Derivation From Underived Nouns Between Theory And Practice A Morphological And Semantic Study, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullah Ahmed Al-Zein

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

Derivation is deemed one of the most significant sources for enriching and expanding the vocabulary of Arabic language. Arabs derive words not only from verbal roots but also from underived nouns—such as nouns of meaning, time, entities, and sounds. This study aims to present the opinions of linguists regarding derivation from underived nouns, in addition to examining the practical reality of this phenomenon through evidence from Arabic dictionaries and linguistic works, which confirm or prohibit permissibility thereof. The researcher adopts the descriptive method,. The study concludes that derivation from underived nouns is based on unwriten precedents, and due to the …

Cultural Life In The City Of Nizwa During The Period (3-6 Ah / 9-12 Ad), Maryam Bint Abdul Latif Al-Nuaim

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

This study discusses the scholarly life in the city of Nizwa from the 3rd to the 6th centuries AH (9th–12th centuries AD). During this era, Nizwa emerged as one of the most prominent centers of learning in eastern Arabian Peninsula and the Islamic world. The people of Nizwa relied on educational institutions such as mosques, kuttabs (traditional elementary schools), Qurʾanic schools, and scholarly circles to gain and spread knowledge. Scholars of Nizwa contributed to the development of Sharia Sciences and linguistic sciences. In addition, the city’s geographical location, political stability and interacting with other scientific centers helped to support the …

Belonging Through Research: How Engaging Undergraduate Efl Students In Authentic Research Experiences Affects Their Sense Of Belonging, Dr. Nawal Ibrahim Alhodithi

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

When undergraduate EFL students engage in authentic research, they begin to see themselves not merely as language learners but as legitimate researchers, a transformation that reshapes their academic belonging. This study investigates how authentic undergraduate research experiences influence English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ sense of belonging in a Saudi higher-education context. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from 122 female undergraduate EFL students enrolled in a Research Methods course. Quantitative data were gathered using an adapted multidimensional belonging survey measuring membership, acceptance, affective comfort, trust, and participation/withdrawal, while qualitative reflections captured students’ identity development and research perceptions. …

Human-Mediated Dispersal And Breeding Reshape Global Genomic Patterns In Black Soldier Flies, Peter Muchina, Johnson Kinyua, Fathiya Khamis, Chrysantus M. Tanga, Rawlynce Bett, Geoffrey Ssepuuya, Dorothy Nakimbugwe, Mikkel-Holger S. Sinding, Grum Gebreyesus, Goutam Sahana, Zexi Cai

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Human activities, either intentional or unintentional, have significantly influenced the global distribution and genetic composition of many species. The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens; BSF) is a species native to North America that has rapidly gained commercial importance due to its bioconversion efficiency, upcycling organic waste into higher-value products. Through human-mediated dispersal associated with trade and insect farming, BSF has been introduced widely across the Old World, including Africa, where both wild and captive populations are now established. Despite its expanding global distribution, the demographic history and genomic consequences of these introductions remain poorly understood, particularly in Africa. This work …

Nutrition Assistance Programs And Pediatric Weight Outcomes: A Systematic Review, Dan Ferris, Genevieve Davison, Tyler Frank, Amanda Gilbert, Fanice Thomas, Sydney Rothman, Kim Lipsey, Sarah Moreland-Russell

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Food insecurity and pediatric obesity have increased concurrently in the U.S., raising questions about the role of Federal Nutrition Assistance Programs (FNAPs) in shaping weight outcomes. This systematic review examined evidence on relationships between FNAP participation and pediatric weight outcomes.

METHODS: Six databases were searched for U.S.-based, peer-reviewed studies published through July 2024 that assessed FNAP participation and pediatric weight outcomes.

RESULTS: Seventy-five studies met the inclusion criteria, and no consistent pattern indicated that any single FNAP or program type (educational setting-based or direct financial support) reliably reduced or increased childhood overweight or obesity risk. Twenty studies found statistically …

Teaching Horizontal Mergers To Undergraduates: The Case Of American Airlines And Us Airways

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper proposes a novel approach to teaching about horizontal mergers. We use the case of the recent airline merger between American Airlines and US Airways to analyze its potential economic impacts. We describe the merger, discuss the institutional details of the US government’s decision-making process of approving or rejecting mergers, and explain the merger’s trade-offs using the Williamson model of market power and economic efficiency. The paper provides lecture materials, including an Excel simulation, presentation and sample assignments that can be used by instructors teaching undergraduate courses in intermediate microeconomics, managerial economics, industrial organization, and law and economics.

