Using Microfluidic Technology
Author: Mohammad Bayan, Published Year: 2025
Pharmaceutics, 17
Faculty: Pharmacy

Abstract: Background/Objectives: Alginate nanoparticles (NPs) are commonly synthesised using either an emulsion technique that involves organic solvent use or ionotropic gelation utilising multivalent cations, e.g., Ca+2. However, the extensive use of organic solvents imposes detrimental effects on the ecosystem, and using multivalent cations as crosslinkers could eventually lead to the leakage of these cations, thus disrupting nanoparticle matrices. Therefore, this study aimed to overcome the limitations of these techniques by eliminating the usage of organic solvents and multivalent cations. Methods: In this research, alginate nanoparticles were synthesised using proton gelation by microfluidic technology through protonating alginate carboxylate groups to crosslink alginate chains through H-bond formation. Results: The prepared acid-gelled alginate nanoparticles demonstrated an MHD circa 200 nm and a PDI of less than 0.4 at pH 0.75. Moreover, 5-FU was successfully encapsulated into acid-gelled alginate nanoparticles and displayed a high EE% of around 30%, comparable to the EE% at high alginate concentration and molecular weight (0.4 H-ALG) achieved by Ca+2-crosslinked alginate nanoparticles; however, 5-FU NPs had superior characteristics, i.e., a lower MHD (around 500 nm) and PDI (<0.5). The optimum formula (0.4 H-ALG) was explored at various pH values, i.e., low pH of 4.5 and high pH of 10, and alginate NPs produced by acid gelation demonstrated high stability in terms of MHD and PDI, with slight changes at different pH values, indicating stable crosslinking of alginate matrices prepared by technology compared with Ca+2-crosslinked alginate NPs. Conclusions: In conclusion, this research has invented an ecologically friendly approach to producing acid-gelled alginate nanoparticles with superior characteristics compared with the conventional methods, and they could be harnessed as nanocarriers for therapeutics delivery (5-FU). Also, this research offers a promising approach for developing eco-friendly and biocompatible drug carriers. The produced nanoparticles have the potential to enhance drug stability, improve controlled release, and minimise toxic effects, making them suitable for pharmaceutical applications.

Research Title: Computational and Experimental Insights into the Anticancer Activity of Benzylidene Amino Benzoate Derivatives: A Study Based on Docking, DFT, and In Vitro Assays
Author: Adnan Dahadha, Published Year: 2025
Journal of Molecular Structure,
Faculty: Science

Abstract: Series of benzylidene amino benzoate derivatives were synthesized under mild conditions, chemical structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed through different spectroscopic analysis. Anticancer activity was evaluated against four cancer cell lines (PC3, A549, A2780, and MDA-MB-231). The results showed potent cytotoxic effects with notable selectivity. Compounds 5, 6, 9, and 10 displayed significant activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.11 µM to 1.37 µM. Molecular docking studies indicated favourable binding affinities for compound 8 toward different tyrosine kinases receptors, with the highest affinity for binding to VEGFR2. This result was consistent with 76.25% in vitro inhibition activity against VEGFR2. Docking simulations revealed that hydrogen bonds could form between compound 8 and the residues Asp 1046 and Lys 868, while electrostatic interactions were observed with residues His 1026 and Glu 885, at the ATP-binding pocket. The compounds complied with Lipinski's Rule of Five, supporting their suitability for further development as orally active drugs. Non-substrate behaviour toward P-glycoprotein was observed for the synthesized compounds, implying they were unlikely to be expelled by this transporter. DFT calculations highlighted important reactive regions within the target compound, particularly around the nitro and ester groups, which participated in hydrogen bonding interactions. Furthermore, FMO suggested versatility in the chemical reactivity. Enhanced inhibition of VEGFR2 by compounds like 5 and 8 was predicted with lower chemical potential and higher electrophilicity indices. Based on these findings, imine compounds should be prioritized for the synthesis of more derivatives and for in vivo studies to enhance their therapeutic efficacy as anticancer agents.

Abstract: The catalytic effects of two water-soluble polymers, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), on the oxidation kinetics of acetylsalicylic acid by potassium permanganate in the presence of sulfamic acid were examined for the first time. The progress of the oxidation reaction in acidic aqueous solutions was monitored using a spectrophotometric method. The kinetic experiments were conducted under pseudo-first-order reaction conditions with respect to the oxidant. The current study confirmed that the oxidation reaction follows first-order kinetics for [potassium permanganate] and fractional orders for [acetylsalicylic acid] and [hydrogen ion]. Additionally, the reaction rate constants significantly increased in the presence of PVA and PVP. Consequently, Piszkiewicz’s cooperativity and Benesi-Hildebrand equations were effectively applied to the kinetic data to explain the catalytic behaviour of these polymers. The activation energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the studied reaction were determined using Arrhenius and Eyring equations. A plausible mechanism and rate law consistent with the kinetic data were proposed.

Abstract: The integration of digital financial technology has revolutionized the global financial system, driving financial inclusion as an important pillar of sustainable economic development. This study examines the multidimensional effects of Digital Financial Technology and Financial Inclusion for Economic Development in middle- and highincome countries. The study employs various indicators of financial inclusion and technology, namely access to the internet, Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), bank branches, and the number of depositors using panel regression analysis covering 20 middle-income countries and 22 high-income countries from 2010 to 2021. The regression analysis results show that ATMs, internet access, bank branches, and number of depositors all have a positive correlation with the Index of Human Development, which was used to measure economic development. This supports the idea that wider use of technology and increased financial inclusion can lead to higher levels of human development. Conversely, the study highlights a negative correlation between inflation rates (as a control variable) and the Human Development Index (HDI) emphasized the significance of maintaining price stability for sustained economic progress. The study concludes that digital financial technology and financial inclusion positively impact the economic development of countries and the disparity between middle- and high-income countries. So, the middle-income countries should prioritize t
