Two Water Aqueducts From Kabri To ‘Akko In The Ottoman Period, Yuval Gur

'Atiqot

Al-Jazzar Aqueduct and Sulayman Aqueduct were constructed in the Ottoman period to convey water from the springs of Kabri to the city of ‘Akko. Al-Jazzar Aqueduct was built in the second half of the eighteenth century by Jazzar Pasha, which prior to the present excavation was known only from Jacotin’s map and a few historical sources. The Sulayman Aqueduct, also known as the Aqueduct of Arches, was erected between 1812 and 1814 by Sulayman Pasha, and still stands today. The aqueducts extend east of Road 4, within the village of Mazra‘a, crossing Naḥal Bet Ha-‘Emeq and continuing between Kibbutz Loḥame …

Based on stratigraphic considerations, radiocarbon dating and small finds, the dam wall dated to the latter half of the first century BCE, the days of King Herod. In the first half of the first century CE, a magnificent stone-paved triclinium building, with a central fountain flanked by two triclinia halls, was built …

Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

Business entities employ predatory pricing as a strategy primarily aimed at eliminating competitors. The regulation and detection of predatory pricing are complex processes, and each country adopts distinct mechanisms to address the issue. The scientific contribution of this study lies in its comparative analysis of two different legal systems—Indonesia’s civil law and the United States’ common law—in addressing predatory pricing practices under competition law. It examines how differing legal frameworks influence the methods of proof, the application of the rule of reason principle, and the pattern of sanctions imposed on business actors. In addition, this study adopts an interdisciplinary approach …

From Enhancement To Substitution: A Strategic Provocation On Simulation-Based Sport, Grant B. Morgan, Andreas Stamatis

Journal of Applied Sport Management

Advances in artificial intelligence, large-scale machine learning, and simulation technologies are rapidly transforming how sport is played, analyzed, and consumed. To date, most scholarly and industry discussions frame these technologies as tools that enhance embodied sport by improving performance, officiating, media production, and fan engagement. This paper extends that conversation by posing a more provocative strategic question: under what conditions might simulation move from enhancement to substitution? Focusing explicitly on sport as a business and entertainment enterprise, we argue that many of sport’s core sources of cultural and economic value—uncertainty of outcome, narrative continuity, legitimacy, and collective meaning—are structurally …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

In this qualitative study, attachment styles of women who are attracted to violent incarcerated men were investigated.

However, many teachers still experience gaps in this technology, particularly in digital literacy, resistance to change, and limited access to adequate facilities and training. This study …

Titi Bilang Bahagi Ng Katawan: Somatikong Pagbasa Sa Akdang Pambata, Axle Christien J. Tugano

Dalumat: Multikultural at Multidisiplinaryong E-Journal sa Araling Filipino

Kritikal na sinuri ng rebyung ito ang akdang pambata nina Genaro Gojo Cruz at Beth Parrocha na pinamagatang “Ako ay May Titi.” Sa mahabang panahon, matagal na siniil ang malayang talastasang ukol sa genitalia (titi at puki) gayong isa ito marahil sa mga bahagi ng katawang tao na tinukoy ni Bryan Turner (1992) na nangangailangan ng somatikong pagbasa sa kultural at politikal na katangian ng katawan. Higit pa sa anatomikong pagtingin, ang titi ay hindi lamang simpleng “segregasyon” ng kasarian at seksuwalidad ng tao, ngunit ito rin ay isa sa mga unang bahagi ng katawang natututuhan ng isang bata. Binuksan …

Women's Social Roles And Alcohol Use Among Military-Connected Spouses, Sheila Kathleen Mccabe Nickerson

Dissertations and Theses

Increases in women's alcohol use are an intensifying public health problem in the United States, contributing to a hidden epidemic of alcohol-related mortality. Women's alcohol consumption is often not openly discussed or recognized due to social stigma, the perception that women drink less than men, and the fact that women can experience negative health consequences from lower levels of alcohol consumption (relative to men), making the issue less visible than it actually is. A range of factors potentially influence women's drinking, including social roles (i.e., mother); yet, the literature is varied as to whether the combination of multiple-role demands/expectations fosters …

Assessing The Impact Of Substance Abuse On Occupational Injuries Using Workers Compensation Claims In Ohio, Samson Agboola

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Occupational injuries remain prevalent across various industries, resulting in significant financial burdens for both organizations and employees through increased workers’ compensation claims. One potential contributing factor is substance use in the workplace, which has been linked to decreased productivity, impaired judgment, and workplace conflict. Despite these risks, the relationship between substance use and occupational injuries remains underexplored. As such, grounded in constructivism and interpretivism, this study investigated the extent to which substance use influences injury outcomes and whether its role is underestimated in workplace incident reporting by analyzing worker’s compensation claims in Ohio. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a …