Biases And Student Portfolio Management Behavior Profiles: An Empirical Taxonomy

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Many investment portfolios are managed by individuals. In order to better understand their portfolio decisions, we must understand how cognitive biases might affect behavior in making these decisions. While a simplistic view might only consider an individual’s management effort, a feature-based approach allows us a more developed understanding of portfolio management. To achieve this objective, this paper develops an empirical taxonomy of portfolio management behavior profiles through surveys of 48 undergraduates participating in the Stock-Trak® project. The four management profiles we define in this paper – Resolute, Insecure, Fastidious, and Passive are distinct in terms of behaviors, effort, and perceived …

It's Just Like Magic: The Economics Of Harry Potter

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Do the laws of economics apply in the magical world of Harry Potter? Even though J.K Rowling placed her characters in a world of magic, wizards remain subject to the implications of scarcity. As a result, the series is abundant with examples of basic economic principles. Given the popularity of the series, its use in the classroom is likely to inspire students to adopt the economic way of thinking for life. We demonstrate the pedagogical potential of the series by providing illustrations of trade-offs and opportunity costs, marginal thinking, the power of incentives, and the benefits of trade and commerce.

Productive Complements: Too Often Neglected In The Principles Course?

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Many great economic thinkers, including Alfred Marshall and William Stanley Jevons discussed the importance of joint production, or productive complements, and there are important applications. Yet many students today could complete an economics major and never be introduced to this important concept.

Demystifying Free Cash Flow Valuation

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

In this paper we provide a straightforward framework for valuing firms. Students and even practitioners often struggle with the details of the valuation process as commonly presented in finance textbooks. Using a numerical case example, we highlight some of the fundamental but often misunderstood valuation concepts. First, we discuss the connection among major cash flow identities. Next, we demonstrate the use of the adjusted present value approach to perform firm valuation. When the capital structure is non-constant, the adjusted present value method yields more accurate results than the traditional valuation model that uses the weighted average cost of capital.

Daily Clicker Questions Combat Procrastination

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

The use of classroom response systems to promote active learning is growing, but the evidence on whether clicker questions actually help students to learn is mixed. This paper uses formative assessments of individuals to predict their overall achievement instead of comparing the performance of clicker and control groups. It finds that students who answer more daily clicker questions correctly have higher summative assessments, after considering the effects of other important variables. Individuals who understand course content earlier also perform better in the end.

Clickers: Performance And Attitudes In Principles Of Microeconomics

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Clickers are one tool available to classroom instructors seeking new ways to engage students. There has been extensive research in the sciences studying the effectiveness of using clickers in the classroom but very little within the economic discipline. This study analyzes the relationship between using clickers for participation only and using clickers for graded daily quizzes in Microeconomics. Student attitudes concerning clickers are also investigated. While no significant difference is found in final course grade, results show that students perform best on daily quizzes taken with paper and pencil. Additionally, students overwhelmingly enjoy clickers in the classroom regardless of usage.

Dispelling The Pessimistic Bias

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper provides resources and methods for confronting and refuting “the pessimistic bias.” This bias was identified by Bryan Caplan in The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies (2007.) Caplan defines the pessimistic bias as “a tendency to overestimate the severity of economic problems and underestimate the (recent) past, present, and future performance of the economy.” It originates in the gap between public perceptions and historical reality. Professors and students of economics should: (1) be aware of the problem, and (2) have tools and methods to address this commonly-held bias.

The Theory Of The Firm, Transaction Costs, And Financial Statements

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

The paper links the economic theory of the firm with the firm’s balance sheet and income statement by including transaction costs, disequilibrium, and comparative statics in a model of a firm in a perfectly competitive industry. The analysis builds in particular on contributions by Ronald Coase.
